Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou does not want to put too much pressure on young players at the club.

The Australian head coach has stated he will work with the club to ensure there is progression for the team's youth talents.

However, Postecoglou admitted that youngster Alejo Veliz and others will be slowly introduced into first team action.

Asked about Veliz, who impressed in a recent U21s game, he told reporters: “To be fair to him he's only had one week of training, had two sessions last week. We gave him game time for the U21s and now he's had a full week of training. It's great to have him on board but again no expectations around his contribution.

Obviously being in the attacking third I think he will get some opportunities for some game time but we still need to let him settle and get him involved in training more consistently over the next two or three weeks and get him a game or two more for U21s, because he's missed a lot of football, but we've been really encouraged with the way he's has gone about things and adjusted to life here.

“He's only a young man coming from the other side of the world. The dressing room environment is great and watching him other night, he is showing the attributes, he has got great movement and he is a real number nine in terms of how he attacks the box and really looking forward to getting him up to speed."
