SPURS have brought in 15-year Charlie Allen on trial as they look for the new Christian Eriksen, reports claim.
The Northern Irish attacking midfielder is one of the hottest prospects in the UK.
Both Manchester clubs, Liverpool and Leicester have all been keeping close tabs on the youngster but Tottenham appear to be leading the race, Football Insider claims.
The teenager became the youngest ever debutant for Linfield when he made his bow in April against Coleraine.
And the club's academy director Glenn Ferguson described Allen as “one of the brightest prospects I have ever seen”.
PAULO DYBALA wants bigger wages than Paul Pogba to join Manchester United.
The Juventus forward, who has also been linked with Spurs, has been offered in a swap deal for Romelu Lukaku but expects an eye-watering £350,000-a-week salary.
Juve have told Dybala he will not be first choice this season — and are happy for him to go.
Pogba had to take a 25 per cent cut on his £300,000-a-week deal after United missed out on the Champions League.
That is the club’s policy but Dybala and his reps still asked Old Trafford chiefs to top Pogba’s wages when contract talks began this week.

KYLE WALKER-PETERS is on a mission to step up and become a Premier League star.
And it is one many thought would be impossible after his nightmare for Tottenham in the Nou Camp last December.
His slip allowed Ousmane Dembele to give Barcelona an early lead in a Champions League group clash that Spurs could not afford to lose.
Fortunately, though, it was not fatal as the club’s academy product regained his composure and Lucas Moura’s late leveller earned them a last-16 spot.
Spurs famously ended up reaching the Champions League final, but that night at the Nou Camp is not one Walker-Peters, 22, will forget easily.
He said: “I don’t know if you’ve seen it but as soon as he scores, I lie on the floor. I just wanted the ground to open and swallow me up.
“It was the worst feeling but even though the noise was amazing, the first voice I heard was Danny Rose’s. He told me, ‘Don’t worry, stay calm’.
“The thing is, before that I had been playing well. I remember going back to my position for the restart and Harry Kane telling me, ‘Don’t worry, you’re playing well, you’ve got this.’
“Then shortly after that, they clipped another ball up to my head and I was the last man again.
“I remember thinking to myself, ‘I have to win this header or that could be my game over, you know, as a confidence thing.’
“But I not only won it, I absolutely smashed the ball and player. I went right through him…
“After that my confidence shot back and I ended up having one of the most touches of any player in the game.
“That day helped me learn about myself. You see mistakes like that happen all the time.
“But I don’t know how many times you see players recovering from it. I thought it was going to be a difficult night for me after that.
“You know what, I recovered and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be.
“A lot of people probably thought I was going to crumble after making that mistake. Instead, I did the opposite. I gained strength from it. I used it to improve.”
WELL it might only be pre-season but Spurs fans won't care.
They have only gone and got their hands on a trophy!
Mauricio Pochettino's men drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup Final.
