There hasn’t been much to celebrate for Tottenham Hotspur fans this season.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are 14th in the Premier League and crashed out of both the FA Cup and League Cup in the space of just four days last week.

However, while it’s easy to focus on the doom and gloom, there have been some positives, such as the emergence of Mikey Moore and the performances of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.

Moreover, academy gem Jamie Donley has stepped up on loan, although the club already has another youngster in the academy who could be even better.

Donley's impressive season

Following his stellar campaign with the youth sides last season, in which he racked up an impressive haul of eight goals and 17 assists in 27 games, Donley was sent on his first loan move to League One side Leyton Orient this term.

Things got off to a relatively slow start in east London for the 20-year-old, as while he provided his first assist in an FA Cup tie in early November, he didn’t produce his first goal involvement in the league until the 21st of December, but since then he’s been on fire.

In all, the “sensational” gem, as dubbed by talent scout Kulig, has scored five goals and provided six assists in 32 appearances for The O’s, totalling 2193 minutes, which means he’s averaging a goal involvement every 2.81 games, or every 199.36 minutes.

Moreover, he might feel like he should have another goal to his name this season, as his incredible strike from practically the halfway line caused Stefan Ortega to score an own goal in the game against Manchester City in the FA Cup on the weekend.

Overall, in Donley, it would appear as if Spurs have another exciting prospect on their hands.

However, the talent conveyor belt at Hotspur Way seems to be never-ending, as there is another prospect currently in the academy who could be an even bigger talent.

In The Pipeline

The Spurs prospect more exciting than Donley

While the likes of Moore and even Will Lankshear have already made their debuts for the first team and look like they could go on to be brilliant players, the academy gem who could be a bigger talent than Donley is yet to play even a minute of first-team football.

Lucá Williams-Barnett has taken the academy by storm over the last year, so much so that while he hasn’t made it onto the pitch, he has made it onto the first-team bench a few times, which for a player who only turned 16 in October is incredible.

It’s not hard to understand why the club might want to fast-track his development when you take a look at his recent form, though.

For example, in just 13 appearances this season, totalling 1042 minutes, the teenage sensation, who respected football analyst Ben Mattinson has described as someone “to keep an eye on” going forward, has scored 14 goals and provided eight assists.

That means the dynamic “cheat code,” as described by academy expert and pundit John Wenham, is averaging 1.69 goal involvements every game, or in other words, a goal involvement every 47.36 minutes, which is frankly absurd.

Ultimately, it’s obviously too soon for Postecoglou to start using Williams-Barnett on a regular basis for the first team. Still, it might make sense to give him some minutes sooner rather than later, as he looks like he could be a future superstar for Spurs.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Raphinha's father is of Italian descent and in 2020 he had yet to make his Brazil bow. As a result, the coaching staff of Italy's national team attempted to woo him into wearing the famous Azzurri jersey of the Selecao's famous yellow; the Barca star says he was willing to do so, but his passport did not arrive. Italy won the tournament without him, beating England on penalties in the final.

• WHAT RAPHINHA SAID

  Raphinha told Isabela Pagliari: “I was close to accepting the call-up from the Italian national team. I was supposed to go to the European Championship that they won in 2020. I was practically ready to go. Luckily, the passport didn’t arrive. At that time, the people from the Italian national team were calling me. Jorginho was calling me constantly.

  "The Italian coaching staff had an incredible project for me, something that really caught my attention. But at the same time, deep down, I still had a little hope of being able to wear the Brazil jersey. And luckily, my Italian passport didn’t arrive on time! I am thankful every day that I can come back to my nation and be with my compatriots. This is something I could not trade for all the goals in the world!"

Former Netherlands head coach on lookout for next role after suffering cardiac arrest in April

Matt Roller04-Nov-2022Ryan Campbell, the former Netherlands coach, is among the contenders for the vacant head coach role at Durham, ESPNcricinfo understands.Campbell was put in an induced coma in April after going into cardiac arrest and Netherlands appointed Ryan Cook, the South African, as head coach while Campbell recovered. He has recently returned to the national set-up and has been acting as a consultant during their T20 World Cup campaign.Related

Durham recently advertised for a new head coach after James Franklin left the club at the end of the 2022 season, with applications due to close on November 11. Campbell, 50, is understood to be interested in the job and spent several years alongside Durham’s director of cricket Marcus North during his playing days for Western Australia.Campbell recently told ESPNcricinfo that with his family settled in the Netherlands he could look for opportunities in the UK. “My family is very settled in Europe. The kids are in school. We’ll only move if there is something set in stone,” he said. “The romantic in me would be keen to coach in Australia but it’s tough to get a job there. If it means in the UK or somewhere else, so be it.”Neil Killeen, Durham’s assistant coach and bowling coach, is another potential candidate, and is due to travel to the UAE with England Lions this weekend. Along with Jon Lewis, the ECB’s pace-bowling coach, Killeen will oversee the seamers on the tour – including Matthew Potts, with whom he has worked closely at Durham.Steve Harmison, the former England fast bowler, spent the final weeks of last season with Durham as a “coaching mentor” but is not believed to be a contender for the head coach role. Instead, he is a candidate for the vacancy as England’s national selector, which remains unfilled after being advertised two months ago.

As they continue to fight for their place in the Championship, Stoke City have reportedly sent scouts to watch a young striker in action ahead of a potential summer swoop.

Stoke transfer news

The Potters are walking a fine line in England’s second tier, sitting just six points clear of the dropzone albeit with one game in hand on the bottom three. Recent form does at least make for positive reading, however, with a 3-1 victory over fellow strugglers Swansea City last time out giving them some much-needed breathing room.

Up against Norwich City this weekend in what was once a Premier League fixture, Mark Robins will be desperate to see his side once again pick up all three points and take another key step towards safety.

Meanwhile, those at the Bet365 Stadium have also seemingly commenced their search for summer reinforcements. In what will be their first full season with Robins in charge, they’ll hope to see the former Coventry City boss take Stoke back into the top half and may even hand him a future star in pursuit of that.

According to the East Anglian Daily Times, Stoke have now sent scouts to watch Charlie Warren and are among a handful of EFL clubs now plotting a move to sign the Felixtowe & Walton forward.

Still just 20 years old, Warren has been one of the standout players in the Isthmian League North Division so far this season – scoring 27 goals in all competitions and taking his side top of the league on goal difference.

Now, thanks to his form, he could swap the fourth step of non-league football for the chance to play in the Championship if Stoke come calling.

"Great" Warren could make sensational leap

We’ve seen the likes of Ollie Tanner make the jump from non-league football to the Championship in recent years to great success, swapping Lewes for Cardiff City last summer. Now, Warren could become the latest to make a sensational, but deserved leap into the EFL.

When asked about the interest in his forward, Felixtowe & Walton manager Stuart Boardley was full of praise for Warren – telling reporters: “Charlie’s had a lot of interest from various EFL clubs. He’s under contract with us, but we won’t stand in the way of him fulfilling his potential.

He’s really good technically and physically very able. He’s turned into a man over the past couple of years and this season has been his big break out. He’s been incredible for us, is a great lad and, even though we’ve not received any concrete offers yet, we’re resigned to losing him.

“I’ve got no doubt he’ll go on to have a good professional career. My only surprise is that none of the local clubs – Ipswich, Colchester, Norwich, Cambridge – haven’t had a look.”

Whether it’s at Stoke or elsewhere, Warren looks destined to complete quite the step from non-league all the way to the EFL this summer.
