Kyran Thompson who was on the verge of joining Tottenham, has instead signed for rivals Arsenal.
The North London club have made a major change to their transfer approach since the arrival of Ange Postecoglou. They have been quite strategic about everything they have done so far and the focus has been on signing young players who can help them in the long run.
They added Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert to their squad in the summer but according to Secret Scout, Spurs missed out on the services of teenage midfield sensation Kyran Thompson who has now ended up joining arch-rivals Arsenal.
The Gunners have completed a deal to sign the 15-year-old sensation who is capable enough to play as a number 10 as well as out wide on the left flank. He is all set to link up with their youth team as the Premier League’s five-step ratification has been completed.
While Mikel Arteta’s team have won the race for his services, the young midfield sensation was on the verge of joining Tottenham Hotspur. He was within touching distance of signing for Ange Postecoglou’s team back in July but Arsenal made a late move to secure his services from West Ham.
Thompson was a part of the Kent Elite Team scouting setup before he made the move to the Hammers. He was already a big name and Spurs were keeping a close eye on him. While they did try to lure him to the club, Tottenham couldn’t get it over the line and the Gunners eventually won the race.
