Tottenham have enjoyed a busy Friday with three new signings being confirmed.
After confirming the arrival of Richarlison, which could reach £60million, the youth ranks were then boosted by defender Tyrell Ashcroft and goalkeeper Josh Keeley.
Ashcroft, 17, comes from Reading where he largely played for the Under-23s but also made four senior appearances in the Championship for the club. He played at both right-back and in defensive midfield.
Keeley, as reported by Standard Sport last month, is a Republic of Ireland Under-19 keeper. The teenager made his senior debut for Irish side St Patrick’s Athletic in the FAI Cup in July last year before a sole senior league start against Finn Harps in November.
A club statement read: "We are pleased to confirm the additions of Tyrell Ashcroft and Josh Keeley to our Development Squad ahead of the start of the new season.
"Versatile defender Tyrell, who turns 18 later this month, arrives from Reading, where he spent the majority of last season playing in their Under-23s while also making four senior appearances in the Championship.
"Republic of Ireland youth international goalkeeper Josh, 19, joins from St Patrick’s Athletic, where he won league titles at Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19 levels and stepped up to make two senior appearances. During his time at the Dublin-based side, he was coached by Patrick Jennings, son of our legendary former goalkeeper and current Academy Goalkeeping Consultant Pat Jennings.
We are pleased to confirm the additions of Tyrell Ashcroft and Josh Keeley to our Development Squad ahead of the start of the new season.
