Tottenham coaches were blown away by how good the 25-year-old Spurs player looked in training before Palace

Tottenham Hotspur coaches have been particularly impressed with one of their players in training ahead of Saturday’s visit from Crystal Palace.

Ange Postecoglou has had a long period of time to train with his team without a game, and he will undoubtedly expect a significant improvement from the Wolverhampton Wanderers‘ performance.

In a mixed bag of performances in February, it frequently felt as if Spurs’ press had lost ferocity in games compared to earlier showing.

However, with a stronger range of players anticipated to be available for Palace’s trip to Tottenham and two crucial players returning to training, there is reason to be optimistic.

Destiny Udogie appears to be returning to Postecoglou‘s XI, barring any late setbacks.

While Pedro Porro‘s status is less guaranteed, supporters can probably expect him to return.

Having said that, a different Tottenham player on the fringe has been impressing in training this week.

Alfie Whiteman impresses Tottenham coaches in training before Crystal Palace.
In a training video posted today, the Spurs coaches can be heard passionately praising Alfie Whiteman at 1:50 for a fantastic double save.

The 25-year-old appears to be Ange Postecoglou’s fourth choice this season, but he certainly impressed on this occasion.

Brandon Austin was the keeper on the bench against Wolves due to Fraser Forster’s injury.

And perhaps it is an area of the squad that will undergo significant change next season.

While Whiteman has impressed in training for Tottenham before joining Palace, he would not be putting pressure on Forster if fit.

And it wouldn’t be surprising if Tottenham wanted to sign a new number two next season, someone to compete with Guglielmo Vicario.

A summer clearout in the position may be prudent, especially with players like Aaron Maguire on the rise.

All that being said, Ian Wright has projected the score when Tottenham play Palace on Saturday.
