Ryan Mason

A product of the Tottenham Hotspur Academy, Ryan Mason, 18, has scored an impressive 39 goals in 47 games (4 games starting on the bench) for the academy.

Mason started off in midfield, but was ushered into an attacking midfielder/striker role by Clive Allen after he scored 11 goals in his first full season.

Ryan Mason is extremely pacey and has an abundance of skill.

We expect him to make several first-team appearances in the coming season, especially in the early League Cup rounds.

  1. My brother was at school with and quite good friends with Ryan Mason and when he started scoring goals for the spurs youth teams he couldn't believe it. He always said that he though Ryan was far to small and not head and shoulders above some of the other kids at his school.

    Has anyone seen him live this year? Has he filled out at all and does he look as good as all those goals suggest?
  2. I don't think it's quite true that he started out as a midfield player. I think he'd always played as the link man.

    I've seen him a few times this year. He's very slight but, like Modric, seems to take the knocks and get back up.

    He has the best technique and football brain of all of the Academy players IMO, but it's important to remember that there is a long way to go in his development.

    His goals record is particularly impressive given the position he plays - very much a number 10 playing just off the striker.

    Against West Ham on Saturday he hit an unbelievably good dipping volley that smashed against the crossbar. He hit the bar twice in that game, and once last night.
