Spurs on the verge of landing Palace wonderkid
10:15am Tuesday 13th May 2008
Comments (1)TOTTENHAM look set to sign Crystal Palace's exciting teenage midfielder John Bostock, according to reports.
The 16-year-old has been billed in some quarters as the country's brightest prospect, and Spurs appear to be the favourites to land the attacker, although it will set the club back at least £5million.
Bostock is the England under-17 captain, and having grown up in London as a Palace fan, Tottenham would appear to be an attractive option.
The youngster made his debut for the Eagles last October, at just 15-years-old but has struggled to hold down a regular place in Neil Warnock's side.
Spurs' Director of football Damian Comolli has acted swiftly after Bostock's schoolboy contract expired last week.

You might want to note that he's played a holding midfielder role in all 4 games that I have seen him, and not an attacking midfield.
