Ange Postecoglou will love Tottenham U18s sensation Callum Olusesi after what he did v Arsenal
Tottenham academy has produced many talents throughout the years and Under-18s prospect Callum Olusesi is another Ange Postecoglou must keep an eye on.
The central midfielder, who is capable of playing further forward, has a keen eye for goal, notching nine goals and five assists in all competitions this season.
Having signed his first professional contract with Spurs last summer, the 17-year-old already understands the importance of the North London derby, which was evident as the Under-18s defeated Arsenal 3-2 on Saturday 4 May.

Though goals from Chido Obi and Michal Rosiak scored to turn the tie in the Gunners’ favour, Damola Ajayi and Gabriel Willhoft-King netted late on to secure all three points and move closer to their rivals in the U18 Premier League table.

As a central midfielder, Olusesi has had a huge impact throughout the season and has even earned himself a call-up to the U21s side, albeit featuring in a 5-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Fresh from an assist against West Brom in the previous match, it was no surprise to see the youngster on the scoresheet against Arsenal, though 22 seconds may have been a slight shock.
Olusesi has been much quieter in recent weeks, having been moved back to a more defensive role. However, it was key for him to be utilised in the final third of the pitch as Spurs beat Arsenal for the second time this season.
Postecoglou will certainly want to keep an eye on this youngster as he continues to develop. Fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium should also remember the name as it may not be too long until he is involved with the first-team set-up.
