Young Liverpool defender Luca Furnell-Gill has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds have given the green light for Furnell-Gill's departure, following a season of limited appearances with the under-18s.
The teenager centre-back has only managed five outings for Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's team this term, starting in three of those matches. He also made a cameo from the bench during the U21s' penalty shoot-out victory over Blackpool in the EFL Trophy last November.
Furnell-Gill's journey to Liverpool began at Preston North End, joining the Reds at U15 level. He made his debut for the U18s as an U16 player in the 2022/23 season.
Interestingly, he started his career as a winger before transitioning into a centre-half role. Alongside his arrival, Spurs have wrapped up a deal for Mathys Tel to join from Bayern Munich.
The France international initially turned down a switch to north London but has since changed his stance and accepted a straight loan move.
football.london understands that Spurs will also have an option-to-buy Tel this summer. He is set to join Kevin Danso and Antonin Kinksy as winter window arrivals. Tottenham also wanted to make a senior defensive addition but were unable to sign either of Axel Disasi or Marc Guehi.
The latter was subjected to a stunning £70million deadline day offer from Spurs which was rejected by Crystal Palace. As for Disasi, despite Chelsea allowing him to join the Lilywhites, the Frenchman was not keen on making that switch.
