Well then he’s really I assume an U23 signing is he?
Hobo

Yes but with potential to develop more quickly than others.

similar to Rus I guess? Wasn’t he signed from a premier league club?

Just for some context and temper expectations, he trained with the Spurs first team in an international break when a lot of their players were away.
From what I can see he never made a squad for them

Spurs wonderkid Lusala grew up by training ground & could replace Trippier
HE’S certainly come at the right time. With the £25m sale of Kieran Trippier to Atletico Madrid and the inconsistent form of Serge Aurier, Tottenham are struggling to fill the right back slot…

Intresting take on the potential of our new signing a few years ago. Hopefully our coaching team can get the best out of him.

He looks miserable and that makes me like him even more. Would fit in brilliantly on this forum.

Surely it's the Blondie song "Denis"
Dermi, Dermi, like a cat he purrs
Dermi, Dermi, he didn't play for Spurs

Yes, or....
And when he runs, we will win the game
His tight buns, they drive me insane
Dermi, Dermi, we're so in love with you, oh oh.

Is there any chance Lusala could push for a first team squad place next season? considering he was supposedly classed as a wonder kid at Spurs.

Will probably be released around this time next year then?

Tristen Batanwi, Rus and Justin Obikwu are names i would expect to see with the 1st team come preseason. Good experience for them and gove MR an idea on what they need to do to make the step up.

The Tottenham support love to sing about players that are one of their own and Lusala, a tenacious and technically polished right-back, certainly has a particular connection, having attended St Ignatius college, which is a stone’s throw from the club’s training ground. The Edmonton boy was at school last season when he was plunged into his debut for the under-18s against Chelsea and, over the summer, he was one of two players from his year group that the club took to the well-regarded Oberndorf under-19 pre-season tournament in Germany. Capped at youth level by England, Lusala previously played for Brentford. David Hytner
October 2020 update He has arguably been Tottenham Under-18s best player this year, alongside Max Robson and Marqes Muir. Started all bar one game in the U18 Premier League and played four of the six Uefa youth league ties.
October 2021 update Badly hit by injury over the last 12 months and has missed a lot of football. Hopes remain high for him.
September 2022 update Suffered another injury-hit season and released upon the expiry of his contract. Signed a two-year deal at Coventry in July.

Unsure if Obikwu has been retained, afaik he was on a third year scholarship which makes him 19 but hasn’t been announced as signing pro contract

Its the Telegraph, but they seem to think he’s still here:
When I looked for my Contracts thread I couldn’t find a definitive answer anywhere so guessed 2024 as he’s here in 21/22 as a scholarship application: https://www.thefa.com/-/media/files...ries/intermediary-transactions-2021-2022.ashx
I assumed that would be the start of a three year scholarship.

He does but in the games I seen didn’t stand out good or bad (and we had a lot of younger players playing last year)

Watched him at Nuneaton and he was one of the worst on the pitch and Nuneaton had some strange trialists playing, when subbed he had a good telling off from the manager as he seemed to be unhappy with it.
