Tottenham boss Pochettino wary rushing Onomah and Winks

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino won't rush the development of his best kids.

Pochettino gave a debut to 17-year-old midfielder Josh Onomah during the recent FA Cup third-round replay against Burnley, and has also given Harry Winks, 18, a taste of the first team.

Neither is expected to be involved in tomorrow's FA Cup fourth-round tie at home to Leicester tomorrow/on Friday but it is clear they have been earmarked for the future.

"We need to be very careful with young talent," Pochettino said. "Onomah is only 17, but in the last two or three months he has been training with the first team every day. He needs time."
