Spurs were rumored to be interested in a midfield player in January, and Jamie Carragher has since praised his ability.
Given his reputation for developing young players, Ange Postecoglou appeared to be seeing a lot of high-potential prospects for the Spurs.
Considering Barcelona’s interest, Lucas Bergvall’s signing on deadline day was a major coup for the team.
However, it would be surprising if Postecoglou and Daniel Levy’s efforts to entice the brightest young talent to North London ended there.
Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton, a youngster who has been consistently showcasing how high his potential is, is a name that is now frequently brought up when discussing the summer.
Having said that, Adam Wharton was rumored to be interested in a trade from Spurs before he signed a £22 million contract to join Crystal Palace in January.
And last week, Jamie Carragher expressed how delighted he was with Wharton in the Premier League during his speech on Monday week Football.
Carragher stated that the player who was linked to Tottenham has blended in well at Palace and that people would be talking a lot about him in the future.
Jamie Carragher believes Adam Wharton, who is linked to Tottenham, has a lot of promise.
Wharton’s performance against Chelsea especially pleased Carragher, who expressed excitement for Wharton’s future should Palace advance this season.
“I was impressed with him,” he remarked. He’s a young player, so this is another step.
“I thought he had a very promising performance in the game against Chelsea, which bodes well for Crystal Palace moving forward.
“I believe he is a player we will be talking about a lot in the future if Palace can stay in the Premier League.”
Naturally, Tottenham might feel that they let this one get away, especially considering the potential that Carragher has correctly highlighted.
In any case, it appears like Spurs are making progress in identifying talent, even though we may never know how interested they were in signing Wharton.
And given the solid financial situation Tottenham is expected to be in for the upcoming summer, that is encouraging.
