It is obviously a coup for Spurs to land the striker. Soonsup-Bell has scored twice in seven games in Premier League 2 this season. One of those goals came in a 3-0 win over Tottenham back in November.

The interest in him says a lot. Chelsea have obviously wanted to tie him down to a new contract. He has also made his first-team debut, featuring in the Carabao Cup win over Brentford last season. Meanwhile, Manchester City have been admirers and looked at a potential deal.

So it is a big statement that he appears to be headed for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming hours.

Tottenham are starting to build a group of very talented youngsters. And they have a particularly impressive crop of attacking players, who will be hoping to push towards a first-team spot in the next few years.

That has not been easy at Spurs since Mauricio Pochettino moved on. But Tottenham are a work in progress, so there is an opportunity for the best to shine through.
