Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of signing teenager Shilow Tracey from Ebbsfleet United. The 17-year-old was invited for a trial in October and travelled with the club’s under-18s to play at the IMG Cup in Florida last month.

Tracey scored twice in victories over Jacksonville Armada and Baltimore Celtic, leaving Spurs suitably impressed to open talks with Ebbsfleet over a permanent move. Tracey is expected to seal his switch by the end of the week.

It is believed Ebbsfleet have been pleased with Tottenham’s handling of the transfer and the Vanarama National League South side are keen to maintain a close relationship between the clubs.

Tracey is comfortable playing either in central midfield or further forward behind a striker, although he has only featured once for Ebbsfleet’s first team.

The deal would continue Tottenham’s policy of putting trust in young talent following the success of players like Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb under Mauricio Pochettino. Ebbsfleet, however, play five tiers below the Premier League and Tracey is likely to stay with Spurs’ academy for the rest of this campaign.

Tottenham’s priority in the transfer window remains adding another striker to provide cover for Kane, who has played in all but one of the club’s 27 games this season. One reported target was the Marseille forward Michy Batshuayi but any hopes of a January switch look to have ended after the Belgian signed a new contract with the French side until 2020.
 
Fantastic news, up there with the signing of Dave McCewan from Dulwich Hamlet back in the day.
Welcome Shilow, it's up to you now son. I hope that you go on to become a top,:p top player
 
presumably he'll be playing with the development squad for the rest of the season and possibly next year as well
 
2nd year academy is he's only 17.

So a peer of 2CV, KWP, Harrison etc

Been talked about as someone with a very good physique for his age no? Wouldn't be unlikely that he gets moved straight into the development squad? Quite a few of our players have been playing regularly for the development squad at least at 16 and 17.

That's what @Yoof was speculating
 
I remember him as a very good player who turned down Liverpool for us. He looked like he would be a regular for years but injury hit him and he had to retire at 25.
King was saying in a video I just watched, that before the Worthy Cup final in 2008, that his knee had no pain for the first time in ages, he was so pleased, especially since there was a newspaper story a couple of days before the final saying he was contemplating retirement and it hadn't really occurred to him as he was only 26 or 27, bless his cotton socks. So him playing so well in the final was two fingers up to that journalist
