Admittedly it will be hard to find a slot for him because he is not one for tracking back but....

Aged 21 a couple of days ago, so I wouldn't always expect a 'complete' player.
But hopefully this season is long enough for coaches to help player change any less desirable habits as well as improve on strengths.
Jamie Bowden (Oldham Athletic)
Bowden is on loan for the very first time after departing for Oldham at the start of the month.
After getting a couple of appearances under his belt, he had found himself having to isolate.
As reported by The Oldham Times, the youngster's absence is in fact due to isolation under Covid protocols.
The publication states that the player was expected to report back to Boundary Park on Monday, which meant he missed out as Oldham lost 2-1 to Colchester United at home.

Blimey, Markanday took his goals well (John too of course)!
Not sure I can remember a player like Makanday in Spurs u21's before.
6 months ago I'd have said 'he's like Marcus Edwards, lots of skill on the ball but a lightweight right winger'.
Now he's put on a bit of muscle and become a stand in striker, he seems to have changed into a highly skilled goal scoring striker. Might be premature and fanciful but I can see a totally different player emerging - and a role model of Serge Aguero maybe ?
Obviously a huge leap to get to Serge status ...... but 5 goals in preseason, a goal and MOTM against Chelsea, followed by a hat-trick against Leeds, and the raw ingredients seem to be coming together, and that powerful accurate shooting (2nd goal v Leeds) will never go out of fashion ?
We can dream !
He'd be our first player from an Indian/Pakistani/Bangla background, right?
That would be a real boost for younger players with links to the sub-continent

Only ever been a handful of Indian/Pakistan/Bangladesh/South Asian players in PL (let alone Spurs), of which I think Michael Chopra (might be wrong ) former Newcastle striker might be best known. Rumours at one time we tried to sign him, but nothing came of it.
So huge news if he did make it at Spurs, even if he moved on later.
I'm thinking close season tours to India and shirt sales to a population of a billion.....
At the very least, Markanday deserves to be training regularly with the first team so the coaches can assess how effective he is against, um, top class defenders like..

Wales u21's think he is 'unattached'
Spurs contract willl have expired on 30 JUne 2021.
So as clear as mud what his position is
I think you're right about him being the first Indian.
However, the first Indian could have been the late Chun Goswami - who turned down the chance of trial for Spurs back in 1962...

Certainly would be exiting if he made it as a regular with us.
Kind of like those kind of players. Saw some youth games footage ages ago where he looked pretty tenacious, if tiny.
