Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Leeds United starlet Ollie Pickles
The emergence of Ollie Pickles as a promising talent at Leeds United has certainly captured the attention of top clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. At just 16 years old, his performances, particularly in the FA Youth Cup where he led Leeds to the semi-finals, have drawn comparisons to established stars like Kalvin Phillips.
Pickles’ composure on the ball and his ability to dictate play with his passing have been standout features of his game, reminiscent of Phillips’ style of play. Given Tottenham’s previous interest in Phillips and their ongoing pursuit of promising young talents, it’s understandable that they would be keen on acquiring Pickles for their squad.
As the 16-year-old continues to develop and showcase his potential, it’s likely that more clubs will join the race for his signature. His presence in Leeds’ youth setup is a testament to their commitment to nurturing young talent, and it will be interesting to see where his future lies as he progresses in his career.
For Tottenham, who have been making significant strides in their gameplay in recent months, securing a talent like Pickles could be a strategic move to bolster their squad and enhance their chances of success. With a strong focus on developing young players and building for the future, Pickles could fit well into Tottenham’s plans as they continue their upward trajectory.
Why Tottenham should consider Ollie Pickles:
Further, there is also the possibility that Leeds might fast track Pickles to their first team, preventing him from leaving for Premier League clubs like Newcastle, and of course, Tottenham. After all, they have already fast tracked the progress of another youngster- Archie Gray this season.
He undoubtedly will be an asset to the club on the field. TalkSport has claimed that Newcastle and Tottenham are keeping tabs on the player while drawing up transfer tables. He is on the radar, and if Pickles wants to climb the ladder of success, he will be smart enough to choose a Premier League club which is so keen on having him.
Moreover, taking Kalvin Phillips as a yardstick is good news. Hopefully, his career does not eventually peter off like it did for the Manchester City star currently on loan at West Ham United.
