Tottenham Hotspur have sealed a deal to sign a versatile teenage forward from Scottish giants Celtic.
Tottenham targeting big attacking signing before deadline
Despite agreeing personal terms with Eberechi Eze, he decided to snub Spurs and sign for rivals Arsenal last week. As a result, Tottenham are on the search for a new marquee attacking addition before Monday’s transfer deadline.
Daniel Levy has so far spent around £118m for Thomas Frank, who has begun his time in charge of Spurs with back-to-back Premier League wins.
Tottenham haven’t conceded a goal in the victories against Burnley and Manchester City, but with James Maddison sidelined with a serious injury, Frank is after another new face in the final third.
Talking before the win at the Etihad, Frank, who also missed out on Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White earlier int he summer, said he is “confident” of making a signing before the window shuts.
"In general I don't want any players that don't want to come to this club and wear this fantastic badge. We don't want them here and I'm sure the fans feel the same.
"We are in the market and we will look to strengthen the team. We have a good squad and good players [but] we need to do everything we can to be as competitive as possible. I am confident we will sign a player before the end of the window. Every club wants to sign players as early as possible, but it's not that easy.”
That player could be RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons, with Spurs looking at hijacking Chelsea’s move for the Netherlands star.
At academy level, though, Spurs have now sealed an attacking signing, with an announcement already made.
Tottenham agree deal to sign teenage forward Conall Glancy from Celtic
Making the move to north London is teenage forward Conall Glancy, who was previously on the books at Celtic.
In an official statement, Spurs revealed that Glancy, 16, has joined the club as a first-year scholar and will play for the U18s.
“We are delighted to announce that Conall Glancy has joined our Academy from Celtic. The 16-year-old forward arrives as a first-year scholar in the Under-18s, joining the 11 players previously announced in that age category this summer. Born in Glasgow, he was with the Hoops since the age of six and can operate off the right wing or in the central areas. He scored 15 goals for Celtic’s Under-16s in 2024/25.”
A versatile youngster who was in the goals last season, Glancy, should he impress, will be able to pen professional terms when he turns 17.
He’ll be a name to keep an eye on in the academy, but at first team level, Spurs continue to work on an attacking addition who will make an instant impact for Frank.
