Who should Spurs be looking to play in the New Year?

With 2017 beginning, a new year brings new hope to plenty of the young players at clubs in the United Kingdom.

So, which young players at Tottenham Hotspur might be worthy of getting a chance in the first-team in the next 12 months?

Here are three options for Mauricio Pochettino to consider…

Marcus Edwards

The talent of this attacker is not a secret.

Considered Lionel Messi-like in playing style time will only tell if he has a similar ability.

Spurs fans would love to see him get a chance in the Europa League.

Shayon Harrison

Tottenham have been linked with plenty of strikers for January, as they look to improve an area of the squad that is bare.

But perhaps talented striker Harrison could be a cheaper option.

Pochettino is never afraid to give young players a chance and perhaps that what he should do in the striking position.

The American talent is of course already in the Tottenham first-team but is not getting regular first-team football at the club.

With the Europa League an opportunity for young players to get first-team football, and rest some of the experienced central defenders, it might be time for the USA star to get a first-team chance.
