Mauricio Pochettino says a star of the future may be on display during Tottenham Hotspur's pre-season tour of the United States. 

Spurs are yet to make a signing this summer and Pochettino has named 16 players aged 23 or under in his travelling squad for matches against Paris Saint-Germain, Roma and Manchester City.

He believes Academy starlets such as Will Miller and Kyle Walker-Peters, both pictured top, should be given the chance to stake a claim.

"They’ve all impressed me in the first few weeks [of pre-season] and with John McDermott [Head of Player Development] we decided to give them the possibility to join us on the tour," says Pochettino ahead of their first tour fixture versus PSG, kicking off at 1am BST on Sunday.

"It's a big opportunity for them, a great opportunity to show their quality and why not, maybe we are seeing a player for the future of the first team?"
