Highly-rated 13 year-old Posh goalkeeper wins England call-up as Premier League clubs monitor his progress
Sam Proctor, Peterborough United’s under 14 goalkeeper, has won a call-up to an under 15 England training camp.
Proctor, who is only 13, has been the subject of multiple bids of £150k and more from Premier League clubs.
Initial reports suggesing Proctor had been sold were inaccurate as he remains at Posh.
When Posh are confirmed as an Academy 2 club, hopefully in time for next season, they will be entitled to charge a higher fee.
Proctor, who hails from Boston, has been at the Posh Academy since he was eight. He was originall an outfield player.
He will link up with the England squad at St George’s Park between December 19/21.
Posh Academy director Kieran Scarff said: “Sam is a lovely lad, very grounded. I’m thrilled for him, his parents and the Academy. It’s a very proud moment for his family.
“England have watched Sam a number of times. The camp will be a great experience for him. He’s a fully focused young man with a great attitude a real commitment to what he’s doing. He works with the older goalkeepers.
“Getting international call-ups is great for the Academy. It gets us in the public eye.”
Flynn Clarke recently won a call-up to the Scotland Under 19.
