Although Yago Santiago, a young player for Tottenham Hotspur, has had a fantastic season thus far, he must now go out on loan.
There were eight candidates for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award, including Santiago.
Jamie Donley, a 20-year-old Tottenham attacker, was also a nominee.
In recent years, Tottenham has not had a great deal of success developing young players.
Only Oliver Skipp is an academy graduate in Ange Postecoglou’s first team roster.
That excludes goalkeepers Alfie Whiteman and Brandon Austin, who are considerably lower on the hierarchy.
If Tottenham plays their cards well, they could produce a golden generation of youthful talent.
Pape Matar Sarr and Destiny Udogie, who are both 20 years old, did not attend the academy but have already made a name for themselves on the squad.
The next guys that potentially make it onto the senior team seem to be Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett.
It might be time for Yago Santiago to join them now that they have both moved on loan from Tottenham.
Even though the 20-year-old winger had previously been listed on the Spurs bench, he has yet to make his senior debut for any club.
The young Spaniard may need to leave the team in order to gain some essential first-team experience.
TBR Opinion: Santiago should immediately go on loan from Tottenham.
After four games, Tottenham’s Under-21 team currently leads Premier League 2.
Only Fulham, a competitor from London, has also won its opening four games this year.
Alfie Dorrington, a defender who plays alongside Brooklyn Lyons-Foster and is highly regarded by Postecoglou, is one of the outstanding young players for Spurs.
Donley, Jude Soonsup-Bell, and Will Lankshear are more options for Tottenham to use as a center forward.
Santiago, who plays wide for the Under-21s, has already scored four goals and provided one assist.
Although Santiago had previously participated in first-team training with Tottenham, a loan move is currently Santiago’s best option.
To advance in his career, he will need to leave the club and demonstrate that he is talented enough to play senior football.
He has a lot of competition to move up into Tottenham’s first team, so if he plans to leave the club permanently soon, he must demonstrate that he is capable of playing at a respectable level.
