Metro are anouncing that this "wonderkid" will be signed in a "shock deal" 
I guess their sport jornos are easily shocked.

Pfft, Pochettino has already turned an 18 year old League 1 player into a Premier League and England star and YPOTY contender. It's too easy for him.
He wants a greater challenge, so next up: turn a 17 year old non-League footballer into a Premier League star.

He played for 2 games with Spurs in a US youth tournament (IMG) in December as a wide forward as far as we can tell, and Ebbsfleet website has referred to him as a striker.
As part of their development youth players can be played in different positions, so assuming he joins we'll see what our youth coaches make of him - I doubt very much we'll see much of him with the first team

For the record, weirdly and somewhat randomly, Alan Brazil mentioned him on TS this morning. He said from what I gather the deal has been done and he's signing for Spurs. He went on to say that he'll be one to keep an eye on as he has big potential or something like that.

I assume any youngster we sign these days we will hear similar. All in an attempt to say "see, I told you he'd be a star" down the road after Poch does what Poch does.
Poch and his Midas Touch.

It's a complete non event, but it's all over newsnow. Tottenham are signing youngsters all the time
Like everyone else, Brazil has never heard of the wonderkid who has never played for an Academy or a non league club

I think most sports journos are shocked if they manage to do a dump without getting it all over themselves..

I'm not sure that's entirely true but ok.
As it happens I think Brazil was getting confused with the lad from Charlton, Ade Lookman. I'm sure I heard him say Spurs are signing Shilow Tracey from Charlton and I knew that was wrong at the time. I think he just got his names confused.

It is the account of a Spurs fan that follows our youth teams (they also post on here but I forgot which poster it is) that was at the game. What more was there to add?
