Ange Postecoglou has found new Tottenham undroppable quicker than expected

The one positive to come out of this miserable Tottenham season - apart from a potential Europa League triumph - is the experience the young players at the club will get under their belts.

Teenagers Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have certainly got more game time this season than either will have expected when they arrived at the club in the summer. Injuries have forced Ange Postecoglou 's hand somewhat, but the duo will be so much better for the experience of this season.

They are not the only ones. Wilson Odobert, after his own injury troubles, looks set to play an important role between now and the end of the season too. There is also hope that Mathys Tel can come to the party and prove his worth to the Australian head coach and the supporters ahead of signing permanently in the summer.

Of those four teenagers playing a big role in N17, Bergvall is the one who has stood out and shone brightest - although that is not to do a disservice to gray, who, playing out of position, has performed admirably. Bergvall though is fast becoming one of the first names on the Postecoglou teamsheet.

In a season of disappointment, the teenager has outshone more senior players in the Tottenham dressing room. He has never shied away from the challenge in front of him, standing up to be counted whenever called upon.

Speaking on the Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast this week I said: "What a player. What a player this boy is turning out to be.

"He's first choice in the midfield at the minute, he's got to be the first name in that midfield, he just gives everything, every single week, 100%, yes he might make a few fouls, but that's what you expect from a central midfield player, so good on the ball, always wants it, so good on the turn, can play through the lines, wants to get forward, just unbelievable.

"You can't take away what he's been doing in the last few weeks and months in the absence of senior players, he's just been incredible and deserves his spot and even with players coming back shouldn't be dropped for anyone."

If there is anything to get Spurs fans excited about after this dreadful season it's Bergvall and his promise. Signed for just £8.5million from Djurgarden, every bit of that deal is looking a steal, and a major coup as well, considering Spurs beat Barcelona to his signature.

He is in his first season in a top-five European league and he's still a teenager. There is so much more to come from the young midfielder and he has the confidence and the quality to be a mainstay of that Tottenham midfield for years to come.

His form will certainly make Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr sit up and take notice and if Bergvall takes one spot in the midfield and either James Maddison or Dejan Kulusevski play in the ten, there's only one position left...
