Highly rated Tottenham Hotspur youngster Jamie Bowden has reportedly agreed a new three-and-a-half-year deal with the club.

According to a report from The Daily Mail, the club have tied the rising starlet down with a new contract until 2023.

The 18-year-old is considered one of the club’s brightest prospects for the future, and has previously drawn comparisons to former deep-lying playmaker Michael Carrick.

It is thought former manager Mauricio Pochettino was a big fan of the Republic of Ireland U19 international, with the Argentine handing him a first-team chance against Girona in pre-season in 2018.

He was also taken on the club’s pre-season tour of Asia earlier this year.

TBR’s view – Another Skipp/Winks?

Bowden is yet to make his first-team bow in a competitive capacity but if he works hard then perhaps his chance will come in 2019/20.

New manager Jose Mourinho has already suggested he’s prepared to give youth a chance at Spurs (official website), which will provide Bowden with all the encouragement he needs.

In recent times midfield talents Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp have made the step up from the academy, and Bowden will hope to be next.

Certainly the club seem to have faith in him by handing him a longer-term contract.
