Much of Tottenham Hotspur's transfer window was focused on bringing in Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon and while that was eventually concluded on deadline day, the addition of Jude Soonsup-Bell from Chelsea could prove to be Fabio Paratici's best piece of business.

The teenage striker was confirmed as a Spurs player on a deal until 2025 early on deadline day and will likely join up with the academy side, with the view of pushing into the first team in the near future.

The England U18 international had already made his first-team debut for Chelsea, appearing in their 2-0 win over Brentford in the Carabao Cup last season.

However, it is his record with the youth sides at Stamford Bridge which makes him such an exciting addition by the Lilywhites this month, as he boasts 23 goals and two assists in just 25 appearances for the U18s.

Despite only turning 19 this month, Soonsup-Bell has also been a regular with the U21s at Chelsea, scoring five goals in 40 appearances, so there seems little to suggest that he can't break into the first team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the future.

Chelsea U18 coach Ed Brand was full of praise for the Englishman after he scored the winning goal in the U18 Premier League Cup against Fulham last season.

He said: “Jude is a top goalscorer. He showed great composure to get the ball out of his feet and finish well when he got his chance.

“He is a fantastic player at this level and he should be really proud.”

Considering that Harry Kane could be on his way out of the club at the end of the season, it was vital that Spurs looked to recruit prolific strikers for the future, and Soonsup-Bell certainly fits that mould.

While Porro will no doubt be a regular starter upon joining Antonio Conte's side, he joins a squad that is already well-stocked at right wing-back, despite Djed Spence and Matt Doherty's loan moves away on deadline day, whereas there seems to be a real lack of striking options at the north London club.

Therefore, if Soonsup-Bell can follow in the footsteps of Kane by progressing from Spurs' academy into the first team, then his signing could prove to be a masterclass by Paratici in the future. Indeed, it has set their future up brightly.
