Tottenham offer contract to midfield gem who’s already captaining his country
Tottenham have offered central midfielder Harry Hughes a scholarship to join the Under-18s next season.
The Lilywhites have not only invested in their academy these past couple of years, but have developed top-notch talents in the process.
Lucas Williams-Barnett is the most well-known and became legacy number 900 in his debut during Spurs’ 3-0 win over Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup earlier this season.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have also seen talents like Tyrese Hall thrive while on loan.
As a result, the North London club have been keen to keep the best of a solid bunch at Hotspur Way.
Harry Hughes to pen new deal at Tottenham
Central midfielder Hughes has been offered a two-year scholarship to join Tottenham‘s Under-18s next season, according to Lilywhite Rose via X on 20 November.
The youngster captained Northern Ireland’s Under-16s but is currently sidelined with a long-term injury.
This follows Oscar Sandiford, who recently extended his stay at Tottenham.
The right-back has already made multiple appearances for the Under-18s this season and has impressed since joining from Crystal Palace in 2024.
Under-16s keeper Max Sievey has also signed a two-year scholarship at Tottenham, in what has been a progressive week for the Lilywhites.
Solomon Olajide to join Harry Hughes in signing Spurs deal
Left-sided centre-back Solomon Olajide has also been offered a two-year scholarship to join the Under-18s next season, according to Lilywhite Rose.
The defender has already made his U18s debut against Birmingham City and helped his side keep a clean sheet.
The Lilywhites are currently making their way down a long list of U16 stars, so fans should expect to see more players extend their stay in North London over the next couple of months.
Indeed, Hotspur Way is home to several rising stars, including Ashiah Haughton-Sinclair, who has received Kane comparisons.
- He has over 40 goal contributions already this season
- Haughton-Sinclair scored 65 goals last season
The young striker has already debuted for the Under-15s and could make his U18s debut in the near future.
Therefore, Tottenham are set with bundles of talent for many years to come.
