Tottenham Hotspur have a plethora of young players in their ranks at White Hart Lane, and with the blessing of having ample potential stars on the roster, let’s bring that added responsibility to ensure that each of them is taking strides in their game, and one of the players that Daniel Levy has to look into is centre-back Ashley Phillips, who has been struggling to gain minutes under his belt in his loan spell at Stoke City.

Phillips has featured only twice in the England second tier since moving to Stoke in a loan move in August, and Wenham argues that the fact that the 19-year-old spends regular time with the Three Lions Under-20 camp means he needs to remain a regular wherever he plays.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, Wenham said:

“For Phillips, it was another disappointing weekend. He has spent a lot of time on the bench this season. However, when he went away with the England Under-20s, he played every game for them.

“Therefore, it is concerning that he isn’t starting regularly for Stoke at the moment.”
