The midfielder has been with us since the age of eight and is about to begin his second season as a full-time player.
Congrats, Rio!
A midfielder for the future?
This deal should motivate Kyerematen to work harder to make it to the first team. A young player, he has huge potential in him.
His figures from last season earned him his first contract and he could turn out to be an important player for Spurs in the UEFA Youth League. The teenager could also m progress to the U-23 development squad.
Apart from this, the teenager is also an England U-17 international. Kyerematen already plays above the level of his counterparts and has the potential to become a first-team player someday.
No doubt the youngster already has aspirations to play in the first team. Should he continue such good form and keep up with his development, Antonio Conte could call him up to be part of the bench for a cup game and he could also maybe make his senior debut this season.
