“18-year-old Ashley Phillips, a center back on loan from Spurs, is going to be a superstar,” McInally remarked.
Additionally, Phillips was declared the Fans’ Player of the Match against Huddersfield by Argyle’s official Twitter account, which also praised him as “outstanding.”
Even if it was just one game, Phillips had a huge influence on Saturday, and Tottenham will be thrilled.
Although Phillips has experience playing in the Championship from his time at Blackburn, this loan should allow him to establish some serious momentum and play frequently before returning to Tottenham.
Given that Tottenham recently signed Radu Dragusin as a center defender, Phillips should expect intense competition for spots in North London for some time to come.
Though it is obvious that the teenager has a lot of potential, he will be seeking to demonstrate through some impressive Championship performances that he can compete at the Premier League level.
