Newcastle director Dennis Wise is said to have negotiated
the deal for the 15-year-old, beating Arsenal, Portsmouth and Tottenham
Hotspur to the young forward.
Spear has been a regular for
Plymouth's under-16s and was ready to play in the reserves last season,
but was not yet 15 - the minimum age for player registration - at the
time.
Now that the club battle appears to be over, there are
also two countries fighting for Spear's loyalty. While he is primarily
English, a Scottish grandmother could see him eligible for the Tartan
Army, where he may be likely to get more exposure early on.
The
Magpies are said to be paying £1 million for the player in total, with
installments being paid based on number of appearances.
I've never seen him before, but does that mean he also looks more like a football fan than a player?
never hear before all of a sudden next rooney come out.. interesting..
Only time will tell if he can be the next Rooney.
