After hearing some recent news this week, journalist Mitch Fretton praised the young Tottenham Hotspur player Alfie Devine, who is presently on loan at Port Vale, for his enormous potential. He recently received a significant honor.

There are now a group of really interesting young players refining their skills in the background while new Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou monitors a truly great start to the new Premier League season with his senior squad.
In fact, attacker Dane Scarlett, who was recently compared to Manchester United sensation Marcus Rashford by former Lilywhites head coach Jose Mourinho, is arguably the most exciting potential talent to emerge in recent years.
Mourinho said of the young man in 2021: “He is a diamond, a kid with incredible potential.”
He has frequently worked with the first team, which has given him a unique personality. He will turn 17 in March, but even though he is still just 16, I think he has a lot of talent and will play for the first team the following year.
“I hope everything surrounding him goes well because I think he’s going to be a fantastic player. He is a striker and a number nine. He is very intelligent, and I have been playing him from the sides like Marcus Rashford.
It would be intriguing to see how Scarlett performs in the Championship while on a temporary assignment at Ipswich Town because it is a very competitive league.
Troy Parrott, a teenage striker who was once considered a possible Harry Kane successor, is also on loan at Excelsior of the Eredivisie as the Republic of Ireland international attempts to advance his career.
The aforementioned two are just two examples of the potential that N17 is capable of producing; midfielder Devine is another who has been predicted to become a star.
How good is Alfie Devine?
The 19-year-old had already received plaudits from Sky Sports commentator and Liverpool star Jamie Carragher, who is presently on his own temporary assignment with League One club Port Vale.
The opportunity to train with England’s senior team as they prepare for their UEFA Euro qualifying match against Ukraine on Saturday was quite the honor for Devine this week.
As a result of this news, some media outlets, including dependable football.london journalist Alasdair Gold, complimented the young talent.
“Big week for Alfie Devine,” declared Gold on X.
“First that fantastic performance for Port Vale, with a goal and an assist, and now drafted in from the England U20s to train with the senior side under Gareth Southgate’s watchful eye.”
With his own evaluation of Devine and an explanation of how he can grow to be “huge” for the Spurs, another reporter in Fretton who works as an editorial content executive for LiveScore fueled the flames.
Alfie Devine training with the senior England squad makes me so thrilled, even though I know he’s still a ways off, Fretton wrote on X.
He is a player with amazing talent, and I can’t wait to see him play regularly for Spurs.
Upon Devine’s return to his parent club after his time at Vale, it appears Postecoglou may have a future prodigy on his hands.
