Tottenham are reportedly having to fend off the attention of Real Madrid and Barcelona for two of their most exciting young players.

Alex Pritchard and Shaquille Coulthirst caught the eye of the Spanish ginats while playing in this season's NextGen Series - the youth football equivalent of the Champions League.

Pritchard is an attacking midfielder who is making a name for himself in the Under-21 Premier League, having already scored three times and supplied an additional three assists in the opening seven games.

Coulthirst starred in the NextGen match against Barcelona, scoring a hat-trick, with Pritchard grabbing the other goal in 4-1 win.
