Tottenham are waiting for the final paperwork from Chelsea before announcing the capture of Jude Soonsup-Bell from their London rivals.
The teenage striker, who had entered the final six months of his contract at Stamford Bridge, has joined Spurs on a free transfer, although Chelsea will retain a sell-on fee for the striker, who joined their academy from Swindon aged nine.
Soonsup-Bell has signed a deal with Spurs until 2025, completing a medical on Monday, and will bolster their struggling Under-21 side for the remainder of the season before likely being sent out on loan in the summer.
Once considered one of the most exciting prospects in Europe, the 19-year-old made his first-team debut under Thomas Tuchel in the EFL Cup quarter-final against Brentford a little over a year ago but has struggled for minutes for the Blues' U21 side this term.

Elsewhere for Tottenham on deadline day, Djed Spence is undergoing a medical at Stade Rennais ahead of completing a loan move until the end of the season. The 21-year-old rejected offers from Atletico Madrid, Sassuolo and three Premier League clubs, believing there is the best chance of regular first-team football at Rennes because both their other right-backs are currently injured.
The deal does not include an option or obligation to buy at the end of the season. Tottenham have no plans to loan out young midfielders Pape Matar Sarr or Oliver Skipp before Tuesday’s 11pm deadline.
The young duo have struggled for minutes this season, with Antonio Conte preferring a midfield pairing of Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
But the Spurs head coach has made it clear how highly he rates Sarr, who made his full Premier League debut in the recent north London derby defeat to Arsenal, and wants to keep the 20-year-old Senegal international in the squad.
Skipp appears to have slipped behind Sarr in the midfield pecking order but is also rated by Conte, while Spurs also want to keep the 22-year-old academy graduate at the club to maintain their quota of homegrown players.
