Football is finally back. It seems like an age since Spurs played their final game of last season in the Champions League final against Liverpool. But football is back underway in the form of the International Champions Cup.
Tottenham began their 2019/20 campaign with a victory over Juventus in an entertaining contest last Sunday night. The match was played in a relatively high tempo considering it was only a friendly.
Juventus lined up with a very strong team from the outset. It included likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonardo Bonucci, and Miralem Pjanic to name a few. Tottenham on the other hand fielded a very youthful starting eleven that featured highly-rated 17-year-old Troy Parrott up front as striker along with Anthony Georgiou, Oliver Skipp, and more.
Out of all the youngsters that played on Sunday evening, we list five (unranked) that impressed.

The strong performances from the Spurs youngsters is a reflection of the hard work that each and every member of the coaching staff at Tottenham has done. Players such as Troy Parrott almost look ready to appear in the senior team on a more frequent basis.
If the youth at Spurs can continue impressing like they did on Sunday evening, then the future of the club will be in safe hands. Knowing that the Club have depth in the youth ranks that can be deployed when needed is a strong sign.
Troy Parrott in particular deserves more game time this season. Maybe not in the Premier League just yet, but certainly in the Carabao Cup or FA Cup fixtures.
