5 players Tottenham Hotspur should sell this summer

#4 Josh Onomah

Josh Onomah

Josh Onomah was once considered to be the next big thing out of Tottenham's youth academy, and while he's done reasonably well, he's still nowhere near the standard he was predicted to reach by this point.

After failing to break into the starting eleven for a couple of years, Onomah was finally sent out on loan to Aston Villa in the Championship. He had a successful loan spell which saw him feature 34 times for the Villains, scoring four and assisting three. Aston Villa went on to reach the Championship Play-Off Finals, which if they had won would mean promotion to the Premier League, but lost out to Fulham.

It's clear that Onomah thrives at Championship level, which might be of slight concern to Spurs, as they had aimed for him to be a backup option to the first team by now. He is still only 21 years old, which means he has plenty of time to develop and improve, but real youth talents would be fighting for a spot in the first team by this stage.

Where might Josh Onomah go?

Aston Villa would be the best option for Josh Onomah's future, but with the club strapped financially due to issues surrounding Financial Fair Play regulations, he might need to look elsewhere. There are plenty of clubs in the Championship that would take Onomah onboard, but it's unlikely that the 21-year-old will be willing to leave on a permanent deal as he would prefer to fight for his place. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement before he would even be considered for a starting eleven spot.
