Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of teenage defender Ashley Phillips from Blackburn Rovers.
The 18-year-old has made the move to North London for a reported fee of around £3m, according to The Athletic.
He has signed a five-year deal with the club, keeping him at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium until 2028.
Phillips made his breakthrough into the Blackburn team last season, becoming the club’s fourth-youngest ever player when he made his debut in August 2022 going on to make another 14 first-team appearances and winning the Championship ‘Apprentice of the Season’ award.
He also captained the England U18s in the International Tournament of Lisbon this summer.
