It seems that Jack Roles could be on his way out of Tottenham Hotspur. The youngster is out of contract in the summer and, according to Football.London, it looks increasingly likely that he might be making an exit.

As they rightly point out, the likes of Oliver Skipp and Tashan Oakley-Boothe are ahead of him in the pecking order and therefore a contract seems unlikely for the Cyprus under-21 international.

Roles, who turns 20 next week, has had an excellent season with the Tottenham under-23s. He has scored six and provided six goals from his 24 games but has clearly not done enough to impress Mauricio Pochettino and his future looks likely to be away from North London.

So will Spurs end up regretting his exit?

Roles has impressed with the youngsters but Tottenham have seen plenty of talented young players leave in similar circumstances and fail to make them regret the move.

The youngster has a big task ahead to prove Tottenham wrong and the likelihood is he faces a career in the Football League rather than the Premier League.

If that does prove the case, Tottenham can take credit for developing his talent, without feeling they are missing out.
