Former Tottenham Hotspur coach and current Bahrain Under-23 manager Anthony Hudson has tipped Alex Pritchard as one to watch at White Hart Lane, while at the same time lauding the young talent at the Premier League club.
Hudson worked with Spurs’ young talents during Harry Redknapp’s time in charge of the club, before leaving to take over at Newport County, after which time he headed to the Middle East.
And the English tactician feels that 20-year-old Pritchard, who operates as an attacking midfielder, could be set for a bright future in the game, while also praising other talents at Tottenham.
"[England] had some Tottenham players at the Under-20 World Cup; Alex Pritchard, for example, and a few others", Hudson told Inside Futbol.

"They’ve all got fantastic ability and they’re all good footballers. It’s just a case of getting the opportunity. They’re as good as any in the Premier League.
"But as you see in most clubs, including at Spurs, they’re buying big names. It’s very hard to break through for the youngsters even if they have the ability."
Spurs have sent Pritchard on loan to League One outfit Swindon Town for the whole of next season, where the midfielder will hope to hone his skills further before returning to White Hart Lane.
