TWTD understands the Blues have offered trialist left-back Max Hudson a contract.
The 17-year-old, who has been with Southern League Division One Central side Hertford this season, has played in Town’s last three U23s games, including yesterday's 3-0 home victory over Sheffield United, and has done well enough to win a professional contract with the aim of becoming a regular member of the development squad next season.
Hudson was with Tottenham’s academy as a schoolboy and as an U15 spent time at an England training camp, but wasn’t offered a scholarship last summer.
Town boss Kieran McKenna is likely to be familiar with Hudson having been the U18s coach at Spurs while Hudson was playing for younger age groups.
It’s believed a number of EFL clubs had taken note of Hudson’s performances for Hertford with the Blues inviting him to spend time at Playford Road after watching him in a trial match for young players looking to return to the professional game.
