Teenager John Bostock confirmed today that he has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur from Crystal Palace.

"I am definitely ready to make this move and Spurs is the team I wanted to join," said the 16-year-old midfielder, who has played for England at youth level and made his debut last season.

"I feel this is a club with a great future and this is where I want to be to develop my potential and improve as a player."

Spurs and Palace are discussing terms for Bostock, who has been valued at £5 million, but a tribunal will decide a fee if nothing is agreed.

Tottenham's sporting director Damien Comolli said: "We are very pleased that John has decided to join us.

"We know he has the talent but we also know he is only 16 and so we will not rush him. He will have time to develop and will be working within a very talented development squad."
