Devine could push Maddison

Gold shared what he knows about the teenager.

“There are such high hopes for him within Sಌpurs and there’s a real feeling that next season, if he has a good season this season he could be a real Maddison alternative and someone to push him as this young player, and everything he’s done so far has matched the expectations,” Gold said.

Scary

Devine might just𝔍 be the most exciting academy product Tottenham have had since Harry Kane.

We’re getting way ahead of ourselves, but if people within Spurs genui𒉰nely 💟think he could push James Maddison next season, this is a special player.

Let’s not forget, Maddison was, ꦉby some distance, Tottenham’s best player this season when he was fit, and if they think Devine could get even close to that level next season, he is a superstar in the making.

This young man is just 19 years old, and he’s already being earmarked as someone who could potentially rival one of the best footballers in the෴ country for a place in this Spurs team.

Fingers c🦹rossed Devine can develop in the way Spurs expect him to, ♚because he sounds like a real talent.
