The Youth Players/On-Loan Thread 2019/20

Status
Not open for further replies.
George Marsh made his first start of his career on Tuesday evening for Leyton Orient in their 2-0 victory over Southend United in the EFL Trophy.

The 20-year-old, who signed for the O’s on loan until January last month, made his senior bow in their 1-1 draw at Salford City on Saturday, but was handed his full debut at Brisbane Road in their Group C opener against the Shrimpers.

Marsh played the full 90 minutes as a goal in each half from Dan Happe and Dale Gorman saw Orient make the perfect start to their campaign and inflict more misery on former Tottenham assistant manager Kevin Bond, who’s Southend side have now lost eight of their nine games in all competitions this season.

Elsewhere, there was more good news for another Spurs loanee as striker Kazaiah Sterling was on target for Doncaster Rovers in their 3-1 victory over Lincoln City in South Yorkshire.

Sterling also claimed an assist against the same opponents in League One on Saturday and will be hoping to earn his first start since joining from Spurs when they host Rotherham United on Saturday.

Looks like we scored from a very good piece of football, whilst we conceded from some individual errors and being outmuscled. Not too bad really.
 
Report: 14-year-old ex-West Ham United defender Temidire Emmanuel Okuwa has joined Tottenham Hotspur

According to All Nigeria Soccer, Tottenham Hotspur have secured the services of former West Ham United defender Temidire Emmanuel Okuwa, beating Chelsea to his signature.

The highly-rated 14-year-old left West Ham at the end of last season having spent five years in their academy, and he went on trials at both Tottenham and Chelsea, training with the London duo before opting for the North Londoners.

Okuwa will now link up with Spurs’ U14 team and hope their clear and proven path through the youth ranks into the first-team can boost his chances of turning out for them professionally.

Tottenham snapped up teenagers Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham and Jack Clarke from Leeds United, and while their latest youth acquisition has gone completely under the radar, he could prove to be a world-beater given his huge potential and versatility.

It remains to be seen if the Hammers will one day regret letting him go, but the fact that both the Blues and Spurs wanted him speaks volume.

Apart from being able to play across the backline, Okuwa can also comfortably play in central midfield and as a defensive midfielder, and such talent could see him become a Tottenham star in the future.

Despite the many young hopefuls in the Tottenham Academy, only the likes of Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Andros Townsend, Jake Livermore, Tommy Carrol, Ryan Mason, Nabil Bentaleb have made a name for themselves by breaking their way to the first-team in recent years, and it will interesting to see if Okuwa can follow suit.

That’s definitely a big name signing.
 
That looks like quite a young under 23 team, maybe a delibrate ploy to get them playing as high up as possible. In Europe and France particularly they would be playing top flight league football at 19.
