Impressive Tottenham loanee finish in the PFA Championship Team of the Year
Tottenham youngster Ashley Phillips is performing well on loan at Stoke City
Ashley Phillips left Tottenham Hotspur to join Championship club Stoke City on a season-long loan at the start of August.
The teenager struggled for game time initially upon his arrival at the Bet365 Stadium. This would have then concerned the chiefs at the Hotspur Way and head coach Ange Postecoglou. However, the defender has since turned things around, making four consecutive starts in the Championship.
Ashley Phillips has established himself as a regular at the back under new manager Narcis Pelach. He has delivered some fine performances, helping Stoke City climb to 13th in the table.
John Wenham—the owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose—has praised Phillips for working his way back into the Stoke side. He is optimistic that the young defender could still make it to the PFA Championship Team of the Year.
“He’s now back in the Stoke side as a regular,” John Wenham exclusively told Tottenham News.
“That was a really important first step. From this point forward, it is just about continuous game time for Phillips. I really wanted this loan to be one where he finishes with 40 appearances and perhaps even gets himself into the PFA Championship Team of the Year.
