Young Spurs star reveals he's also signed a new contract on same day as Winks and Davies

All the headlines might have been taken by Harry Winks and Ben Davies signing new contracts at Tottenham Hotspur, but one of the club's young goalkeepers also did the same.

It was announced on Monday that the two first team stars put pen to paper on five year deals with the club.

Not to be left out, 18-year-old academy product Joshua Oluwayemi announced on his Instagram page that he had also signed his own deal, a two-year professional deal with Spurs.

Oluwayemi, an England youth international who joined Tottenham's academy in 2017, was the U18s' first choice goalkeeper last season and was also part of the U19 squads for the UEFA Youth League.

The teenager kept the most clean sheets out of any goalkeeper in the U18 Premier League, shutting out opponents in eight of his 17 matches, conceding just 13 goals throughout the season in the league.

On Monday he posted the following image plus the caption: "Happy to sign a two year professional contract for @spursofficial to 2021."

Oluwayemi has already played on the pitch at Tottenham's new stadium in front of thousands of the club's fans.

He was between the sticks in the first test event match there as Spurs' U18s beat Southampton 3-1 in March.

The young goalkeeper will now be hoping he can catch the eye of the first team goalkeeping coach Toni Jiminez next season as well as manager Mauricio Pochettino.
