Damien Comolli is happy with the SuperSport
deal
Tottenham have announced a partnership with South African
side SuperSport United in a link-up that will see both clubs'
academies working together.
Some youngsters will travel to London from the Pretoria-based club
to train with Spurs.
"This is an excellent opportunity for both clubs," said Damien
Comolli, Spurs' sporting director.
"It's a mutually beneficial partnership that will see both our
academies gain from the association."
Comolli is also optimistic about eventually getting players from
the scheme in the South Africa team.
"We will aim to bring one or two players a year over to train with
our home-grown talent," he said.
"I don't think it is unrealistic to expect that, in a few years'
time, the majority of players in the South African national squad
will have come from the SuperSport Academy.
"We will look to develop talent - talent that may have a place with
us, but also talent for the South African game.
"The deal is a win-win situation for Spurs and for SuperSport
United players and fans."
Spurs travelled to South Africa as part of their pre-season
preparations and are also involved in the SOS Children's Village
charity in Cape Town.
