Tottenham appear to have secured the services of a highly-rated Chelsea defender on a permanent basis.
The Lilywhites have had an eventful February as they parted ways with Thomas Frank following the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle.
Tottenham then turned to Igor Tudor and brought him in as the interim manager until the end of the season.
Igor Tudor has been announced the Tottenham interim boss…
How do YOU see his reign panning out? 👀
Now, they are on the cusp of signing a youth talent who just left one of their biggest rivals.
George Jobling leaves Chelsea and is set to join Tottenham
George Jobling spent four years at the Chelsea academy, where he honed his skills to become one of the brightest prospects in the country.
The 15-year-old is an England Under-16s international and was even called up to the most recent training camp.
The right-back has featured for Chelsea’s Under-16s and Under-17s sides this season, but has now parted ways with the club.

According to the reliable insider Secret Scout, Jobling will be joining the Blues’ rivals Tottenham permanently.
He is extremely highly-rated and is said to be one of the defenders to watch as he has been tipped to have a bright senior career.
Images have also emerged of him in a Spurs kit, all but confirming the deal, which is now subject to an official announcement.
Signing Jobling is a coup for Spurs
Jobling is already the captain of the England Under-16s team, which is a sign of his showing leadership and maturity at a young age.
This would be beneficial for Spurs’ youth teams, and if he does come up the ranks, his professionalism would benefit the other players around him as well.
Getting someone to leave Chelsea, a side known for their quality academy, is a sign that Tottenham are doing something right behind the scenes.
As he’s capable of playing against youngsters three years older than him, it means that he is better than the other players his age, and he could be ready for first-team football within a few years.
It remains to be seen where he ends up in the next five years, and Spurs fans will be excited to see how he develops.
