Tottenham fans may be awaiting news on the signings of celebrated stars in January but, based on the dividends so far paid out in Mauricio Pochettino’s policy of buying youngsters, perhaps we should be getting excited about the latest recruit.
The British media outlet Sky Sports, who have their fingers very much on the pulse in the transfers window, reckon that Tottenham will complete the signing promising young midfielder from Ebbsfleet.
Tottenham are set to sign 17-year-old midfielder Shilow Tracey from Ebbsfleet United, according to Sky sources.

The youngster went on trial to Tottenham in October and clearly impressed, if these reports are to be believed.
The Spurs boss has blooded some sublime youngsters over the last year such as Harry Kane, Eric Dier and perhaps most notably Dele Alli, who is still only 19.
So there is a slight prospect of Tracey getting game time this season. He is very well built for a youngster and has composure beyond his years.
While it may take a couple of years for Tracey to mature, Mauricio Pohettino’s record wth young talent is so good that Tottenham may see him in the first team soon than expected.
