According to All Nigeria Soccer, Tottenham Hotspur have secured the services of former West Ham United defender Temidire Emmanuel Okuwa, beating Chelsea to his signature.
The highly-rated 14-year-old left West Ham at the end of last season having spent five years in their academy, and he went on trials at both Tottenham and Chelsea, training with the London duo before opting for the North Londoners.
Okuwa will now link up with Spurs’ U14 team and hope their clear and proven path through the youth ranks into the first-team can boost his chances of turning out for them professionally.
