Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that there will be a tribute to Harry Pitman, in the North London side's FA Cup match at home to Burnley tomorrow.
Harry's brother had revealed that the 16 year old was a huge Tottenham fan.
Harry was fatally stabbed on Primrose Hill on New Year's Eve and died just before midnight - becoming the 21st young person to be killed in violent crime in London in 2023
In a statement sent to Greatest Hits Radio, the club said that "‘Our fans have picked up on the family’s call for an applause on the 16th minute, during which we shall put Harry’s image on our big screens with the family’s blessing.
"The Club will liaise directly with the family in terms of wider support we can provide at this unimaginably difficult time."
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has also paid tribute - saying "You don't even want to be thinking about the circumstances of the family and again where we are as a society... the fact that these things still happen like this and young lives are lost for absolutely no reason.
"I couldn't even contemplate the grief and the pain of what the family are going through.
"I've always felt that football club are more than just the embodiment of what we do. In sport they are an extended community and an extended family for people.
"If it even gives them the smallest crumb of comfort then it's the least we can do and our fans can do. It's just tragic and inconceivable that people and families still have to suffer this grief."
Three people have been arrested and bailed so far, but police have now released images of two people they're keen to identify and speak to - which you can see below.
The officer leading the investigation said there was "no racial or gang element" to the stabbing and it appeared to be a "spontaneous fight".
Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Grogan said: "We are working at pace to identify and speak to everyone in the immediate vicinity of the murder, and to that end, I have issued two images and am asking anyone who can name the people pictured to get in touch.
"Similarly, if you see yourself pictured, please contact us without delay. It may be that you have information that could help us, or that we can eliminate you from our enquiries.
"Harry's family is devastated. He was a vibrant young man who should have had his life ahead of him. We continue to support them as they struggle to come to terms with their loss."
Three teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 18, arrested over the the murder have been bailed pending further investigation.
