Tottenham are set to break new ground by offering a record wage for teenage starlet Mikey Moore.
According to reports, the 16-year-old has agreed to sign his first professional contract at the club which will be finalised on Sunday - his 17th birthday.
Moore is highly thought of at Spurs, and this is reflected in the three-year deal he is soon to sign, reports The Athletic.
Having starred at academy level and during pre-season so far, it has been said the north Londoners are offering the forward a bigger salary than they ever have done for a player turning 17.
The contract length is the largest contract allowed by FIFA regulations for players under 18, and Tottenham will hope it helps to deter some of Europe's biggest clubs to ensure one of their own stays put.
It had earlier been reported that both Manchester United and Manchester City, as well as German giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were all interested in the teen.
Moore has made a big impression since breaking into Spurs' first team at the end of last season, becoming the club's youngest ever Premier League player when he made his debut against Man City in May.
The Tottenham academy product made one further league appearance, coming off the bench late in their final game against Sheffield United.
This summer, he has starred for Ange Postecoglou's side in pre-season, with goals against Hearts, Vissel Kobe and a Japanese youth international side.
After his strike against J League Kobe, an 88th-minute winner, Moore drew praise from his manager: "Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in.
"He’s earned his spot on the roster at the moment - he did at the end of last year.
"He got a run with the first team because we could see in training that he was handling himself really well and that’s followed through into pre-season training."
Postecoglou later added: "We have to remember that last year he had some injuries and he is only 16, but yes - super exciting."
Prior to rejoining Spurs for pre-season training in July, Moore had been in red-hot form for England's Under-17s in their European Championship campaign in Greece.
The starlet netted four goals in as many games before England suffered penalty heartbreak to eventual winners Italy at the quarter-final stage.
All signs seem to suggest that Moore is more than ready to make the step up into first-team football.
The Spurs ace previously boasted a stunning record for the club’s youth teams, with 19 goals and 13 assists in 24 appearances at U18 level, having broken into that team at the age of 15.
He would go on to become the youngest player to break into the Tottenham U21s side, and has 18 goals in 31 games for the Three Lions at U15 to U17 level.
