Some have joined Premier League rivals, others are playing in non-league football.
Mauricio Pochettino has certainly picked up a reputation for giving the players in the Spurs academy a go in the first-team.
The likes of Harry Winks, Josh Onomah and Cameron Carter-Vickers are all options for the Spurs first-team.
But plenty of young players have got something of a chance in the past

.
In the 2011-12 season Spurs were in the Europa League and Harry Redknapp was keen to rest players in the competition.
It meant giving some of the talented players at the club a place on the bench.
So what has happened to the bench for a 0-0 draw against PAOK Salonika in September 2011, a game in which a young Harry Kane, Tom Carroll and Iago Falque started for Spurs?
They’ve all left, so where are they now?

The Brazilian goalie was a much-maligned figure at White Hart Lane.
He is now a regular in the Premier League at Watford and is a fan favourite at Vicarage Road.

The youngster was a winger when on the bench for this game but has developed into an attack-minded full-back.
He left Spurs without making a league appearance in 2015, briefly joining Bristol City, before heading to current club Fulham just three weeks later.

Made one first-team appearance for Spurs before being released by the club in June 2013.
Moved to Scottish side Greenock Morton but struggled for first-team football at the club.
Spells at AFC Wimbledon, St Albans, Hayes and Yeading and Kingstonian followed but the former England under-19 international is now in his second spell at Isthmian League Division One South side Walton Casuals.

There were high hopes for this playmaker – especially after an astonishing season out on loan at Brentford in 2014-15.
Unfortunately, a poor loan spell at West Brom and injury trouble saw him fall out of the thinking of Mauricio Pochettino.
Joined Norwich City permanently this summer.
Dean Parrett – Tottenham Hotspur XI
Dean Parrett
Considered a very hot prospect when signed from QPR as a teenager in 2007.
However, never looked up to the standard necessary and left for Stevenage in 2013 after several lower league loan moves.
Joined AFC Wimbledon this summer.

One that got away?
Followed former Spurs youth-coach Alex Inglethorpe to Liverpool in 2014.
Now a regular member of the Liverpool first-team picture and Spurs might be wondering if they should have tried harder to keep hold of him.

The defender never made an impact at Spurs and headed to Swindon Town in 2013. Currently at League Two side Cheltenham Town.
