Spurs to trial midfielder

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR have handed a second trial to South African midfielder Masibusane Zongo.

The 19-year-old currently plays his football for SuperSport United and spent time training with Spurs last month.

Zongo told Football365.co.za: “They (Spurs) have invited me for a second trial. The first time I was there for a week and I think it will be another week this time around.

“I’m going back to Tottenham some time next week. The only thing I’m waiting for right now is my visa. They will basically take another look at me. For now it looks like they are really impressed because (otherwise) they couldn’t have bothered to invite me for a second trial. If they sign me, it would probably be for their second team but you never know what can happen, because I trained with their first team,”

    Am I the only one to wonder who he was training with at Spurs last month? All the players were on holiday.

    don’t really understand your point JD only Hoddle came through the spurs ranks so it would appear that we have a shocking record for developing players and it doesn’t look like that will change especially since we have nicked all the players, you mention, off other clubs!!

    JD you’re an idiot. Dos Santos and Taarabt have not had a chance. They are both barely 20. Do you remember Mounir El Hamdaoui? He was not given a chance and has gone back to Holland and scored a goal every other game. We mustn’t make that mistake again. Huddlestone has been a regular first team player and should be given a little longer, but not much longer. Bale has been playing in a poorly performing team and is only 19. Gunter has not had a chance. Rose has done exceptionaly well lately. Bostock is 17 for christ’s sake! Players of the type you are talking about come along once every ten years in a single club. Our academy is improving significantly at the moment. I am sick of reactionary idiots like you on the internet. Arm-chair morons who spout crap for hours on forums. You can’t even write properly.

    Tottenham Ozspur, We are having a reserve team, its just not playing in the reserve league. Its so they don’t have to stick to the games and can organise matches when they want and against who they want.

    JD… we do pretty well at developing players, less well at hanging on to them… e.g. Carrick, Berbatov

    you guys can develop players all you want, its skills and personality that lacks in English players.. Zonga’s gonna be a breath of fresh air at Spurs.
    if you guys where impressed by Pienaar at Everton wait till you guys get a load of this kid, he’s faster with alot of dribbling ability!
