Tottenham are favourites to land Blackburn Rovers centre back Ashley Phillips.

Spurs are ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United for the 17 year-old.

The Daily Mail says Spurs director of football Fabio Paratici is expected to be at Rovers game at Reading tonight ahead of giving a move the green light.

Tottenham are looking to strike a deal ahead of their rivals once Paratici gives his approval.

Phillips is an England under-17 international, winning five caps, and has made two appearances for Rovers so far this season - once each in the Championship and the Carabao Cup.
