Tottenham and Chelsea are competing for the new rising star of African football.
Nigerian striker Sani Emmanuel has had trials at Chelsea who were impressed by the 17 year-old.
But so were Tottenham, where the player voted the best player in tournament by FIFA in the world Under-17 championships in Nigeria earlier this season, was offered an extended stay.
Emmanuel plays for the My People football club in Nigeria and had a brief spell with Swedish club Bodens BK.
Tottenham appear to have the edge in the race to sign Emmanuel and rather than ask for a transfer fee, the My People club want a long-term relationship with the club Emmanuel joins.
It will mean trials for promising players and donations of kit and equipment.
