Pedroza claims Spurs switch

20-year-old striker Antonio Pedroza claims he has sealed a move to Tottenham.

The England born striker, currently residing in Mexico, previously had trials with Chelsea and Arsenal.

He was reported to be in the frame for the England Under-20 World Cup squad but failed to make the 21-man cut.

His contract with Jaguares expires this summer and despite his current club wanting him to sign a new deal, has opted to join the North London side.

“I can announce that my transfer to Tottenham has been arranged,” Pedroza said.

“I didn’t want to renew my contract with Jaguares because I knew that there was a chance to be transferred to a team in the Premier League.

“I am very happy and satisfied having played for an important team like Jaguares. Now I have the chance to make a dream come true to play in Europe.

“I have spoken with the officials of Jaguares and they have confirmed to me that everything is OK for me to leave and be transferred to Tottenham.

“The only thing that is left to resolve is something related to my journey to England.”

The signing of Pedroza will be Spurs second transfer after the club moved for Brad Fridel.
