Tottenham Hotspur may be able to set up an unofficial partnership to develop their young talent.

Due to the risk of relegation, which remains strong heading into Sunday’s clash with Everton, Spurs have been rigid when it comes to handing minutes to youth stars.

Several were handed loan moves at the start of the season, with the likes of Will Lankshear and Mikey Moore impressing in their spells away from North London.

The hope will be that they can impress in pre-season and have a part to play in the next campaign, regardless of the division.

However, Tottenham will certainly sanction some loan exits again, and the latest news regarding Ange Postecoglou could aid that.

Ange Postecoglou in running for Championship job

Things have been downhill for Postecoglou, and for Tottenham, for that matter, since the Europa League triumph last year.

The Australian has been sacked again since then, while Tottenham have fallen even further down the Premier League table.

However, the best-case scenario for Spurs is to stay in the top flight, and for Postecoglou, it’s to find a new job, which he may be about to.

He is among the candidates for the Burnley job after Scott Parker was sacked earlier in the campaign, and if that were to happen, Spurs could benefit.

How could Postecoglou hire impact Tottenham?

The Championship is the best place for youth talent to develop, and if Postecoglou were to join Burnley, he would need reinforcements.

Tottenham have a whole host of youngsters looking to make their mark in senior football, and a loan move to Turf Moor would be a great opportunity.

Players like Lankshear are almost certain to leave on loan again, and the chance to play for a team competing at the top end of the league may be exactly what he needs to reach the next level.

While players like Luca Williams-Barnett and co may also benefit from the potential appointment.
