Batty, who joined City's academy at the Under-8 level, has progressed through the ranks. 

He is seen as a promising talent but is not yet ready for senior football as yet. 

Batty will be the second teenager to join Spurs this month, following Min-hyeok Yang, who has gone to QPR on loan. 

Additionally, Spurs are negotiating to sign Bayern Munich's 19-year-old forward Mathys Tel in a deal potentially worth around £50M.
