The Ivory Coast U17 international scored 8 goals in 3 games in this summer's U17 World Cup, including a very impressive hat-trick against Brazil.

Naturally, a lot of top teams were interested in him but Tottenham have moved first.

Well even at 16 he is still better than all Spur's shitty selection of strikers lol.

well it isnt much of a debate is it?
i just hope he doesnt become lost at spurs like so many players.

The new Giovanni Dos Santos

'Arry was just willing to sign anyone who wouldn't say no to him

Where's that laundry list of players who turned down Tottenham last season......

that's a list of 40+ by now

This pisses me off greatly.

Meh so much Tottenham hate.

With good reason

must admit that kids got a hell of a name

Tottenham have a pretty poor track record with talented youngsters.

They had Adel Taraabt and didn't play him. He did very well on loan at QPR and he still couldn't get into Spurs' team. He transferred to QPR and now could be leaving for £10,000,000+ to a big-ish European club.

Then there was Giovani dos Santos. Did very well when he broke into Barcelona's first team, but didn't get a game at Spurs. Now plays in Spain and could be joining Sevilla.

Gareth Bale was very close to going on loan to Nottingham Forest in the Championship in 09/10 before coming good as a left winger. He played at left back for Spurs before that and went something like 24 games without being on the winning side.

John Bostock was supposedly the next best thing out of their academy, but did he get a game? Nope.

Supposedly Coulibaly is going to go straight into the first team squad at Spurs but I'd be quite surprised if he does.
