Tottenham: Josh Keeley ‘Primed’ to become a ‘Star’ in North London after recent developments
John Wenham of Lilywhite Rose believes that 20-year-old Josh Keeley is “primed” to become a “star” at Tottenham.
Keeley is currently playing his football on loan in the National League with Barnet after spending the first part of the season featuring regularly for the Under-21s.
Spurs’ feelings on the goalkeeper are clear as he continues to train part-time at Hotspur Way, while Guglielmo Vicario recently went to watch him in action with Barnet (via Football London, 6 March).
Keeley penned a new deal with Spurs last month, and Wenham believes that the shot-stopper has a big future ahead of him in North London.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Wenham, the founder of reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, said: “I expect Keeley to jump up a couple of divisions next year after his loan this season.
“They like him at Tottenham, you wouldn’t have Vicario checking in on his progress if the club didn’t think he was important.
“They do like him a lot and it looks like he is being primed to one day become a first-team star at Tottenham.”

Keeley has become Barnet’s number one since joining the club and will look to help the Bees achieve promotion to EFL League Two via the National League play-offs.
It is a fantastic experience for a young goalkeeper, and at the age of 20, Keeley has plenty of time ahead of him to make a name for himself at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He has already caught Vicario’s eye and based on the Italy international’s performances this season, Keeley could learn a lot from Spurs’ number one.
The Republic of Ireland Under-21 is one for Spurs supporters to keep an eye on over the coming years.
