Tottenham Hotspur youngster Yusuf Akhamrich continues to go from strength to strength out on loan at Bristol Rovers.
The winger had four goal contributions in nine games in the Premier League 2 during the first half of the season and even made Thomas Frank’s matchday squad on a couple of occasions.
The 20-year-old is getting his first taste of senior football after joining League Two side Bristol Rovers last month.
Yusuf Akhamrich netted a brace in his first Rovers start against Newport County a few weeks ago, and the Tottenham youngster followed that up with another goal in his second start for the club.
Tottenham youngster Yusuf Akhamrich bags a goal and an assist against Grimsby Town
After scoring two in three matches, the Spurs academy graduate went three matches without a goal, but he once again stepped up for his side in their win over Grimsby Town on Saturday.
Akhamrich set up the home side’s second goal, with a low cross from the left wing, which was turned home from close range by Joe Quigley.
The 20-year-old then scored his side’s third just over an hour into the contest to seal the game after Grimsby pulled a goal back on 38 minutes.

Can Akhamrich force himself into the first-team reckoning at Spurs?
The Tottenham youngster appears to be finding things fairly easy at League Two, and one would expect clubs from higher tiers to vie for his services in the summer.
The fact that Akhamrich has been named in the first-team squad this season suggests that he is very much in the club’s long-term thinking.
Johan Lange and co will certainly be delighted with the way the winger has thrived in his first taste of senior football.
