And 16-year-old midfielder Yago Santiago could be another name to add to Spurs’ glowing list of exciting prospects as Football London report that the Spanish playmaker has been training with the first-team during the international break.
Are you excited for Tottenham's current youngsters coming through?YesNo |

And supporters were excited to see the youngster promoted to training with the first-team during the international break, with some Tottenham fans predicting big things for the Spaniard.
Here’s what some Tottenham fans had to say about Santiago training with the first-team on Twitter…
What’s his reluctance to play these youngsters? The old guard are failing
