According to Football Insider, Tottenham have reportedly agreed a fee with Forest Green Rovers for teenage talent Darim Tchadjobo. The 14-year-old striker prodigy is considered a huge talent for the future, with the report floating the idea that Spurs may have beaten many clubs in the English football pyramid.
Tottenham have plenty of problems on their plate ahead of the next few weeks. With the team now battling a relegation fight, it shows how far they have fallen off this season. The massive doubts over their ability to stay afloat in the top flight have altered or halted a lot of their plans, particularly in the transfer market.
Should Spurs continue on their current trajectory and go down, they will lose their power and pull to attract some of the top talents in the market for their senior side. Hence, their planning has seemingly stopped, and any new ideas on transfer targets will only be put in place after the season ends, depending on where they might play next term.
However, Spurs are not letting their focus on the future of their youth squads slip out of their minds as they continue to find ways to strengthen the younger generation teams. Tottenham have reportedly clinched an agreement with Forest Green Rovers for their teenage prospect, Darim Tchadjobo.
Tottenham may have beaten off competition from multiple clubs in the English football pyramid to secure the signature of the 14-year-old Tchadjobo. He is expected to arrive at the club in the summer and begin his quest with the younger squad, and Spurs will be hoping to develop the young star into a top-drawer striker for the future.
Spurs are steadily competing with some of their Premier League rivals when it comes to the development of young stars. They recently signed Hearts teenager James Wilson ahead of Arsenal in January, while the injury situation they have endured in the last two seasons has allowed opportunities for many of their other prospects from the academy.
Callum Olusesi and Junai Byfield have benefited in that regard, while there are many others in the pipeline to stake their place in future teams. As for Tchadjobo, it is not clear where Tottenham are eyeing a place for him in their system, but given his stature and reputation, the young striker is likely to play in a higher age group.
