Manchester United are now plotting a move for one of Tottenham’s exciting U17 strikers, with the youngster set to leave North London this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur’s U17 side showed exactly what they are made of once again this season, after they secured the Premier League Cup trophy for the second time in three years.
Indeed, Luca Williams-Barnett was impressive in the final against Charlton Athletic, bagging a hat-trick for his U17 side.
However, the latest reports suggest that another forward from Tottenham’s U17 ranks has caught the attention of a Premier League rival.

Manchester United eye Dexter Oliver transfer from Tottenham
The Lilywhite Rose reports on X (formerly Twitter) that Dexter Oliver is set to leave Tottenham Hotspur, with Manchester United attempting to sign him.
Oliver has been handed a two-year scholarship by Spurs, but the youngster is yet to put pen to paper. Manchester United are well aware of Oliver’s delay, and are looking to take advantage of it by attempting to bring him up north to join their ranks in Carrington.
The Europa League finalists are not the only ones interested in the teenager, with the Lilywhite rose also stating that Manchester City are monitoring the situation closely.

Man City join Man Utd in race for Tottenham’s Dexter Oliver
Dexter Oliver, a striker by trade, though also capable of playing across the front three and in midfield, impressed during Tottenham’s run to Premier League Cup glory.
The teenager scored a brace against Derby County in the under-17 Premier League Cup semi-final back in February.
It is rumoured that Oliver’s recent decision to sign with Roc Nation Sports back in March may be a contributing factor in his potential move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Manchester United and Man City sniff around for his signature.
The Red Devils are no strangers to securing promising young talents, having already poached Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi-Martin from Arsenal earlier this season under Ruben Amorim’s watch.
