Why Jack Grealish was spotted chatting to Tottenham starlet this week
Tottenham academy goalkeeper, Josh Keeley, who is currently on loan at Leyton Orient, was involved in a touching moment with Jack Grealish after their FA Cup fourth-round clash on Saturday.
Tottenham man steals the limelight with sensation strike
Jamie Donley produced what was the best strike of the campaign so far (although it officially went down as a Stefan Ortega own goal) after lobbing the Man City goalkeeper from near the halfway line on 16 minutes.
Although City came back to win 2-1, the 20-year-old’s goal has hit the headlines, undoubtedly being the highlight of the encounter.
However, Donley was not the only Spurs loanee featuring in the game, with Keeley also putting in a fine performance between the sticks for the O’s.
Josh Keeley and Jack Grealish embrace after the final whistle
PA Sport reporter George Sessions has now shared a video of Jack Grealish and Keeley having a warm embrace after the full-time whistle at Brisbane Road.
The journalist explained that the Tottenham academy goalkeeper met the England international during his trial at Aston Villa when he was aged just 16, with the pair now going up against each other six years later.
It was a great gesture by Grealish, who had obviously not forgotten the time he spent with the Irish goalkeeper in the Villa training ground.
Ironically, Jack Grealish has been linked to Tottenham recently ahead of the summer transfer window.
Could Josh Keeley push for a first-team role at Spurs?
Keeley’s impressive displays have gone a bit under the radar over the last few months, with the goalkeeper going from strength to strength at the League One side this season.
The chances of him getting first-team minutes at Spurs next season seem minimal after the arrival of Antonin Kinsky, but the coaching staff at Tottenham will undoubtedly have been impressed by the 21-year-old’s development.
One would expect a flood of loan offers to arrive from the Championship for the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international in the summer.
