The Nine Tottenham Wonderkids Thomas Frank Must Decide On
With a new head coach in place, Tottenham Hotspur enters another summer of transition. For nine talented academy stars, Thomas Frank’s arrival could mark a turning point in their careers.
Mikey Moore
Mikey Moore is among Spurs’ brightest young prospects. Still just 17, he featured 19 times last season and showcased moments of brilliance despite physical challenges. With his 18th birthday approaching, Spurs are expected to offer him a new deal, but whether he stays or goes on loan could hinge on homegrown squad needs and Frank’s development plans.
Jamie Donley
Donley thrived on loan at Leyton Orient, tallying 19 goal involvements and even impressing Pep Guardiola in the FA Cup. With four years left on his Spurs contract, the versatile playmaker is set to stay through pre-season so Frank can evaluate his role before deciding on a loan or first-team inclusion.
Dane Scarlett
At 21, Scarlett is entering a make-or-break season. Despite scoring his first goal for Spurs and showing progress on loan at Oxford, he hasn’t fully lived up to expectations. Whether he stays or goes could depend on the homegrown quota and Frank’s evaluation.
Will Lankshear
Lankshear, 20, got his first taste of senior football on loan at West Brom and even netted in the Europa League for Spurs. With Brentford previously showing interest and Ryan Mason now managing West Brom, Lankshear could go out again, though Frank may want a closer look in pre-season.
Alfie Devine
Devine, who turns 21 this summer, has had multiple loans but limited Spurs minutes. With only a year left on his contract (plus an option), this could be his last chance to break through. His connection with assistant Justin Cochrane, a fan from England youth setups, could be crucial.
Josh Keeley
Keeley had a standout season at Leyton Orient, notching 16 clean sheets and even scoring in the FA Cup. The 22-year-old earned an Ireland call-up and may be in line for a new contract, but whether he stays or heads out again will depend on Frank’s goalkeeping plans.
George Abbott
Abbott flew under the radar in League Two but excelled with 13 goal involvements for Notts County. The 19-year-old midfielder impressed with spectacular goals and consistent performances. While a loan remains likely, a strong pre-season could change Frank’s mind.
Callum Olusesi
Olusesi, 18, made his debut in the Europa League and was a regular on the bench throughout last season. With six goals in 13 U21 appearances, the dynamic midfielder could either go on loan or stay as a valuable homegrown option for European squads.
Luca Williams-Barnett
At just 16, Williams-Barnett dazzled for Spurs’ U18s with 32 goal involvements in 23 games. He also made multiple Europa League benches and one Premier League squad. Compared to Hoddle and Gascoigne by youth coaches, the creative talent is expected to get a long look in pre-season.
