A wide player with an eye for goal, Maurizio Pochettino enjoyed an eventful season with our Under-18s in 2018/19.

He made 15 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League, including one as a substitute in the first ever football match to be played at our new stadium as we beat Southampton Under-18s in a Test Event in March, 2019, and scored three goals - at home to Norwich City and West Ham, plus one away to Aston Villa. He also played four times in the Under-18 Premier League Cup, twice in the FA Youth Cup and stepped up to make two appearances for the Under-23s in December, 2018 - one against VfL Wolfsburg in the Premier League International Cup and one against Manchester City in the Premier League 2.
