Tottenham Sign 17-Year-Old Luca Williams-Barnett to First Professional Contract

The deal underscores Spurs’ commitment to a prized academy midfielder after a brief first-team debut.

Overview

  • The club confirmed the agreement on its website and social channels shortly after the player’s 17th birthday.
  • An academy product since the Under-10s, he excelled at youth level, including 20 goals and 12 assists for the U18s last season.
  • He made his senior bow in last month’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Doncaster Rovers as a late substitute.
  • That appearance made him the 9,000th player to represent Tottenham at first-team level, as reported locally.
  • He has trained with the first team and holds England youth caps from U15 to U18, with a possible loan viewed externally as an option while Thomas Frank urges measured development.
