Tottenham Youth skipper George Abbott has put pen to paper on a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2027.
Official report here. Abbott’s journey with Spurs began at the age of eight when he first donned the Lilywhite jersey in the Under-8s. Since then, he has been a mainstay in the club’s academy sides, showcasing his skills and versatility on the pitch. Primarily operating as a central defensive midfielder for the Under-21s, Abbott has proven himself to be a valuable asset in various positions.
