13 of the 23 players on tour are 23 or under


USA TOUR


Club captain Hugo Lloris met with the press in the US together with Mauricio Pochettino and reminded everyone of the Tottenham Hotspur aim.

“Our ambition is to win the league, I believe in the project & Pochettino is one of the best managers in the world. I try to lead my team as a captain and a friend too. Step by step we’re building something strong, it’s exciting times to be a Spurs player.”

The key phrase their is building step-by-step. To create success you must have a strategy, not continually act on whim, as a faction on Twitter want us to do. It always amazes me that a guy who can only work for someone else and follow their rules seems to think they know more about running a multi-million pound business than Daniel Levy, the man actually doing it. I mean what have these people ever managed, breakfast?

The promotion of our academy players has been fantastic for us to see and the emergence of Harry Winks last season as the long-term successor to Mousa Dembele was a joy to behold. He looks to have a big future ahead of him and seems to have his feet firmly planted on the ground.

This season it is time for others to make their mark and show they are the stars of tomorrow. pre-season tours have given us glimpses of future players and this year we have sent a squad to the USA where 13 out of 26 players who have travelled are aged 23 and under. that bodes well for the future.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of the youngsters in action again.
