Manchester City are pushing forward in their pursuit of one of Tottenham\u2019s brightest academy stars, with talks progressing over a deal that could see a highly-rated 16-year-old make the switch from North London to the Etihad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> have some bright academy prospects within their youth ranks. This season, we have seen Mikey Moore come through the ranks, earning a few senior appearances for the Spurs first team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In fact, back in May, Spurs U17s got their hands on the Premier League Cup trophy for the second time in three years, and as such, a few of their youngsters have caught the attention of other sides in England.<\/p>\n

We reported a month ago that Manchester United had their eyes on Dexter Oliver<\/a>, who is in Tottenham\u2019s Under-17 team.<\/p>\n

The teenager was handed a new two-year deal by Spurs but refused to sign the contract, hence sparking interest from not just United but fellow Manchester rivals, Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Dexter Oliver\u2019s development and Spurs future in doubt<\/p>\n

Dexter Oliver is a centre-forward who is also capable of playing on the right and left in attack and also in midfield.<\/p>\n

The youngster did impress in the U17s run to Premier League<\/a> Cup glory, scoring a brace against Derby County in the semi-final back in February.<\/p>\n

Of course, while Tottenham would not want to lose a youngster to a fellow big six rival, it looks the teenager himself is open to leaving N17, having turned down a contract extension.<\/p>\n
