Tottenham Hotspur’s recruitment of youth talents over the last couple of years has been exemplary, with the club shifting their focus to signing players who have the potential to be special in North London over the coming years.
Lucas Bergvall is just one example of the club’s recent transfer activity, signing from Djurgarden this summer, with the 18-year-old already featuring eight times this season for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
The Swedish youngster has already proved that he’s more than capable of being a regular first-team squad member, aiding his development and allowing him to reach the potential he possesses.
Spurs also agreed a deal for centre-back Luka Vuskovic last summer, with the club forking out £12m for his services despite being just 16.
He’s already scored four times on loan for Belgian side Westerlo this season, appearing to be a real threat in both boxes despite now being just 18 years of age.
However, the club also currently employ a superb youngster who’s made a huge impact on Postecoglou’s first team squad over the last couple of weeks.
Brennan Johnson’s stats in 2024/25
Welsh winger Brennan Johnson moved to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium last summer for a huge £47.5m from fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest.
However, at times, it’s not been as successful as the 23-year-old would’ve envisioned, often being benched and often coming under fire for his below-par displays – as demonstrated in recent weeks.
The attacker was subject to abuse on social media, so much so that Johnson was forced to deactivate his Instagram account just to prevent any further backlash.
Undoubtedly, a select group of the fanbase took their frustration too far, but ever since the incident, the Welshman has found the form of his career – scoring in six consecutive matches for the very first time.

As a result, he’s now a key part of Postecoglou’s side – a stark contrast compared to just a couple of weeks ago.
The injury to Heung-min Son has seen a lack of goals, with the 23-year-old stepping up and taking responsibility at the top end of the pitch alongside club-record signing Dominic Solanke.
However, he could be aided in his attempts in attacking areas by the potential signing of one player who’s appeared on the club’s radar in recent days.
