Tottenham have beaten Chelsea to the signing of Nigerian junior Temidire Emmanuel Okuwa.

All Nigeria Soccer reports Okuwa will represent the U14 team this season.

The teenager has been at West Ham for the last nine years but left the London Stadium this summer.

He trained with both Chelsea and Spurs before deciding to head to last season's Champions League finalists.

The versatile Okuwa can play numerous positions defensively as well as central midfield.
