Two Players Of Nigerian Descent Named In Spurs USA Tour Squad, Onomah Shock Omission
Published: July 22, 2018Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has included two players of Nigerian descent on his roster for the tour of the United States.
England U17 World Cup-winning defender Timothy Eyoma and defensive midfielder Luke Amos have been handed an opportunity to aim for a first-team spot in the new season, with both youngsters named in the traveling party.
England U21 star Josh Onomah was a notable omission, which more or less confirms that the attacking midfielder is set to be loaned out or sold before the close of the summer transfer window.
Amos making the squad list shouldn't raise any eyebrows as he trained with the first-teamers in the days leading up to their trip to America.
The 21-year-old, who has been on the books of Spurs for twelve years, will fancy his own chances of breaking into the first team in the forthcoming season following successful loan spells at Southend United and Stevenage.
Eyoma appeared for the London club in the U18 Premier League, Premier League 2, UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup last season.
Tottenham Hotspur will tackle Roma (July 26), Barcelona (July 29) and AC Milan (August 1) in International Champions Cup matches in the United States.
