Tottenham have signed Colombia youth international Juan Pablo Gonzalez Velasco.

The 17-year-old left Brentford's academy when it closed earlier this summer and has joined Tottenham's U18s group.

The winger made his debut for Spurs in a 5-1 win over Aston Villa at Hotspur Way at the weekend, coming on as a second-half substitute.

Sky sources reported earlier this summer that Velasco had been on trial at Burnley and was also reportedly of interest to Chelsea, Southampton and Fulham's academies.

Spurs are keen to add promising talent to their academy and manager Mauricio Pochettino is noted for bringing young players through the ranks.
