The appointment of Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham head coach will hopefully see more players make the step up from the academy to the first team. Minutes for the club's youngsters were extremely hard to come by under Antonio Conte and fans are hoping that changes under the new man in the hotseat.
Speaking following the news on Tuesday that Postecoglou had penned a four-your contract in north London, chairman Daniel Levy outlined that the 57-year-old "has a strong track record of developing players and an understanding of the importance of the link from the academy - everything that is important to our club". Tottenham fans love nothing more than seeing their own excelling in the first team, with Harry Kane, now the club's all-time top goalscorer, the example all currently in the academy want to follow.
While Levy has mentioned that Postecoglou understands "the importance of the link from the academy" following his previous work elsewhere, the Australian outlined last month when he was in charge of Celtic that the academy players have to earn their opportunity and it would never be handed to them.
