The teenager will link up with the Tottenham squad ahead of the start of next season and Spurs fans will be hoping that he can go on to fulfil his potential under the watchful eyes of Ange Postecoglou.

It is worth noting that two rumoured Tottenham targets, Antonio Nusa and Roony Bardghji, have also made the list, with the Norwegian being ranked in 11th place and the Swede in 13th.
