Ange Postecoglou can find the next Harry Kane at Tottenham with five wonderkids ready to shine

The youth system at Tottenham Hotspur has perhaps gone by the wayside a little in recent years.

After Mauricio Pochettino's period of giving players a chance and playing attacking football, there's been a much more tumultous period of management and no one single boss has had the chance to give academy stars a real opportunity in the first-team squad, and some just simply didn't bother.

Harry Kane and Oliver Skipp are the two big names in the current first team squad to come from the academy, with Kane taking an eclectic path through various loans before eventually exploding and evolving into Spurs' all time leading goalscorer and a legend in N17. Skipp, at just 22, could yet lay his mark on the midfield and will certainly be relishing the chance to impress a new boss in Ange Postecoglou.
