Ange Postecoglou unveiled as new Spurs boss in July
Tottenham are expected to finalise the signing of highly-rated Blackburn Rovers centre-back Ashley Phillips by the end of the week, according to reports. Spurs looked set to conclude the deal in July before the transfer hit an unexpected snag when the Championship club changed their demands at the eleventh hour.

That said, the 18-year-old starlet is expected to be a signing for the future and not one that will immediately be part of first-team plans for the new Premier League season.
Phillips made eight appearances for Rovers in the Championship last season and is considered to be a player with a huge future.
He has represented Wales U16s and England at U17, U18 and U19 level following a switch of international allegiance.
Tottenham were set to wrap up the signing for around £5million with £2m of that figure expected to be made up of add-ons.
