Armend Muslika is making waves in Tottenham's academy.

The 17-year-old recently signed a first professional contract with the Lilywhites to commit his future to the N17 side.

He joined the North London outfit in 2022 at the age of 13, and has progressed through the ranks at Hotspur Way.

Muslika has made 68 appearances for the Under-18s, with 38 goals and 10 assists from midfield, which is an impressive record.

He has represented his home country, Albania, at Under-17 level, with eight caps and three goals to his name.

Now, he may on the verge of making Tottenham history after what has been spotted in EN2.

What first could Armend Muslika achieve at Tottenham?

Muslika could become the first Albanian to ever play a competitive match for Tottenham's first-team.

Leon Myrtaj is another prospect in Spurs' academy at the moment, and Elliot Krasniqi previously spent time there, but neither have made a senior appearance.

The Brenoge-born talent was spotted in training on Tuesday with Spurs' senior side.

Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham shared an image of the Albanian talent, who was apparently on the winning team in the session.

He said: "Armend Muslika in first-team training today and on the winning side."

Surely that suggests that he is on the verge of a breakthrough, and set for the latest Spurs first, if he is training with Roberto De Zerbi's side.

What has been said about Tottenham prospect Muslika?

Plenty of people have been complementary about Muslika and his style of play.

Tottenham Under-18s boss Jamie Carr waxed lyrical about the talent after he scored four times in win over West Brom in May 2026.

He said: “Armend produced three moments that unlocked West Brom in a really nice way and showed his level in tight areas with his ability to shoot through legs or to shape a finish.”

That is a glowing endorsement from somebody who works closely with the player on a weekly basis.

Albanian outlet Newsport labelled Muslika as a "diamond" after he bagged in a 2-1 loss to Kazakhstan Under-17s in November 2025.

Hopefully, Spurs can harness his potential in the right way, and he can become one of only a few Albanian players to light up the Premier League.

He has shown a proficiency at youth level, and hopefully De Zerbi and Co can get the best out of him in the senior ranks, once he is handed an opportunity, like Mikey Moore has done previously.

That should be in the near future, as it looks like he has impressed in first-team training, helping his side to get the victory.
