When Ange Postecoglou was named Tottenham head coach in June, he was mandated with not only improving the club's style and culture but re-establishing the pathway from academy to first team.
Postecoglou has already shown a willingness to use young players - thrusting Destiny Udogie, 20, and Pape Sarr, 21, straight into the side - and he will hope to blood talent from the academy in the months and years ahead.
So who are the best young talents currently at Spurs? Here, Standard Sport assesses the young stars for whom there are high hopes.
Jamie Donley
Forward, 18
Donley is a technical forward who has earned lofty comparisons with Harry Kane, in part due to his habit of drifting between the No9 and No10 positions.
The 18-year-old is enjoying a stellar season and has already been on the bench for the Premier League games against Liverpool and Wolves, raising the prospect that he could soon make a senior debut - particularly given Spurs' mounting injury list.
He was named the Premier League 2's player of the month for October and already boasts six goals and 11 assists from just 11 appearances this term, including three in the EFL Trophy.
Donley regularly trains with the first team squad and impressed Postecoglou, although the Australian has said the teenager has "a long way to go" and suggested a loan move is likely to be the next step in his development.
Alfie Dorrington
Defender, 18
On the bench for the defeat at Wolves at the weekend, the 18-year-old is an impressive ball-playing centre-back who frequently trains with the first team.
He is a regular for the Under-21s this season and was a pivotal part in the club's successes last term in the Premier League Cup at both U17 and U18 level.
In the U18s final against Aston Villa, Dorrington ran from his own six-yard box to set up Donley's goal in a clip which was widely shared by excited Spurs fans on social media.
Many supporters would like to see him blooded in the first team soon, although the teenager is currently behind summer signing Ashley Phillips, also 18, in the pecking order and, like Donley, may be sent on loan before he is given a chance for the seniors.
Mikey Moore
Forward, 16
The silky forward is still just 16 but was a key part of the club's Premier League Cup double last season, scoring twice in a 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest in the U17 final to really outline his credentials as the next big thing at Spurs.
Later that month, Moore made his debut for the U21 side aged just 15, becoming the youngest player in the modern era to appear for Spurs at that level.
He signed a new contract in June, considered a major coup for Spurs given the interest from a host of rivals in luring Moore away from his boyhood side, where he has been since the age of seven.
