With solid if unremarkable business done so far this summer, and a Champions League season in prospect, TFF would expect Tottenham to be one of the more interested parties in the last couple of days of the window.<\/p>\n

And they have kicked off the week with the signing of a 17-year-old.<\/p>\n

Juan Pablo Gonzalez Velasco is an attacking midfielder from Colombia who has already made his debut for the senior national side. And Sky Sports<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

Velasco, who can operate through the middle as an attacking midfielder, or as a right winger, will join the U18s at Tottenham. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another more recent signing has spoken of his concern about transfer rumours linking him with a move away from Tottenham. <\/p>\n

The London Evening Standard<\/a> quotes Heung-Min Son, who says:<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to think about things happening outside the stadium. I just want to focus on playing football.<\/p>\n

“It’s not a good sign that transfer rumours are coming out, but I think it’s meaningful that those in Germany acknowledge me.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The same source<\/a>, which is regularly close to affairs at Tottenham, claims that Christian Eriksen is set to sign a new five year contract at the club.<\/p>\n

Still only 24 Eriksen has failed so far this season, to find the form that made him a Spurs fans favourite. But his value to the team over the last few years has been undisputable and he still merits a place in the starting eleven of many an onlooker.<\/p>\n

Eriksen has played 134 games for Tottenham, scoring 34 goals. At international level he’s hit 9 in 61 games for Denmark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
