Tottenham Hotspur have been the most active Premier League club in the transfer market this summer.
After signing six players, a handful of notable departures have also been confirmed, while a few others are close to being finalised.
The likes of Will Lankshear, Luka Vuskovic and Alejo Veliz have been allowed to move on, while Mason Melia is close to leaving Tottenham on loan.
Recruiting young players is something clubs across the Premier League have focused on in recent years.
And if reports from the Daily Mail are to be believed, Tottenham have beaten Arsenal to the signature of England U-15 midfielder Isaac Allen.
Tottenham set to sign Isaac Allen
Last month, we reported on Read Tottenham that Spurs and Arsenal were locked in talks to sign Allen.
And now, Daily Mail journalist Isaan Khan has confirmed that the youngster is on his way to the white half of North London.
On 22nd July, Khan tweeted that the two great rivals are looking to pip one another for Allen.
“Tottenham are close to beating Arsenal to signing West Ham’s Isaac Allen,” wrote Khan on X.
“The England Under 15 midfield captain has been actively pursued by the Gunners for weeks – the club are keen on the player. But Spurs are confident.”
And now, he reposted the tweet, adding that it’s a ‘done deal’ for the Lilywhites.
Over the years, De Zerbi has played a pivotal role in the development of several young players.
And we’ve already seen in pre-season so far that he isn’t afraid to throw the kids into the firing line, with Malachi Hardy and Luca Williams-Barnett showing their class, among others.
Let’s hope Allen is the next in the production line as he clearly seems like an exciting talent.
