Which Lower League Players Could Tottenham Sign in January?
Ben Chilwell, Left-back
Age: 19
Current Club: Huddersfield Town (League Two)
Current season (all competitions):
- Leicester City’s U-21: 7 appearances, 1 goal, 1 assist, 628 minutes
- Huddersfield Town: 5 appearances, 0 goals, 0 assists, 450 minutes
- Combined stats: 12 appearances, 1 goal, 1 assist, 1,078 minutes
Spurs players at his position: Ben Davies, Danny Rose
Currently, Ben Chilwell will be wrapping up his loan spell with Huddersfield Town on January 3rd and returning to Leicester City. A possible move could happen and with Mauricio Pochettino looking for young English players, Chilwell might be one of them and placed into Spurs’ youth academy or go straight into the 25-man squad.
Even though Ben Davies and Danny Rose are already on the squad, that hasn’t stopped Pochettino from identifying the left-back position as a place to improve when given the chance. Rose, while only 25-years-old will soon be reaching his prime and although Davies is 22, now would be a good time to invest more in youth at left-back.
However, with the Foxes’ current form this season, it would look unlikely that they’ll be letting any players go especially a youth prospect who is still 19-years-old.
