Mauricio Pochettino has a history of working well with young players, and it will be interesting to see how Etete progresses in the Tottenham system next season.
The youngster played senior games for Notts County last time around, and should he impress for the youth team at Tottenham, there could be some game time for the 17-year-old.

Etete has a long way to go before he can think of starting for us regularly. However, Dele Alli is the perfect example regarding how a lower league player can make it big at Tottenham under Pochettino.
