Tottenham might have found their next Dele Alli after ‘sparkling’ hat-trick for their under-18s
Although things have been pretty grim for Tottenham Hotspur’s first team of late, the club’s academy sides and players have provided reason for optimism.
Mikey Moore is the obvious shining light in that regard at Tottenham right now, a youngster who is already making an impression at 17-years-old under Ange Postecoglou.
Moore has now made 15 senior appearances for Spurs, and he’s likely to continue to add to that number before the season ends.
Of course, Spurs also have several exciting youngsters out on loan right now, the likes of Jamie Donley and Will Lankshear.
Both were brilliant for Leyton Orient and West Bromwich Albion respectively on Saturday, two forwards who will still hope for a long future in N17.
And speaking of exciting potential, youngster Luca Williams-Barnett is now causing a lot of excitement at the club.
Luca Williams-Barnett does Dele Alli’s eye celebration after Tottenham hat-trick
At just 16-years-old, Williams-Barnett scored a ‘’ hat-trick for Tottenham’s under-18s on Saturday.
Williams-Barnett, who was born in Luton, is an attacking midfielder who certainly has an eye for a goal judging by his strikes against Brighton & Hove Albion’s youth side.
The youngster now has five caps for England under-17s and eagle-eyed Tottenham fans will have noticed that the midfielder has also made it on the bench four times under Postecoglou this season – three times in the Europa League and once in the Premier League.
And after scoring his hat-trick on Saturday, Williams-Barnett only furthered his comparisons to a young Dele Alli with his choice of celebration.
The youngster did Alli’s iconic eye celebration after netting his hat-trick, a player who will have grown up watching the former Tottenham star.
To this day, Alli is one of the most talented players to have ever emerged in N17, even if his career hasn’t always been straightforward.
Luca Williams-Barnett and Mikey Moore are the future for Tottenham
Of course, Tottenham fans won’t want to put too much pressure on Williams-Barnett too young, but the quality of his play for their under-18s is hard to ignore right now.
Perhaps Spurs are trying to prove to Williams-Barnett that he does have a clear path to succeed at the club by including him on their senior bench, despite his age.
And Tottenham fans therefore might already be dreaming of an attacking line that contains both Moore and Williams-Barnett, two homegrown stars.
That being said, Moore was impressed by Lankshear during his West Brom debut, a slightly older talent than those mentioned, but still one with ambitions to play for Spurs.
