That “error prone defender” is likely to start for Tottenham against wolves as the 18-year-old new boy will partner with him in defence.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has a selection headache ahead of Spurs’ next Premier League encounter.

Tottenham play away at Wolves in Saturday’s early kickoff, and they have some personnel issues, particularly at the back.

Eric Dier is likely to start for Tottenham against Wolves, but then Postecoglou has to think about who could partner him in defence.

Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur, 15)

We may have just got the clearest hint yet as to who could come in at the back, or at least make up the numbers in the squad.
On Wednesday, Tottenham shared a video on X of the Spurs first-team squad making their way to the Hotspur Way pitches, and Ashley Phillips was among the players.
The 18-year-old joined Tottenham in the summer for a reported £3million, having already made 14 outings for Blackburn Rovers.

On Tuesday night, Spurs’ Under-21s were in EFL Trophy action at Cambridge United, but Phillips wasn’t in the squad. Now, we have another hint that he could feature on Saturday.

Phillips yet to make his Spurs debut, but alongside Alfie Dorrington, there’s plenty of excitement surrounding the pair.

‘So high level’

With Tottenham offloading Davinson Sanchez and Japhet Tanganga over the summer, Phillips is now their main back-up option after Dier.

And with Romero and Van de Ven both set to miss out, the ‘phenomenal‘ summer signing could well be in line for his Tottenham debut on Saturday.
