Tottenham have landed their ‘next Harry Kane’ after what expert has spotted at Hotspur Way
Will Lankshear may be the closest thing Tottenham currently have to Harry Kane in their academy.
That is according to Spurs expert John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Lankshear, 17, signed for Tottenham from Sheffield United on 31 August, signing a deal until 2025.
Wenham has been blown away by what he has seen from the striker so far.
“I believe Will has four in four in the Under-18s league,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“Then one in the youth Champions League and one in the cup so that is six in 10 games. It is a very, very good start for a 17-year-old who has only just arrived from Sheffield United.
“He is settling back into a category 1 academy. Do you know what I’ve noticed, I’ve been really impressed with how he just finishes his chances.
“There are no mistakes, He doesn’t have any caveats so his game so far but he is only 17 and I think he is a complete finisher at the moment.
“But, if in time we can see him improve his passing levels then maybe we can look at him as a Harry Kane-lite or something like that.
“At the moment though, he looks like a complete out-and-out finisher and he had made a phenomenal start to his life at Tottenham.”
Lankshear signed for Tottenham from Sheffield United on 31 August, signing a deal until 2025.
Sky reporter Lyall Thomas reported on 26 August, that Spurs were set to pay a £2million fee to Sheffield United for the 17-year-old striker.
