Wilson joins Spurs on loan with an option to buy and is expected to play for the under-21s team.
The youngster became Scotland’s youngest-ever debutant when he made his maiden international appearance last March, eclipsing a 138-year record for the national team.
The 18-year-old has already made 45 senior appearances for Hearts, scoring five goals. He has played just 78 minutes of football in the Scottish top flight this season.
