Roberto De Zerbi<\/a> has led the pursuit of proven Premier League<\/a> experience at Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, but it’s worth remembering that many of the club’s modern success stories have come when gambling on youth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, there is merit in De Zerbi’s approach, following a few wretched years in north London, but Spurs need to ensure they don’t sell tomorrow in order to fund today.<\/p>\n

The likes of Luka Vuskovic and Tynan Thompson have departed, with Lucas Bergvall likely to follow, the Lilywhites perhaps moving away from a tradition that saw them snap up the likes of Dele Alli or Gareth Bale in years gone by.<\/p>\n

Who will emerge, therefore, as the next young sensation at N17?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n The Spurs youngsters who could sparkle in the first-team next season<\/strong>

Hopes remain high regarding the long-term plan for 19-year-old, Mikey Moore, although following a fine season on loan at Rangers, the teenager is expected to head out again in order to join FC Koln.<\/p>\n

In terms of who might actually impact De Zerbi’s first-team ranks, the main attraction remains 17-year-old, Luca Williams-Barnett, the promising midfielder having long been touted as the next superstar off the conveyor belt.<\/p>\n

Indeed, in the first pre-season game against MK Dons, the Englishman’s second-half display arguably outshone the debuts of both Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes<\/a>, the youngster having run the show in the centre of the park.<\/p>\n
