According to All Nigeria Soccer, Bournemouth have won the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur youngster Ferdinand Okoh.
It’s claimed that Okoh was told recently that he wouldn’t be offered a scholarship to become a full-time Under-18 player for Tottenham next season.
That resulted in the teenager looking for a new club, and he went on trial with Bournemouth as well as Championship side Stoke City to try and impress.
Now, Okoh has allegedly picked a move to Bournemouth, where he will sign a two-year scholarship. He will join up with them for the start of the 2020-21 season.
Just over a year ago, Okoh was in the youth ranks at West Ham United, but he was snapped up by Tottenham in what looked like an exciting move.
One Forever West Ham blogger felt that the club would regret letting Okoh leave, believing that he could have made an impression at the London Stadium.
Yet Tottenham seemingly haven’t seen enough from Okoh to keep him around, and he will now head to Bournemouth.
After leaving two Premier League clubs in recent times, he will hope for more success on the South Coast.
