Spurs eye transfer for Kion Etete after 17-year-old enjoys incredible trial

The 17-year-old has impressed on a week-long trial with Spurs – scoring twice for the Under-18s in a 5-3 win over West Ham.

Etete signed his first pro contract with the Magpies on his birthday in November.

The youngster has played four League Two matches this season, and six in all competitions, all coming from the bench.

His debut had come just weeks before, then-manager Harry Kewell handing him minutes in the Checkatrade Trophy against Newcastle United U21s.

According to the Daily Mail, Spurs will continue to track Etete's progress before deciding whether to make a permanent move for the starlet.

Tottenham have not brought in any new players since the arrival of Lucas Moura on deadline day in January 2018.

Fans have been frustrated by the lack of activity, as has manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs are now nine points off second-place Liverpool and just three ahead of fourth-place Manchester United having picked up just one point in their last three games.
