Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Josh Onomah was sent out on loan to Aston Villa last term.

According to a report on Football.London, Mauricio Pochettino will have a serious look at Tottenham Hotspur’s Josh Onomah before deciding on his future this summer.

Onomah spent last season out on loan at Aston Villa, where he made a positive impact.

Tottenham are now set to assess the midfielder’s progress, before deciding what the next step is for his development.

Pochettino is a big fan of Onomah’s talent, but there has been no route into Tottenham’s first-team for him so far.

Harry Winks moved ahead of him in the pecking order at Spurs, which meant that a loan was needed to get him some first-team experience.

Villa have made no secret of their desire to keep Onomah, but their financial difficulties could make doing a deal difficult.

Tottenham are set to tour USA this summer to play in the International Champions Cup, and it could be that Onomah is taken with the Spurs first-team squad, as Pochettino reportedly wants to take a closer look at how the 21-year-old has developed during his time away from the club.
