According to a report in The Athletic, Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on the progress of Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell. The left-back made his first appearance for the Eagles senior team in the 3-0 loss at Leicester and is believed to be a big prospect at the London club.
The report from the Athletic reveals that the 20-year-old youngster was originally set to be given an opportunity this season after his scintillating performance for the club last summer’s pre-season tour but his dream was halted by injury problems.
Mitchell, a quick and energetic full-back, is reportedly said to be similar in terms of style to former Palace academy graduate, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and is also expected by some at the club to reach similar heights.
According to reports, it is said that the attentions of Tottenham Hotspur has been drawn to the youngster’s performance for Palace’s Under 23 team in snapping him up. Mitchell, according to the Athletic, previously had a trial in North London with the Jose Mourinho’s side. Palace’s next outing in the Premier League will be a home clash against Frank Lampard’s Chelsea side wherein a win for the Eagles put them in 10th position whilst the Blues can leapfrogged Leicester City for the third position with a win at the Selhurst Park.

However, it remains to be seen if Palace could be tempted into selling Mitchell with the report from real money casino indicating that he is still held in high regard within the club.
While it is possible that Spurs are tracking his development at Palace, it would be extremely surprising if the North London club made a move for him this summer. According to the gooner news publisher, in Ryan Sessegnon and Dennis Cirkin, Spurs have two young players who have the talent to make the left-back spot their own in the coming years, if they keep improving.
