The best transfer talent straight outta nappies

1. John Bostock
Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan is doing his nut after a transfer tribunal said young midfielder Bostock could move to Spurs for £700,000. The 16-year-old midfielder has been chased by the likes of Barcelona and Chelsea since he was 14 and is tipped to be one of the best players of his generation.
