3. Rewarding youth
Former technical co-ordinator Sherwood was previously involved in the youth set-up at White Hart Lane and he has wasted no time in giving youth a chance at Spurs.
Nabil Bentaleb’s first team breakthrough has been remarkable, particularly considering the 19-year-old had never made a senior appearance for his debut at Southampton last month, and Sherwood has also given Milos Veljkovic and Ryan Fredericks chances in the match-day squad, while Tom Carroll could return early from his loan at QPR.
With Spurs drastically saving for a new stadium, putting faith in youth could be a major boost for the club moving forwards, and is certainly a box ticked for Sherwood.
