Tottenham snap up former Bees youngster

Former Brentford youngster Juan Pablo Gonzalez Velasco has joined Tottenham.

The 17-year-old midfielder, who is Colombian born but has a Spanish passport, had a trial with Burnley earlier in the summer.

But he has opted to join Spurs after playing 22 minutes for their Under-18s in a victory over Aston Villa on Saturday.

Gonzalez Velasco is a Colombia Under-17 international, who has also spent time with the Under-20 squad.
