Tottenham Hotspur are set to complete the signing of Hearts teenage striker James Wilson on a loan deal until the end of the current season. The agreement includes an option for Tottenham to make the transfer permanent. This development sees Spurs secure the 18-year-old forward, effectively hijacking a potential move to North London rivals Arsenal. Arsenal had held discussions with Hearts over a similar loan agreement for Wilson, but Tottenham moved quickly to finalise terms.
Wilson, born in March 2007, has already made senior appearances for Hearts and earned a cap for the Scotland national team. He is expected to join Tottenham's development setup initially, with the club keen to integrate the promising striker. The transfer represents a significant deadline day acquisition for Tottenham.
