Spurs raid Leeds again! Tottenham agree deal to sign Whites wonderkid a year after spending £40m on Archie Gray

Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign Leeds United’s 16-year-old striker Oliver Boast this summer.

Spurs have agreed a deal to sign Boast from Leeds, per The Athletic, with a seven-figure sum agreed for the 16-year-old. He is behind Harry Gray in the pecking order, with Gray regarded as one of the best young strikers of his generation in the country. Spurs, of course, signed Harry’s brother Archie in a £40 million ($55m) deal last summer.

Boast turned 16 last month and is seen as a No.9 who is capable of leading the line on his own. He made his debut for the Under-21s at the age of 15 and has already played for the England Under-16s, while also scoring a multitude of goals for the U18s.

Boast was seen as one of Leeds’ most promising prospects and the club had planned to show him a pathway to the first-team. Instead, he has opted to make a move to north London.

Spurs will likely integrate Boast into the youth teams before giving him a chance to work his way into the first-team under new manager Thomas Frank.
