Gifted Young Spurs Centre-Half Next Signing?

According to a report in The Mirror, United have moved to snap up the promising England U-19 star in time for the start of the new season.

The towering 18-year-old impressed at the European U-19 Championship earlier this month helping Noel Blake's side reach the semi-final.

It is said Leeds had to fight off a host of rival suitors to prise the defender away from White Hart Lane.

However, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is thought to have earmarked a big future for Caulker and the Barclays Premier League club will not allow him to leave on a permanent basis.

Caulker could make his Elland Road debut on Saturday when the Whites take on Derby in their opening game of the new campaign.
