Tottenham could say goodbye to two of their most talented prospects this summer.
Two of Tottenham Hotspur’s brightest talents have found out the hard way that cracking the first team is no easy task.
A couple of years ago both Shayon Harrison and Marcus Edwards were tipped for the very top.
Now they are both being tipped to leave the North London club.
Shayon Harrison meanwhile was listed by Football London as one of the Tottenham talents who face being released later this month.
Edwards pushing more a move is clearly disappointing although there is something self-inflicted about his fate, failing to win over Mauricio Pochettino with questions over his attitude, exacerbated by his failure on loan at Norwich.
Yet there is something sadder about Harrison’s potential exit, with Spurs being ready to give up on a striker who appeared set for first team success.
Two summers ago he scored for Spurs in a 6-1 demolition of Inter Milan in pre-season and the stage was set for a run at the first team.
He never kicked on, making one appearance in the EFL Cup for a few minutes in defeat at Liverpool in 2016.
What has been most disappointing is his subsequent loan spells at Yeovil Town and Southend United, which yielded just one goal in 28 appearances combined.
Unlike Harry Kane who got four loan spells before cracking Tottenham’s first team, Spurs are ready to cut their losses with Harrison after two.
His loan form has not suggested he can make Tottenham’s first team, and Spurs may be making the right decision.
But having got so close to breaking through, if he does leave the club this summer, his failure will be frustrating for a club who have so desperately craved an alternative to Harry Kane, having blown millions in the transfer market on Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente over the past two years.
