John Bostock, the most sought after 16-year-old in the country, will complete his move from Crystal Palace to Tottenham tomorrow.
The White Hart Lane club are laying the foundations of the Juande Ramos era and Bostock, in a Sportsmail exclusive interview today, denies he is joining for financial reasons.

Tottenham are looking long term with their capture of Bostock, who will be fast-tracked into the senior squad for a pre-season trip to Spain but will then be nurtured in the reserve team next season.
The midfielder and his father - both Palace fans - have upset the club's chairman Simon Jordan by moving.
"I might get them to send their season tickets back," said Jordan. "Unfortunately, we are talking about pounds, shilling and pence when we should be talking about the development of a 16-year-old."
