Five Spurs players named amongst best teenagers in the world | OneFootball

In recent years, we have seen Spurs put serious emphasis on youngsters with their recruitment. They have signed players aged 22 or under from Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Croatia, France, within the Premier League, and in the Championship.

Some have said the approach has gone too far, and that Spurs need more players in their prime. However, what cannot be denied is that the club have a lot of extremely talented young players, and that could come to fruition in the next few years.

It would appear that media publication GOAL agree with this take, with five players contracted to Spurs making their top 50 wonderkid list - where they rank the 50 best players born on 1/1/2006 or later.

Five Spurs youngsters on GOAL list of current wonderkids in football

At 43, they have Yang Min-hyeok, currently on loan at QPR. The 18-year old scored 12 goals in 38 appearances during his time in the K-League, and has been called up to the South Korea national team for a second time this month, where he could make his debut in their World Cup qualifiers.

Spurs have had a South Korean superstar for the last decade. Perhaps they will have one for the next decade too. If he proves to be half as good as Heung-Min Son has been for the club, then it will be money well spent.

Meanwhile, at 26 they have Luka Vuskovic. Currently on loan at KVC Westerlo in the Belgian Pro League, the Croatian defender has been thriving, both defensively and with a knack for goals at the other end.

Although there is no guarantee he will be kept in the first team next season, Spurs will at least finally have him officially join the club regardless - with a deal having to be delayed until he was 18 due to Brexit rules. Fans are eager to see if he remains part of the squad, or sent out on loan - likely to one of the top five leagues.

Then, at 22 they have Mikey Moore. There has been plenty of excitement and hype around Moore for a while now, who when available has often been around the first team this season - scoring his first goal in a win over Elfsborg in the Europa League.

Some have criticised Ange for not giving the 17-year old more starts - should the Australian depart the club this season, it will be interesting to see how many opportunities he gets next season. Perhaps he will be sent on loan for his development.

Next up, at 16 they have Lucas Bergvall. Despite beig 18 for most of this season, the teenager has become a regular in the team - and last didn't play a game he was available for against Wolves in December.

Although more of a technical player, he is also quite tenacious, and made five interceptions during the win over AZ Alkmaar. He already has four caps for the Sweden national team despite being just 18 when he played those games.

Finally, at 13 - the highest ranked Spurs player on the list - Archie Gray. Just like Bergvall, he turned 19 earlier this year. Despite being a central midfielder, he has played everywhere but there, only making his first start of the season in midfield on Sunday - unfortunately next to the chuckle brothers.

Nevertheless, he has still had a number of impressive performances in defence, and fans are hoping that he will eventually get a run in the team in midfield, giving him the chance to show everyone what he is capable of.
