The metaphorical curveball in this list, Harry Winks has yet to establish himself at Tottenham, but that does not diminish his potential. As this article demonstrates, there are many excellent young players at Spurs, and only eleven can be on the pitch at any one time.

Josh Onomah

A slightly eccentric midfielder in the way he can unorthodoxly pick out a pass to a teammate that didn’t look on in any way shape or form, Josh Onomah is appearing more and more off the bench for Tottenham both in the Premier League and Europe.

My idealised vision of Spurs signing a player named ‘Head’ to give the Lilywhites a potential lineup of Onomah, Head and Son remains a distant pipe dream.
