According to reports from The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have sent scouts to run the rule over Lens defender Taylor Moore ahead of the summer transfer window. 

The 18-year-old is a regular for England at youth international level, picking up 19 caps between the U17 and U19 age groups, but has taken the unusual route of completing his footballing education in France – joining the academy set up at Lens back in 2009.
