Do we always announce our academy signees? I don't believe that we do.

No we don't but he will appear on our academy squad list if he signs.

I don't know the first thing about this kid but if we beat Barcelona to any young player I'll take it. Nothing is guaranteed but you need to take risks on kids like these to build for the future.

He's definitely signed for us. Will join Spurs for pre-season training on Monday.

I'd like to see what Poch can do with this kid, we might already be sorted for a LWF.

Article states he's headed to Celta Vigo on loan after training at Spurs.

Yeah, hopefully we can get him in January when he's 18, I dont see a work permit being a problem as he could easily be regarded a 'special talent'.

Won't be 18 until December 2015, unfortunately.
His agent, as I understand it, is the Nigerian U17 coach.
The story goes that prior to picking the squad for the FIFA U17 World Cup, he blackmailed them into signing to his agency - or else they'd be dropped.
Scandalous.
I wouldn't believe a word he says. All smoke an mirrors to drum up interest.
Shame for the kid, looks a good player.

AKA The Nigeria Under-45 coach...

He apparently already has family in London. Should be pretty easy to get him into the country now without waiting unitl after the loan to get him a work permit. So I think the loan is designed solely to get him first team experience. If it was just so he can join up with their development squad, we'd be better off keeping him in our development squad.

He's the Nigerian Joseph Minala.

From what I saw he was more Neymar than Iniesta, but either way he's a real talent IMO.

Gotta love this comment:
"As a Nigerian I am disappointed that he signed a pre contract with Tottenham. They don't have a history of developing young talent. He should have gone to Man City at least it appears they take youth development serious.
I hope it is not to late for him to back out of the contract with Tottenham."
Followed by: "Surely, you know nothing about premiere league"
