  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The Spurs starlet has decided to stay despite attracting interest from a host of other clubs including Harry Kane's Bayern Munich, according to Football Insider. Ajax, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain were also keen on the teenager who has now become one of the highest earners in Spurs’ academy due to his new contract.

• WHAT OLUSESI SAID

  He told the club's media: "It's obviously a great achievement to sign a new deal, it shows the club's faith, so I'm happy. It's always nice to be reassured, just got to work hard and keep pushing. Crazy season so far, starting off with the Under-21s for a bit, then probably around I think it was the Man City game – first time being on the bench – and ever since this it's been crazy. Like a dream."
