In the latest episode of “Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham,” Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest discuss the club’s newest developments.
Tottenham’s New Striker
Tottenham Hotspur have secured their second signing of the summer with the acquisition of 16-year-old striker George Feeney. The young talent is set to join the club next week, with hopes of progressing from the academy to Ange Postecoglou’s first team.
Competition for Feeney
Reported by football.london, Tottenham fended off competition from Brighton, Brentford, West Ham, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest to sign Feeney from Glentoran. The deal includes add-ons to benefit his Northern Irish club in the future.
Academy Path
Feeney, son of former Bournemouth, Luton, and Northern Ireland striker Warren Feeney, will begin his journey at Hotspur Way in the U18 side under Stuart Lewis. He will also work with academy coaches Bradley Allen and Jermain Defoe, who played alongside his father, aiming to eventually reach the first team.
International Prospects
Born in Newport, Feeney is the focus of an international tug-of-war between Wales and Northern Ireland, having played for both at the U16 level and representing Northern Ireland in U17 matches.
In their podcast, Gold and Guest not only covered Feeney’s signing but also discussed Tottenham’s ongoing search for a first-team striker for Postecoglou and various other club-related topics.
