Ebbsfleet youngster Shilow Tracey has passed a medical at Tottenham and is close to completing a dream move to White Hart Lane.

Standard Sport revealed on Wednesday that Spurs had agreed a deal with the National League South club, who play five levels below the Premier League.

Tracey, 17, has made only one first-team appearance for Ebbsfleet, in a Kent Senior Cup game against Charlton last year, but Spurs saw enough talent in the attacker to sign him up.

Tracey impressed on trial at Tottenham and did well for their academy side during a tour of Florida last year, where he played in their defeat by Maccabi Haifa on penalties in the final.

They are chasing back-up for Harry Kane and a player who can play wide or through the middle.

Spurs don’t have a direct replacement so it is difficult for them to rest him.
