Tottenham are ready to go to war with West Ham and Fulham over Charlton starlet Diego Poyet in the summer.

The promising 18-year-old, son of Sunderland boss Gus, has caught the eye of a number of Premier League managers during the struggling Championship side’s recent FA Cup run.

The Addicks made it to the quarter finals before a defeat to League One outfit Sheffield United that cost popular boss Chris Powell his job.

And with the club rock bottom of the Championship and staring down the barrel of relegation back to the third tier it is believed they will struggle to hold onto the England Under-17 man.

And now he could follow in his dad’s footsteps and move to Tottenham at the end of the season, according to a report in the Daily Express.

But the north London club will have to fight off interest from the two other sides in the capital as well as Barcelona and Inter Milan who are said to be keeping tabs on the starlet.

Meanwhile Tottenham are licking their wounds this morning after crashing to a 3-1 home defeat to Benfica in the Europa League on Thursday night.
