Spurs are likely to integrate youngster Mickey Moore into the first team in the coming years.
While director Simon Davies is delighted with the teenager's progress, he urges caution as well.
It's encouraging that the manager sees something in Mikey but it is just potential at the moment," Davies told The Standard.
He's a 16-year-old boy. He's not 17 until August, so he's a young boy with high potential. We have several of them in the academy.
It's exciting for the academy to have a player so young on the bench. But we have to stay calm and consistent. Because at the moment, it is just (potential).
I spoke to him this morning while he was having his breakfast about staying calm and consistent and keep working hard every day, do the small things right (because) the small things get noticed.
He's super mature for a young boy so let's hope his potential is fulfilled but unfortunately we haven't got a crystal ball. So we just have to do all the things right every day and stay consistent and calm."
