Tottenham are swooping for U20 World Cup star Freddy Adu.

The People says Spurs have had the 21-year-old attacking midfielder in their sights for some time and manager Martin Jol now knows he will have to move fast to land him. Celtic gaffer Gordon Strachan had hoped to clinch a £1million move for the Real Salt Lake City star - a former Manchester United trialist - when his side arrive in America this week.

However, Jol is ready to beat them to it despite splashing out £30m already this summer.
