Tottenham finalise deal to sign ‘highly-rated youngster’ from Luton Town
The Joe Lewis family have once again strengthened Tottenham’s core with an incredible talent from Luton Town.
It was widely reported that the Lewis family are keen on investing in Spurs’ sporting success, and so far it’s a promise well kept.
The Lilywhites had one of their most successful summers in recent history, with Mohammed Kudus joining from West Ham and Tottenham securing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.
But for all those involved at the North London club, it seems that the summer was just the beginning.
Tottenham sign Austen Ball from Luton Town
Tottenham have completed the signing of “highly-rated youngster” Austen Ball from Luton Town, according to Lilywhite Rose via X on 3 October.
This follows Conall Glancy, who recently joined Spurs from Celtic and is also seen as one to watch over the next couple of seasons.
In fact, Tottenham’s Academy is home to several talented youngsters who have a shot at becoming consistent starters for the first team.
Luca Williams-Barnett recently signed his first professional contract at Tottenham after making his official senior debut in Spurs’ win over Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup third round.
- Williams-Barnett’s strike against Leicester City was named Under-18 Premier League Goal of the Season
- He was assigned Legacy Number 900 during his debut
- He already has 10 goal contributions in nine games this season
Meanwhile, Mikey Moore, who is currently on loan at Rangers, lifted the UEFA Europa League in his first full season with the first team.
There is no doubt that 15-year-old midfielder Ball will be looking at those two for inspiration while in North London with the hope of achieving great things while at Tottenham.
Thomas Frank will be looked at to integrate Tottenham’s youngsters
While first-team football may be a little premature for ball, there is a greater desire from fans to see their young stars integrated with the senior players.
Thomas Frank faced calls to play Williams-Barnett weeks before he made his debut for the Lilywhites, and will no doubt look to give a few more youth players minutes over the coming months.
Williams-Barnett, Tynan Thompson and Jun’ai Byfield are often referred to as Spurs’ core young trio, with the latter on the bench during Tottenham’s opening win over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League.
But Oliver Boast, who Spurs signed from Leeds United over the summer and who has already netted four goals in the Under-18s Premier League this season, will be one to keep an eye on.
Either way, especially if Tottenham continues to perform well in all competitions, Frank will be looked at to platform some of the club’s most promising young stars.
