Tottenham Beat Arsenal to Hearts Prospect James Wilson in Reported Loan With Buy Option

Spurs pulled ahead by offering a paid loan with a purchase clause, with a medical reported to be in progress.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Spurs have agreed a deal with Hearts for the 18-year-old to join on loan to the end of the season with an option to buy.
  • Fabrizio Romano says the agreement is in place, the medical is happening, and formal steps are expected to follow soon.
  • Daily Record reports Tottenham agreed a significant initial loan fee and negotiated potential summer terms, with the clause described as an option rather than an obligation.
  • Arsenal had opened talks seeking a development‑squad arrangement described as a trial or under‑21 loan, which Spurs are reported to have hijacked.
