BRIGHTON, Huddersfield and Celtic are in a three-way tussle for Spurs' Josh Onomah, SunSports understands.

Onomah, 20, played a key role in England’s Under-20s winning the World Cup and will look to continue his momentum with more first-team football next season.

Premier League new boys Brighton and Huddersfield are keen to offer Onomah top flight experience next term.

But Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers can trump those offers with the chance to play in the Champions League.

The debate at Spurs' training ground continues about Onomah's best position, with Pochettino using the youngster in a wide role.

However, Young Lions boss Paul Simpson utilised him in a central midfield role, and his commanding performances in South Korea have put a host of clubs on red alert.

It will be a big decision for the midfielder and his advisers to make, but Pochettino will want assurances of game time if the kid continues his development elsewhere next season.

Onomah started three games for Spurs last term, and scored in the EFL Cup win at home against Gillingham.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton will hope to use his connections and close relationship with his former club to convince Pochettino the Amex is the best place for Onomah next term.

Huddersfield coach David Wagner also begins the task of bolstering his squad after leading the Terriers to promotion back to England's top flight for the first time in 45 years.
