Tottenham table new multi-year offer to ‘hugely’ impressive youngster
Tottenham have offered Oscar Sandiford a new deal to extend his stay with the club’s Under-18s.
Spurs brought in teenage defender Sandiford from Crystal Palace after agreeing a compensation fee just over a year ago.
At the time Tottenham overcame competition to land Sandiford, John Wenham exclusively told Tottenham News, amid excitement at his future prospects.
The right-back has six England caps at Under-17 level and appears to be proving his worth since switching south for north London.
Tottenham offer Oscar Sandiford new contract
Sandiford, 16, has made six appearances for the Tottenham U18s this term, delivering three assists in the process.
And Spurs are so pleased with that progress that they want to ensure he continues developing at that academy level.
According to a new update from Lilywhite Rose on Instagram he has been offered a full two-year scholarship to join the U18s next season.
The Englishman is said to have “hugely impressed” since arriving from Crystal Palace.
The news comes as Tottenham have also made an offer to goalkeeper Max Sievey on the same basis.
Mikey Moore an example to follow at Tottenham
Spurs already have the likes of Luca Williams-Barnett and Jun’ai Byfield at the U17 World Cup with England so there clearly appears to be some top talent developing at the club.
Williams-Barnett may be on the way of Tottenham on loan in January, following in the footsteps of one of the most recent graduations to the senior side in Mikey Moore.
Moore departed Tottenham for Rangers on loan for the season last summer and after getting through the chaotic Russell Martin reign to start the campaign looks to be starting to impress of late.
The 18-year-old has made 21 first-team appearances in the past couple of years and scored his first goal for the club in the victorious Europa League campaign last term.
Fans, and the likes of Sandiford alike, will hope that the arrival of Thomas Frank in place of Ange Postecoglou won’t have done anything to block the pathway from age-group sides into the senior set up.
