Carroll,Mason and Kane are the only three homegrown players.
Neither Carroll not Mason have had a big impact this season. They have only 4 and 6 starts each. At 23 and 24 years old I suspect both will move on in the summer.
It's not just about which players are classified as "homegrown" (tho' these also include Josh Onomah, who has made 19 appearances for the first team). Youth development goes well beyond this.
Danny Rose began life at Spurs by played in our academy and reserves, as did Bentaleb. Alli has comes on in leaps and bounds since he was signed at the age of 18. Kyle Walker us joined aged 19, Lamela was 21 and so was Eriksen.
Any, I won't comment further on this since it's not an appropriate thread.
