Harry Redknapp has reportedly moved into the transfer market early
Harry Redknapp has already pulled off the transfer coup of the summer, sources have told ESPNsoccernet, by snatching Barcelona youngster Cristian Ceballos from under the noses of Chelsea.
Ceballos, 16, was hailed as Barcelona's new superstar four years ago
when he became an internet sensation, featuring in a video juggling a
ball with Ronaldinho.
However, after a falling out, Barca agreed to release Ceballos, an
attacking midfielder, on a free transfer and he was taken to Chelsea for
a two week trial.
Ceballos trained at Cobham predominately with Chelsea's youth side, but
also trained with Carlo Ancelotti's first-team. In a shock move, he has
now reportedly signed a three-year contract at White Hart Lane.
Sources close to the player said: "The boy captained Barca's Under-17's
and here we have a proper player, potentially one of the greats if he
develops as people think he might.
"He went to Chelsea for two weeks and trained for three days with the
first-team before a Champions League game such was the impression he
made, but for some strange reason no one seemed to make a decision about
him.
"Now, he has signed a three-year contract with Spurs and Harry Redknapp
has a player who will be in his first-team within a year."
Anyone know anything about this young fella?
