Tottenham Hotspur have quite a few promising young strikers on the books.

From Troy Parrott to Dane Scarlett, Spurs are well stocked in regards to the next generation of hitmen.

But one man who doesn’t get the same attention is Kion Etete.

On Friday, the 19-year-old forward scored his fourth goal in six games to help Tottenham’s Under-23 side to a victory over Everton.

In the senior side, Harry Kane is head and shoulders above arguably every other number nine in world football, but Etete, who stands at 6’5, is head and shoulders above most players physically.

A number of photos from Friday’s win showed the big man towering above his Lilywhites’ team-mates.

Lord knows the route into Jose Mourinho’s senior side is a difficult one, especially for a striker given Kane’s presence.

But Etete seems to be making all the right noises at youth level this season and a senior loan away from North London next term would do him the world of good.
