Tottenham have a number of exciting young players worth keeping an eye on at the moment.

The likes of Mikey Moore and Jamie Donley have been tipped for big things in the future, and now, another young player has been tipped to get a first-team chance.

Indeed, speaking on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast, Alasdair Gold has earmarked George Abbott as a player to keep an eye on this season.

Gold says that people at Spurs are happy with the way Abbott is developing, claiming that he’s one to keep an eye on heading into next season.

George Abbott could get a chance

Gold shared his verdict on the 18-year-old’s first-team prospects.

“I have a funny feeling about George Abbott this season. I think people need to keep an eye on him. I think he could be one pushed more towards the first-team this season, if he’s not on loan. They were very pleased with his last year of development,” Gold said.

“It was reflected in the fact he became captain of the U21s for the second-half of the season.

“They were very pleased with his ability to play in numerous positions, mainly a midfielder, but he can play at right-back and centre-back which could come in handy. Maybe one to keep an eye on.”

Tottenham’s future is bright

Spurs’ future seems to be so exciting at the moment.

Abbott joins the likes of Donley, Moore, Ashley Phillips and Alfie Dorrington as young players who could have a bright future in north London, and that’s before we even mention the crop of players who are slightly older.

Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Pape Sarr and Destiny Udogie are already first-team players, and they’re so young as well.

Tottenham have got a lot of things wrong over the years, but they’re planning brilliantly for the future right now it would seem.
