A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have given their thoughts on midfield prodigy Alfie Devine joining Spurs.

After being released by Liverpool, the 15-year-old joined Wigan, where he developed into a great prospect, and featured for their Under-23s last season.

Devine also featured in their impressive FA Youth Cup run last term where they beat Spurs 2-0, and has been capped for England at Under-16 level.

Earlier this month, however, Wigan entered administration, just weeks after the club changed owners, and the Daily Mail claimed that the Latics were looking to sell players to raise funds.

On Tuesday, Wigan confirmed that Devine had joined Tottenham, with Wigan Today claiming the Latics have earned a fee in the region of £300,000.

Carragher, whose son James plays for the Latics’ academy and came through the ranks like Devine, recently described the youngster as “top class”.

Though Devine is not expected to be in the Tottenham first team for some time, some Spurs fans are still delighted about snapping him up for such a low reported fee.

Below is some of the social media reaction to the youngster’s arrival in North London:
