Tottenham have taken another step towards reinforcing their academy pathway, with a fresh deal agreed for a West Ham starlet.

Tottenham Hotspur’s chief executive officer, Vinai Venkatesham, has openly addressed the club’s desire to place greater focus on the academy in the coming years.

The Spurs academy has produced a few standout players in the past, with Harry Kane one of the most notable examples in recent times.

However, the influx of youth into the first team has been far from frequent, with Spurs currently lacking academy graduates in their main eleven vying for a starting role, even though several remain on the fringes.

In a bid to continue nurturing some of the brightest prospects in England, Tottenham Hotspur have now agreed a deal for West Ham United academy forward Elisha Sowunmi, according to Pete O’Rourke.

It is understood that Spurs have been tracking him for over a year and have beaten Club Brugge to secure his signature.

The 18-year-old forward has featured seven times for the Hammers in the Premier League 2 division and has managed one goal in that period.

Last season, he netted an impressive 16 goals and five assists in all competitions in the U18s, playing anywhere across the front line.
