Luke Shaw

Tottenham are monitoring the form of Southampton left back Luke Shaw and are believed to be preparing an early bid for the youngster once the summer transfer window opens.
The 17-year-old has established himself as a first team regular for the Saints this season and is already being tipped for a big future.
Several clubs have been linked with an interest in the player including Arsenal and Manchester United but Spurs believe they could steal a march on their rivals with an early move.
While comparisons have been drawn with former Southampton left footer Gareth Bale, it is believed Daniel Levy does not see the deal as in any way linked with the Welshman's future.
Head coach Andre Villas-Boas has not been convinced by the performances of Benoit Assou-Ekotto since the Cameroon defender returned from injury and Shaw is viewed as an ideal long-term replacement.
Levy is thought to be confident of agreeing an initial £8m fee with add-ons potentially taking the deal up to £15m.

Admittedly I've not watched a lot of him but Southampton do pull out good youngsters. We may have good dealings with them over Bale in the past, but alas so may Arsenal.

Having consistent EPL experience at just 17 is great but is he really ready to step up to the challenge? Makes me wonder what would happen about Zeki Fryers though, I don't know if he's anywhere near ready for the first team either.

the kid will be a star, i'm pretty sure. he's a chelsea fan though and that's where i think he'll end up. i still have high hopes for rose though and hope he's not written off just yet.

 

[Misfit]

Would be a great signing. Young, massive potential. Not another Bale though imo. If we signed him and only ended up with a LB half as good as ACole then that would bloody well do me.

If we did sign him, and assuming SCBC stay up, it would be a no-brainer to loan him right back to them next season.

 

[tobi]

He signed a new contract this season, I presume there's a clause in there.

 

[not_tenth-again]

Oh crap the secret is out..... we're no show now

 

[Kalim]

i dont think he'll turn out to be the next Bale, but I do think he'll turn out to be the left back most of us thought Bale would be.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I would LOVE this to be true

Oh no, that sort of excitement only cums out when we signed special players.

Can a 17-year-old guy drive in UK?

Technically he didn't sign it, I don't think he can sign a full professional one until he turns 18 in the summer

 

[himel420]

only 17 and an established player for a premier league club who has a record of playing good football and producing players like bale, walcott, ox...sign him up
