Last updated : 05 July 2002 By

The 18 year old, who currently plays for Mouscron – Spurs’ link club, admitted to a Belgium newspaper that a move was imminent once the 2 clubs agreed a fee.

"I have discovered a whole new world over there. They have proposed that I join their first-team squad immediately. I cannot let such an opportunity pass me by”

"Mouscron is renowned as a club with a very good set-up, but when you visit a complex like Tottenham's, you realise that the difference is still huge”

"I really loved it and I do not see what is preventing me from playing there by the start of the season”

If things go according to plan and a fee for the U21 Belgium player is agreed, the transfer could be secured by the beginning of next week.
