Jamie Donley could now get his big break at Tottenham Hotspur as Thomas Frank eyes young star for a potential first-team role.
Tottenham Hotspur have several youngsters who would be gunning for a spot in the first team next season under Thomas Frank.
In fact, last season’s breakthrough talent, Mikey Moore, has already stated that he is looking to impress Tottenham’s new head coach, Thomas Frank.
Luka Vuskovic, who impressed at Westerlo where he scored seven goals in the Belgian league and earned his first-ever Croatian senior call-up in the international break, would also fancy his chances of getting into the first-team squad.

Of course, there is every chance that these youngsters would be handed a chance to impress, at least during pre-season, before the season starts.
However, TBR Football have now shared an update on one Tottenham youngster who looks set to be involved in the club’s first-team squad.
According to the publication, Jamie Donley, 20, who scored eight goals and got ten assists in the league – more than any other player in the division – is set to be involved in Thomas Frank’s plans for the first team.
MORE SPURS STORIES
The outlet’s chief correspondent claims that while Donley could be loaned out once more, he is one to keep an eye on, as he will be handed a chance to impress at Spurs during pre-season.
Graeme Bailey said: “There are a few youngsters who I think they will look at. The one youngster I am hearing at Tottenham to keep an eye on is Jamie Donley.
“Although he was on late, I think there is a real feeling amongst some at Spurs that he could really make a step up next season. Do not rule out him being involved in Frank’s first-team squad next season.
“Everyone thinks he is going out on loan, and he probably will, but I am being told do not rule out Donley getting a look, especially in pre-season. If he does well, there might be an opportunity for him.”

Indeed, Donley has impressed during his loan spell in League One, as he played a crucial role for Leyton Orient, leading them to promotion, although they lost to Charlton at Wembley.
For a player who managed 18 goal contributions after only his first taste of senior football, it is clear that the 20-year-old is a top talent.
