Spurs have agreed a deal to sign Boast from Leeds, per The Athletic, with a seven-figure sum agreed for the 16-year-old. He is behind Harry Gray in the pecking order, with Gray regarded as one of the best young strikers of his generation in the country. Spurs, of course, signed Harry's brother Archie in a £40 million ($55m) deal last summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Boast turned 16 last month and is seen as a No.9 who is capable of leading the line on his own. He made his debut for the Under-21s at the age of 15 and has already played for the England Under-16s, while also scoring a multitude of goals for the U18s.
DID YOU KNOW?
Boast was seen as one of Leeds' most promising prospects and the club had planned to show him a pathway to the first-team. Instead, he has opted to make a move to north London.
