Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has been asked about the potential of two young players at the club.

The likes of Alejo Veliz and Jamie Donley have both been on the bench for Spurs recently.

Postecoglou, whose side are preparing to take on Luton Town in the Premier League at the weekend, was asked about the impact they can make on the game.

He told reporters: “They are sort of separate cases. With Alejo, we obviously signed him and he came in with an injury problem so we took a conservative approach knowing the demands of the Premier League and our training.

“He's had to work hard but we brought him in as a first-team squad member and to help us in that front third. He's getting fitter now and had a good couple of weeks of training. It was great to get him on and I'm sure he'll keep working hard to make an impact for us and help us.

“With the young guys and guys like Jamie, he's done really well and our U21s have had some really consistent performances in their league. Jamie and Alfie Dorrington have really stood out.

“We've had them training with us but at the same time they still have a long way to go and work. It doesn't mean they are ahead of the pecking order with guys like Alfie Devine, who is out on loan or Dane Scarlett. For all these young guys there is still a fair way to go and maybe part of their journey next is to go out on loan, but at the same time, like in life, in football opportunities come along.

“If they go on and take it, play well, they'll accelerate their development but at the moment it is good to have them. The training level doesn't drop when they're in with us and that's the main thing. Both guys, Jamie and Alfie [Dorrington] in particular have come along well."
