The highly rated 17 year old forward officially committed his long term future to the club after finding the net 14 times this season.
Securing top youth prospects is just as crucial as massive summer signings, and with the highly anticipated World Cup dominating the news cycle, the North Londoners are quietly securing their domestic future. Manager Roberto De Zerbi knows how important a thriving academy is for success, and now the club has delivered brilliant news regarding a genuine prodigy.
Boast offers tactical versatility by playing comfortably at centre forward or out on the right wing. He established himself as a regular for the youth squad during the recently concluded campaign. The prospect featured in all but one domestic league game this season. He repaid that faith by scoring 14 goals.
Oliver Boast has proven his worth with an incredible goalscoring record this year
That brilliant domestic tally included a memorable hat trick away at Birmingham City in March. His lethal finishing translated perfectly to intense knockout football. The forward added three more goals during a brilliant run to the cup semi finals. This took his overall tally to an impressive 17 goals across all competitions.
The talented prospect also represents the England under 17 national team on the international stage. Boast gained vital European experience by making four appearances in the UEFA Youth League campaign. Tottenham Hotspur released a formal statement on the official website confirming the news today: “We are delighted to announce that Oliver Boast has signed his first professional contract.”
Locking down such a prolific finisher prevents rival clubs from snatching away a potential superstar. The N17 faithful will definitely track his exciting development closely when academy football resumes. De Zerbi will undoubtedly keep tabs on his progress – a clear pathway to the senior squad exists for those willing to grab the opportunity.
