Oliver Boast, who turned 17 last month, has agreed to sign a first professional contract with Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.

The young forward was born in York, and first broke into academy football at Leeds United, signing for the Whites aged just nine.

Rising through the ranks at Leeds, Boast established himself as one of United's most exciting prospects, earning the attention of fellow Premier League clubs.

He landed at Tottenham Hotspur last July, ending an eight year association with Leeds and beginning a new chapter with Spurs.

In his first full season with Tottenham, Boast has recorded 14 goals and 4 assists in 27 matches in the under-18's Premier League,

That included a sensational performance against Birmingham City under-18's, in which Boast scored a hat-trick and got one assist in a 4-1 dismantling of the Brum.

In all competitions, Boast scored 17 in total when contributing to Tottenham's run in the Premier League under-18's Cup.

Boast's impressive displays over the years with Leeds and now Tottenham has also earned him a regular spot in the England under-17's side, with the young man from York representing his country.
