George Feeney is reportedly on the verge of completing a move to Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur from Glentoran FC.
According to a report by Football Insider, George Feeney has been the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur for several months. The 16-year-old attacking sensation is on the cusp of joining the North London club from Glentoran FC after the two parties sealed the agreement over a move for him ahead of the summer transfer window.
Who is George Feeney?
George Feeney is one of the brightest young prospects in the United Kingdom. A native of Newport, the teenage sensation is the son of former Northern Irish international Warren Feeney and the grandson of Warren Feeney Sr. Meanwhile, the youngster has spent his formative years in Northern Ireland, rising through the ranks at Glentoran FC before breaking into the first-team squad last year.
Feeney’s father handed him his first-team debut, although he has lost his job as the Glentoran FC manager. Meanwhile, the 16-year-old wonderkid has turned out ten times thus far for the Northern Irish club, scoring one goal in just 168 minutes of game time. Meanwhile, the young attacker’s progress at Glentoran FC has not gone unnoticed.
Several well-known clubs have shown interest in Feeney, with a move to the Premier League on the cards. The young striker’s next move will likely be to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the North London giants sealing the agreement to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham interested
Tottenham’s interest in George Feeney is understandable. The North London giants have focused on a youth-driven project in the last few years, especially with Ange Postecoglou looking to bring his team’s average age down. Tottenham thus signed Alejo Veliz last summer.
Meanwhile, several young prospects have emerged on Tottenham’s radar, with recent reports linking the North London outfit with prodigies like JP Chermont. Before anyone else arrives, Feeney will join Tottenham, with the club sealing the agreement for his signature.
Tottenham and Glentoran are on the same page, with the former convincing the youngster that North London is the ideal destination for him. So, we will see the 16-year-old sensation arriving at the Premier League club in the coming weeks.
