Manchester City youngster Dan Batty has completed a switch to Tottenham.

The academy midfielder has been with the Blues since he was eight but has completed a move to Spurs. He has signed a contract until 2028.

The 18-year-old Stalybridge prospect is a creative player who will link up with the Tottenham academy as he plots a pathway into first team football. Batty has been a key player in various City age-groups and has been a key player for the Under-18s this season, scoring against Crystal Palace in the FA Youth Cup earlier this term.

The youngster was part of a triple signing for the Spurs Academy with all three deals confirmed on Tuesday, after the window closed at 11pm on Monday night. Spurs also signed midfielder Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny from Chelsea and centre back Luca Furnell-Gill from Liverpool. Both on deals until 2028.

The young Blues are top of the Under-18 Premier League northern section having lost just once this season. Spurs are sixth in the southern equivalent. City are in FA Youth Cup action on Tuesday night against Leeds.

Speaking about that game, coach Oliver Reiss said: "When I came here, we had the league and then the U18 Premier League Cup and then there's the FA Cup. So many cups! Everyone was talking about the FA Cup.

"I didn't know that this is the thing and now I know it and I like it. I want to bring it to the players because they have to be more in situations like this, under pressure.

"Sometimes you can play down a game so they are not nervous but here I think in terms of development and improving the players to make them more resilient in the future, don't make it smaller than it is. Make it big, make the pressure high, make them know that there are more eyes on them than in the other games. This is what they need to bring their abilities on the pitch under pressure and they cannot learn this enough."
