Tottenham confirm signing of Manchester City attacking midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur have secured another young talent, this time from Manchester City. The latest arrival is Daniel Batty, an 18-year-old midfielder.
Tottenham Hotspur’s ongoing youth-driven approach
One of Tottenham Hotspur’s recent strategies has been the development of young players, whether through their own academy or by acquiring promising talents from other clubs.
This season alone, we have already seen youngsters like Mikey Moore, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray earn playing time under Ange Postecoglou.
The club has continued to prioritise youth development, and on deadline day, they once again reinforced this strategy by securing the signing of an 18-year-old from Manchester City.
Tottenham complete the signing of Manchester City’s Daniel Batty
It is official, Spurs have now completed the signing of Manchester City midfielder Daniel Batty, with the 18-year-old signed a contract that is set to keep him in north London until the summer of 2028 and will link up with the academy set-up rather than head to the Tottenham first-team under Ange Postecoglou.
He now joins Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel as winter transfer window signings for Tottenham Hotspur. This move is seen as another step in ensuring that the club continues to build a foundation for the future.
A statement on the official Spurs site read: “We are delighted to announce the signing of Dan Batty from Manchester City.
“The 18-year-old attacking midfielder joins our Academy, signing a contract which will run until 2028.”
What Daniel Batty’s signing means for Tottenham
Daniel Batty, 18, has not made any senior appearances for Manchester City; however, he has featured ten times at youth level.
His ability to contribute in midfield suggests that he has the potential to develop into a creative force, though he is unlikely to make an immediate impact at Spurs.
It is evident that Tottenham view Batty as a long-term investment rather than a short-term solution, with the midfielder expected to continue his development before being introduced to senior football.
