‘Versatile’ 22 year-old Tottenham player not included in 25-man Premier League squad

Tottenham Hotspur have announced their Premier League squad of 25, with one player missing out.

Tottenham confirmed the 25-man roster earlier today, and it included all of the expected names. Unfortunately, one player over the age of 21 was not chosen.

Brooklyn Lyons- a 22-year-old defender-Foster was not selected for the team, and due to his age, he will not be able to play in the Premier League this season.

Football.The player, who is currently in the Spurs academy, was described as’versatile’ by London journalist Alasdair Gold.

Brooklyn Lyons-Foster not in Spurs 25-man squad

This season, Lyons-Foster has already featured four times for the Spurs academy so the defender is clearly someone who the club rate highly.

Despite this, his name was not put down in Spurs’ 25-man squad for this season. This may upset the player but all he can do for now is bide his time and hopefully impress whilst playing for the academy side.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has had an impressive start to the season with the squad he currently possesses and perhaps feels like he doesn’t need the 22 year-old defender this season.

It looks like Lyons-Foster will have a lot to do to impress the manager. With him already 22 years-old he may have missed out on his chance to be a consistent player in the first-team.

With Spurs signing some top players in the summer, including defender Micky van de Ven, there have an abundance of talent in the same position as Lyons-Foster.

With the academy player falling down the pecking order he may have to find a move in the future if he wants to play consistent senior football.
