Tottenham convinced they have won race for Ipswich striker Wickham

Tottenham are convinced they've won the race for Ipswich Town striker Connor Wickham.

The Mirror says Wickham is set to become a Tottenham player this summer.

White Hart Lane chief Harry Redknapp is believed to be prepared to go as high as £15million to buy the 17-year-old.

A club insider said: "We feel we already have one hand on Connor."

Other Premier League managers also want England Under-21 international Wickham, who hit a stunning hat-trick as Ipswich won 6-0 at Doncaster on Tuesday night, but Spurs have an agreement with Ipswich that they have first refusal if the price is right.

Ipswich owner Marcus Evans is well connected with Spurs, and is set to let them have their man in the close season.
