Tottenham receive early loan enquiry from West Brom to sign forward next season
New reports state that West Brom have set their sights on Tottenham forward Jamie Donley, with the Championship club enquiring about a potential loan deal for next season.
Jamie Donley has certainly impressed at Leyton Orient this season, with Donley named Leyton Orient’s Player of the Season earlier this week.
For a youngster experiencing his first taste of senior football, it is a standout achievement – one the 20-year-old Tottenham loanee can be proud of, particularly given the demands of League One football.
Orient as a team have also held their own, with the O’s squeezing into sixth place in League One and keeping their promotion hopes to the Championship alive as they eye the play-off route. They recorded a 2-2 draw with Stockport in their home leg on Saturday afternoon.
West Brom make move for Tottenham forward Jamie Donley
Jamie Donley is expected to return to Spurs this summer, with the club planning to assess the next phase of his development and whether he is ready to be integrated into the first-team setup.
Donley himself has made no secret of his ambition next season, stating that he would love to stake a claim for a place in the Tottenham first team heading into the new campaign.
However, a step up to the Championship appears likely, with reports now stating that West Brom has now enquired about the youngster’s availability.
According to a report by West Brom journalist Charlie Haffenden, the Baggies are keen on a straight loan deal for the versatile forward, who has scored eight goals and provided 10 assists during his time with Leyton Orient.
His tweet on X reads: “Understand West Brom have enquired about Tottenham Hotspur forward Jamie Donley’s availability ahead of next season. #WBA interested in a straight loan. The 20-year-old has scored eight and assisted 10 on loan at League One side Leyton Orient this season.”
Why a Championship loan makes sense for Jamie Donley and Spurs
Given his numbers this season – eight goals and 10 assists in League One – it comes as no surprise that West Brom are circling around Jamie Donley, with his blend of creativity and intelligence in the final third standing out.
The natural next step for the youngster would be a move to the Championship or potentially even a top-flight side abroad, where the level of competition would allow him to sharpen the edges of his game.
West Brom are unlikely to be the only side interested once the window opens. If Leyton Orient do manage to seal promotion via the play-offs, do not rule out a return bid for the 20-year-old either.
