Spurs starlet Willhoft-King agrees to join Man City in youth coup
Highly rated Tottenham Hotspur academy star Han Willhoft-King left Hotspur Way earlier this summer, and he has been linked with a move to Spurs’ Premier League rivals Manchester City.
John Wenham, owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, has expressed his source of distress as the 18-year-old has been linked with a move to Manchester City. He has also praised the agent of the teenager for lining up a move to Etihad Stadium.
Agent’s masterstroke?
The Cityzens have agreed on a deal to bring Willhoft-King to Manchester this summer, with the 18-year-old set to sign a two-year deal, per Fabrizio Romano. This comes after he turned down a contract offer from Spurs ahead of his release from White Hart Lane.
And Wenham, in an exclusive interview with the Tottenham News, gave his best wishes to the player for joining a club where he can continue to develop his skills. He said:
“Praise has to go to his agent because this is a fantastic move for the player. He spent a lot of time behind George Abbott and Tyrese Hall while with the Spurs. However, he was offered a new deal, but I don’t know whether that was to ensure the club got a compensation fee or because they genuinely wanted to keep him. He only changed his agent around a month ago, so this is a great start for them, and best of luck to him. It is a big shock, but hopefully he pushes on and becomes a real player with City.”
It is highly unlikely for Daniel Levy to let go of such a talented player, and his move to City would be a step forward, as this gives him an opportunity to develop around some of the most elite players in the country.
