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.
