Former Tottenham goalkeeper Kasey Keller has warned American international DeAndre Yedlin that he could find it 'hard to develop' at White Hart Lane.

The Seattle Sounders full-back was impressive in Brazil as the American national team were knocked out in the last-16 after qualifying through a difficult group.

And Yedlin, who has been linked with a move to Roma, is also interesting Tottenham, who want competition for Kyle Walker at right-back.

But former Spurs stopper Keller has urged the defender to consider his options before jumping at a move to the Premier League.

"Spurs is a tricky place to play," Keller said.

Tottenham's summer signings 3 show all Tottenham's summer signings 1/3 Michel Vorm: Goalkeeper The Dutch international has been brought in to add further cover to No1 Hugo Lloris. With 43-year-old Brad Friedel Tottenham's backup keeper last season, Vorm is a much-needed younger understudy to the France captain.

Almost third of the price Manchester United paid for Luke Shaw, Davies was equally as impressive for Swansea as the former Southampton star. At just 21-years of age, it's an astute piece of business by Mauricio Pochettino.

Uncertainty surrounds senior defenders Michael Dawson and Younes Kaboul could see Dier feature more prominently that expected next season, but the man dubbed the 'new John Terry' is more likely to feature in the Europa League, where his experience of European football could prove invaluable as he looks to impress his new boss.

"They're a team that has a lot of turnover in players. Spurs are a team that has the money, and they are always looking for a bargain, but it's a tough place to go.

"I just want to see young American players play regularly, week in and week out. If that's at Tottenham, great. But if it's not, then it's not the right move. It's hard to develop if you don't play.

"I'm not sure DeAndre would even qualify for a work permit. He's never started a game for the national team, [England] is a tough place to get a work permit.

"My guess would be that if Tottenham is in the race, it would be to sign DeAndre and loan him out somewhere."
