Tottenham have a 'wonderkid' in their academy who could genuinely play for England one day - opinion
He's destined for big things...????
Tottenham Hotspur have a rich history of academy graduates.
Harry Kane is a prime example of that and is widely considered one of the greatest players to ever pull on the Tottenham strip.
With that said, it appears Spurs have another star emerging from the academy who is showing genuine promise to one day represent England at senior level – just like Kane.
Will Lankshear one of the brightest prospects in Tottenham’s academy
Will Lankshear, who’s been labelled a ‘wonderkid’ per The Sun, is perhaps the brightest prospect in Tottenham Hotspur’s academy at the moment.
Indeed, Mikey Moore certainly rivals him for that notion but considering he’s already made his senior debut, we’ve focused on Lankshear.
The former Sheffield United youth star is prolific for the under-21s, netting 26 times in 33 outings and he’s continued that vein in form with the young lions.
Since making his England under-19s debut last October, Lankshear has scored three goals in five appearances, so evidently he’s ready for senior football.
That came in pre-season and he made a real impression in Ange Postecoglou’s side, however, he is still awaiting his debut in a competitive match.
What the youth talent expert thinks of Will Lankshear
Superhotspur, who is well respected for his judgment on Tottenham academy players, provided a summary of his profile.
“With some good pace to his game, as well as being a tireless runner, Will is always on the move in and around the penalty area.
“However, what has been even more evident from this season in particular, is his clinical ability in front of goal.
“He has a real variety of finishes, and he is very clever in how he finishes his chances from inside the box.”
If Lankshear continues on the path of his lofty trajectory, he really could be a future England international.
