Will Lankshear set for Championship loan – Five clubs in the race

Latest reports reveal that Tottenham Hotspur are set to loan out young striker Will Lankshear with Championship clubs circling.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to trim their squad

While Tottenham Hotspur have yet to make any further signings since securing Antonin Kinsky early in the window, they have been focused on managing their existing squad, with several young players securing moves away from North London in search of valuable game time elsewhere.

Yang Min-Hyeok was one such player to depart this month, as the South Korean winger finalised a move away after Ange Postecoglou determined that he was not yet ready to contribute consistently at first-team level.

The club is keen for him to gain experience elsewhere before making a definitive decision on his long-term future.

Now, it appears that another talented youngster could be following a similar path, as Tottenham look to finalise a temporary move for promising striker Will Lankshear, a player who has already had a taste of first-team football this season, even managing to get on the scoresheet for the Lilywhites.

Will Lankshear set for Championship loan move amid strong interest

According to football.london, Tottenham Hotspur are working on a loan move for Will Lankshear before the window closes.

A host of Championship clubs are said to have expressed serious interest in securing his services for the remainder of the season.

The publication states that Burnley, Middlesbrough, West Bromwich Albion, Cardiff City, and Luton Town are among the clubs keen on acquiring the young striker, though interest has also emerged from clubs abroad.

However, Spurs ultimately prefer to see Lankshear develop in the Championship, where they believe he will be best tested.

Loan move is crucial for development but Tottenham must strengthen in attack

A move to the Championship could prove to be an important step for Will Lankshear, as it would allow him to experience the demands of senior football in a competitive league.

This will provide him with the kind of physical and tactical challenge that will accelerate his development in a way youth football cannot.

However, while Lankshear’s departure makes sense from a developmental standpoint, it does raise further questions about Tottenham’s attacking depth, with the club already appearing short in forward areas.

If Spurs continue to offload attacking options without reinforcements arriving, it could leave Ange Postecoglou’s side vulnerable in crucial moments, making it imperative that the club also looks at adding an additional attacking option before the window closes.
