Johan Lange and his team have certainly been busy on deadline day, with Tottenham Hotspur now closing in on another signing, albeit for their youth team.
Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign Mathys Tel already today, a Bayern Munich forward who will definitely add quality to Ange Postecoglou’s options up top.
Spurs sanctioned a loan move for Yang Min-hyeok to join Queens Park Rangers on loan recently, suggesting that added firepower would be arriving.
Such has been the injury crisis in N17, Min-hyeok was one of those regularly making up numbers on the bench of late.
That being said, Spurs’ main issue has been in defence, where several first-team starters have been missing owing to injury.
And it looks as if Tottenham are closing in on signing a Liverpool player who may be able to help in the future.
Tottenham agree deal to sign Luca Furnell-Gill from Liverpool
According to journalist Dan Kilpatrick who was reporting for Standard Sport, Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign Liverpool defender Luca Furnell-Gill.
The 18-year-old centre-back has featured five times for Liverpool in the under-18 Premier League, but is yet to get near to a senior squad.
Furnell-Gill is intended to boost the numbers in Spurs’ academy and could be welcomed to the club in a double-deal alongside Manchester City youngster Daniel Batty.
Kilpatrick firmly stated that neither signing would be considered for Postecoglou’s first team squad this season, a comforting message for any Tottenham fan worrying that the signing might end Spurs’ search for one more centre-back after recruiting Kevin Danso.
Luca Furnell-Gill was handed lengthy ban for unsavoury elbow in youth match
Tottenham fans might be interested to know that Furnell-Gill was handed a lengthy ban last year for an unsavoury moment in an under-18s match.
According to the Mirror, the youngster clashed with Manchester United youngster Ethan Wheatley and elbowed his opponent whilst also throwing a punch.
Liverpool’s academy director ended up apologising to United on Furnell-Gill’s behalf, who did regret his actions.
Either way, it will be a fresh start for the promising youngster at Spurs – an exciting place to be for a youngster in the Postecoglou era.
If you’re good enough, you will get a chance at Tottenham right now, something the likes of Mikey Moore are taking full advantage of.
