‘Done really well’: Ange Postecoglou says there’s an 18-year-old at Tottenham who’s really impressed him

Devine has usually featured as an attacking midfielder in his career thus far but Ange might be promoting his versatility ahead of a loan.
Despite his impressive youth career, Devine will now really be hoping to forge senior minutes in the coming season.
And should he do well, there’s seemingly no ceiling to what he can achieve at Spurs.
Tottenham fans will also be relieved to know that he’s already agreed on a .
