Tottenham Hotspur have had a makeover this season following the appointment of manager Ange Postecoglou, who transformed the club’s fortunes.
A series of new signings, including Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven and James Maddison, have all begun as part of the overhaul of a squad that has remained stagnant under Antonio Conte.
While Conte has been reluctant to give younger players a chance to claim a place in his squad, Postecoglou has given Pape Matar Sarr a permanent place in his squad, while summer signing Alejo Veliz has also recently received some minutes to his name of him.
Will Alfie Dorrington be Tottenham’s next big talent?
Tottenham’s youth academy has also made an impressive start to their respective seasons and one of the next players to come off the production line could be Alfie Dorrington.
The 18-year-old centre-back has progressed through the ranks and is training with the first team, with the Enfield-born product reportedly standing out during sessions, according to journalist Paul Brown.
He told GiveMeSport: “There’s also Alfie Dorrington, who apparently stands out and Postecoglou has mentioned him a few times.
“So I think all these kids are going to have opportunities.
And it’s really encouraging if you’re a Spurs fan to see this happen, because I think the club made a lot of signings for managers like Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho in recent years because they wanted older, more experienced players to be able to step up. get on the right path. on the team and now I do something for them, and this feels like a bit of a reset.
“I think it shows long-term vision and thinking. I think Spurs’ future is safe in the hands of this man and that their young players will make great strides in the coming months with this manager.”
Dorrington appears to have responded as best he could to Spurs’ natural disappointment by signing Ashley Phillips from Blackburn Rovers, which would push him slightly down the future pecking order in north London.
