Arsenal approached Hearts regarding a loan move for Wilson over the weekend, but Spurs have moved quickly to hijack the transfer talks.
Wilson is a signing for the academy, with Spurs opting to not add to their first-team squad before Monday’s 7pm deadline.
Wilson is enjoying a burgeoning reputation in Scotland, having last season broken into the first-team squad with six goals and three assists over 32 appearances - of which many were off the bench.
He form caught the eye of Scotland manager Steve Clarke, who in May 2024 made Wilson his country's youngest-ever debutant when he came on as a substitute against Greece aged 18 years and 17 days.
First-team minutes have been harder to come by for Wilson this season, in large part due to the form of Lawrence Shankland and Claudio Braga spearheading a Scottish Premiership title charge.
Hearts are currently six points clear of Celtic and Rangers as they target a first league title in 66 years.
