Tottenham youth expert reacts to Harry Kane comparisons with rising Spurs star
Tottenham fans have been told to hold off on the Harry Kane comparisons when it comes to Ashiah Haughton-Sinclair.
Hotspur Way is home to several young talents, all hoping for the chance to impress Thomas Frank.
Luca Williams-Barnett debuted for Tottenham in their victory over Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup and is now one of several Tottenham youngsters competing in the Under-17s World Cup for England.
However, Haughton-Sinclair is considered one of the most talented rising stars to arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in years.
Ashiah Haughton-Sinclair should be given time to develop
Haughton-Sinclair has performed so well for Tottenham that fans have drawn similarities between him and Spurs legend Kane.
The young striker has already debuted for Spurs’ Under-15s, and it has been suggested that Haughton-Sinclair could be rewarded with his Tottenham Under-18s debut soon.
However, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham has urged fans to stop with the comparisons and let the youngster develop in his own time.
“Ashiah is very highly regarded at the club and has already signed a four-year scholarship as an Under-14,” Wenham said.
“He is progressing very well, but like with all young players, it is better not to put too much pressure upon him with comparisons.”
All things considered, Haughton-Sinclair is definitely one star Tottenham fans should be excited about.

Are the Ashiah Haughton-Sinclair and Harry Kane comparisons warranted?
At just 14 years old, Haughton-Sinclair has already recorded over 400 goals at various academy levels.
- He has netted for both Spurs’ Under-15s and 16s
- The striker has over 40 goal contributions already this season
- Haughton-Sinclair scored 65 goals last season
Meanwhile, with 280 goals in 435 appearances, Kane left Tottenham for Bayern Munich in 2023 as the club’s all-time top scorer.
He arrived in North London at 15 and earned his first Scholarship a year later, which was an incredible feat at the time.
Kane proceeded to net 18 goals in 22 appearances for the Under-18s, which led to his senior debut during the 2009/10 season.
While comparisons between the two seem a little premature, Haughton-Sinclair has the potential to become a superstar at Tottenham.
