Reo Griffiths has shone in Scott Parker’s Tottenham Under-18 side this season.
Tottenham Hotspur teenager Reo Griffiths has been in sensational form for Scott Parker’s Under-18 side this season – and Spurs fans now want the striker to replace Fernando Llorente on the bench against Watford.
Still only 17 years of age, Griffiths has amassed an incredible 27 goals in just 20 games for the north Londoners’ youth team but is yet to make his first-team debut under Mauricio Pochettino.
Griffiths’ incredible form was summed up in Spurs’ 9-0 win over north London rivals Arsenal, in which he scored four times. It has even seen other clubs become interested in his talents.
ESPN claim German side RB Leipzig are interested in the fleet-footed striker, who was one cap with England’s Under-17 side.
Now, with the Under-18 season finished, Spurs fans want to see Griffiths in action and have called on Mauricio Pochettino to choose him over out-of-form target man Fernando Llorente for the remaining games.
That starts with Monday night’s clash against Watford, and one fan believes Griffiths should replace Llorente because the latter is not in Pochettino’s “future plans”, just one season after joining Spurs for £12million from Swansea.
