Sam Long13 January 2016

Ebbsfleet United have confirmed Shilow Tracey has completed a move to Tottenham for an undisclosed fee.

The 17-year-old midfielder has been monitored by Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace and West Ham in recent weeks but has now committed his future to Spurs.

Shilow scored twice in three trial appearances for the north Londoners' development squad during a tour of Florida, which was enough to convince the Premier League outfit of the teenager's potential.

Fleet vice-chairman Peter Varney told the National League South club's official website: “This is a fantastic opportunity for Shilow and we are proud of the fact that our youth academy is producing quality young players just one year after we set it up.

“I would like to thank Spurs for the professional manner in which they have handled the transfer negotiations.

"I must also recognise the work done with Shilow by Daryl McMahon and his staff in our youth academy.”

A club statement added: "Everyone involved with the Fleet would like to wish Shilow the very best of luck as he embarks on a career with the Premier League club."
