Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou have plenty of young talent to choose from at Hotspur Way.

Postecoglou will consider himself a lucky man with the number of young talents he has at his disposal in North London.

Players such as Jamie Donley and Alfie Dorrington are already bursting onto the scene after their impressive performances with Spurs' Under-21s this season, but the goldmine of talent doesn't stop there.

Tyrese Hall is beginning to make waves after his increased involvement with the Under-21s following a string of impressive displays for the Under-18s, while Leo Black recently earned his first international call-up.

Competition for places is fierce at Hotspur Way, with plenty of players looking to follow in Harry Kane's footsteps and emerge from the club's academy to world-class status.

And there is one unheard-of player within the ranks who is reportedly already making a name for himself with England.

As per the Evening Standard (20 March), 15-year-old Luca Williams-Barnett is someone for Spurs supporters to keep their eye on.

Who is Luca Williams-Barnett and why should Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou be excited?

Several journalists at the Standard have come together to rank London's top 50 youngsters, with Williams-Barnett appearing on that list.

They wrote that Williams-Barnett is "an attacking midfielder who typically plays from the left wing and is already known for his skills, dribbling and spectacular finishing.

"Regarded a top youth prospect by both Tottenham and England, and is starring for Spurs Under-16s this season."

Williams-Barnett has already been called up previously to represent England at Under-15 level, and it appears that he has made quite the impression.
