Tottenham Hotspur 'to sign Wigan Athletic teenager

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly close to signing Wigan Athletic teenager Alfie Devine.

At a time when the club are in administration, the entire first-team squad at the DW Stadium is effectively up for sale.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Spurs have instead moved to secure the signature of 15-year-old youth team player Devine.

The move comes after the midfielder made a positive impression against the North London outfit during their FA Youth Cup tie earlier this season.

The report suggests that Spurs will have to pay in the region of £500,000 should Devine activate a number of clauses over the coming years.
