Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips ready for Premier League loan next season
John Wenham thinks Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips will be ready for a Premier League loan next season.
The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose doesn’t think a third consecutive Championship loan makes sense for the 19-year-old.
Phillips is currently playing his football with Stoke City, and after a slow start to life at the bet365 Stadium, he is beginning to make quite the impression.
As a result, Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – wants to see the centre-back moved up a division next year.
“I think Phillips will be ready for a Premier League loan next season,” Wenham said.
“Hopefully the rest of this loan goes well for Phillips. If it does, I don’t see the point in him doing a third loan in the Championship.
Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips to join Premier League club on loan?
Phillips started as Stoke kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 Championship win away at Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday (6 November).
This was the centre-back’s fourth consecutive start for the Potters. Therefore, it is clear that Phillips is slowly earning the trust of Stoke boss Narcís Pèlach.
As a result, Ange Postecoglou will be delighted.
