According to a report from the Daily Mail, West Brom are desperate to keep hold of Rekeem Harper, and are currently in talks with the midfielder regarding the possibility of a new deal.

Tottenham are leading the Premier League’s current top six the race to sign the 18-year-old Baggies starlet, according to a report from The Sun on Sunday (3/3; page 68), and with his contract expiring in the summer, it seems as though Darren Moore will be facing an uphill battle to keep him at the Hawthorns.

Harper has made 18 senior appearances for West Brom, and he has really impressed when he has played, displaying a certain level of maturity and quality that defies his tender years.

The problem for the Baggies is that with so many elite clubs after the teenager, it might be difficult to persuade him that his future lies in the Black Country.

West Brom will be able to offer him more chances of regular first-team action, however, and that might just be enough to tip the scales in their favour.
