Tottenham are swooping for former Arsenal youngster Ollie Tanner.

The London Evening Standard says Tottenham have had a six-figure bid accepted by Lewes for non-League star Tanner, but a deal is yet to be agreed with the player.

The winger, 19, is also wanted by other Premier League and Championship clubs but Spurs have agreed a package worth around £100,000, which includes a sell-on fee of between 10 and 20 per cent for the Isthmian League Premier Division club.

Tanner has been training with Spurs' development squad for the past fortnight, impressing coaches, but is yet to decide on his next club.

The teenager - formerly on the books at Arsenal and Charlton - picked up an injury in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Cray Wanderers, which could complicate a move.

Tanner has been watched by Spurs academy chief Chris Powell, having been recommended by Lewes boss Tony Russell.

Brighton are understood to have had an offer rejected that would have seen Tanner remain at Lewes on loan for the rest of the season.
