The 16-year-old has been on fire for Tottenham’s academy this season, and is one of the latest striker talents to emerge at Hotspur Way.

His latest performance for the Under-18s proves that he is a massive talent and one to keep an eye on in the future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Oliver Boast scores a hat-trick for Tottenham U18

Oliver Boast netted an impressive hat-trick for Tottenham Hotspur’s U18 team against Birmingham City on Saturday afternoon.

The striker has now taken his tally to 11 goals in 18 Premier League U18 appearances this season following his move to North London.

The teenager joined Tottenham for just £1.3 million in the summer from Leeds and is quickly becoming one of the club’s most exciting talents.

Tottenham ended up winning 4-1 against Birmingham to move top of the table in the Premier League U18, ahead of Chelsea.

The North London club now have a plethora of young strikers at the club, also including James Wilson, Mason Melia and Will Lankshear.

Relegation could absolutely decimate this squad! 😫

Who do you think would be the first out of the door in the summer?

Melia is yet to make an appearance for the club since arriving in January, but Wilson has already been scoring goals for the under-21s.

The Scottish youth international has two goals in four games in the Premier League 2, having arrived from Hearts during the January window.

Will Lankshear could be Tottenham’s Richarlison replacement

If Tottenham were to be relegated to the Championship, one of the biggest beneficiaries from the demotion would be Lankshear.

The 19-year-old could be Tottenham’s Richarlison replacement in the division, having already proved his goal-scoring prowess at that level.

The striker has two goals in his last two matches for Oxford United, who are fighting to avoid relegation.

Richarlison and Dominic Solanke would almost certainly leave if Spurs are relegated, and he could be the ideal replacement for the pair.
