Tottenham Hotspur are expected to sign a new striker this summer, but while fans wait for a big-name signing, a young forward is ready to finalise his move to the club soon.
George Feeney ready to sign on the dotted line
After months of monitoring and speculation, Tottenham are now expected to confirm the signing of George Feeney in the immediate future, after beating competition from a number of other Premier League clubs.
That’s according to a report from Football.London, which claims Brighton, Brentford, West Ham, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest were all in pursuit of the 16-year-old.
Feeney will arrive in North London next week and “will be announced in the coming intake of new academy scholars” for the coming season. That list of players is usually revealed publicly in early July.
He will join from Glentoran, “for a fee that is expected to include add-ons to benefit” Glentoran, though the exact details of the deal are still unknown.
Who is George Feeney? The new Spurs starlet
Described as a “pacey, clinical young striker,” Feeney was in and around the Glentoran first-team last season, despite being so young.
Feeney has been linked with Tottenham as far back as November 2023 (BBC Sport). Last month, that interest took a step in the right direction, with Spurs believed to be putting the finishing touches to a deal to sign the youngster (Football Insider).
This move aligns with Tottenham’s desire to bring in the best emerging talent in world football as per Johan Lange.
Spurs Web Opinion
It’s exciting that we are signing such a highly rated and talented young striker like George Feeney, and he could be a great asset for us in the years to come.
But, I am a little bit concerned that we keep signing these young strikers, with no clear path to the first team for the likes of Will Lankshear and Dane Scarlett.
