Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has a decision to make with Mikey Moore this summer.
The Dane has recently been appointed as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou in North London, ready to take charge of his first transfer window.
This will see the former Brentford man have a telling impact on the squad, with several incoming and outgoing deals expected.
One deal which has already been mooted is the loan departure of Moore, but now Frank could hold off making a decision until later in the summer.
Moore loan to West Brom on ice at Tottenham
There is no doubt that the 17-year-old is one of the most talented assets available in N17, but he needs minutes to realise his potential.

That has seen the England under-19 international linked with a temporary switch to the Baggies in the Championship for the upcoming campaign.
With Ryan Mason moving to West Brom, Moore could be set to join the ex-Spurs coach in the Midlands to gain positive experience in senior football.
As positive as this could prove to be, there is now every chance that a move is delayed to give the new regime a chance to assess his impact.
Former Brentford manager Martin Allen believes Frank could be keen to keep hold of the young winger, ready for another busy campaign of European and domestic action.
“He’s a good player, let’s be honest,” Allen exclusively told Tottenham News.
“Will Thomas Frank see him as a cup player and as a substitute for the last 20 minutes of games to have an impact? Is he able to do that?
“Is he able to start and have an influence on lesser teams?
“Would it be better for him to go on loan to West Brom and play 30, 35 games? Then he can come back to Tottenham to start next season.
“With the amount of games to play, I would imagine Tottenham will want to keep hold of every player they can.
“When you take on European matches, it’s a whole new schedule, very demanding, and those clubs need every player they can get their hands on.“
Moore has point to prove at Tottenham
There is no shortage of attacking talent available at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has made life difficult for the teenager.
The addition of Mathys Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich is only likely to make this worse moving into the new campaign.
Despite this, there is every chance that Frank looks to get the best of Moore in N17 moving forward, to help build him up in senior football.
This could represent a huge blow for Mason at West Brom, but at the end of the day, Spurs have to do what is best for their interests this summer.
