England's Under-19 defender, Ashley Phillips confirmed his move to Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur FC is delighted to announce the completion of signing England youth international, Ashley Phillips from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.

The 18-year-old, Ashley Phillips agreed with the terms and has signed a five-year deal with Tottenham.

Ashley Phillips has become Tottenham's fourth signing in this summer transfer window.

Last month, Spurs thought they had agreed to a deal with Rovers worth £3 million up-front and a further £2m in adds-ons, and Phillips travelled to London for a medical.

No rival club has bid for Phillips in the intervening period, however, and the 18-year-old.

Phillips is considered a young player for the future — he made his Championship debut only 12 months ago, playing eight times in the League last season — and his arrival is not expected to impact Spurs' pursuit of at least one new senior center-half.

Ashley started his youth career at National League North side Curzon Ashton before joining Blackburn as a 12-year-old in 2017.

In 2021-22, he went on to make 11 appearances in Premier League 2 and spent most of the campaign training with the first-team squad, making the bench for their FA Cup Third Round tie at Wigan Athletic in January 2022.

Spurs, who conceded 63 goals in the Premier League last season, are edging closer to the signing of Wolfsburg centre-back Micky van de Ven but have cooled their interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba. Tosin Adarabioyo of Fulham and former loanee Clement Lenglet remain targets.
