YOUNG Ebbsfleet United midfielder Shilow Tracey has left the National League South leaders to join Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur.

The Fleet academy product, 17, had attracted plenty of interest with clubs including Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Reading and West Ham keeping tabs on his progress.

Tracey, who was still to make a senior appearance for Ebbsfleet, had spent time on trial with Spurs and was taken on the club’s development squad tour of Florida where he scored twice in three games.

The north London club have won the race for Tracey’s signature and he will now join up with Spurs’ academy in Mexico to take part in the Copa Chivas, competing against Benfica, Boca Juniors and River Plate.

Fleet vice-chairman Peter Varney said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for Shilow and we are proud of the fact that our youth academy is producing quality young players just one year after we set it up.

“I would like to thank Spurs for the professional manner in which they have handled the transfer negotiations. I must also recognise the work done with Shilow by Daryl McMahon and his staff in our youth academy.”
