Tottenham on verge of loaning Europa League debut hero to league champions
A Tottenham academy youngster, who made his mark in the Europa League last season, is edging closer to joining an EFL side on a season-long loan.
The Europa League provided many of Tottenham Hotspur’s academy products a chance to showcase their talent and some of them grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
The best example was Spurs’ final clash of the League Phase against Elfsborg, with the Lilywhites running out 3-0 winners, with all three goals being scored by academy teenagers.
One of those Tottenham goals came from 19-year-old wide-forward Damola Ajayi, who may get an opportunity to show what he can do in senior football next season.
Damola Ajayi close to swapping Tottenham for Doncaster Rovers
Damola Ajayi played 18 times in the Premier League 2 for the Tottenham Under-21s last season, scoring three goals and providing an assist.
The versatile attacker is a right winger by trade but has also played on the left and even occasionally as an attacking midfielder for Wayne Burnett’s men.
Ajayi may get a chance to strut his stuff in League One next season, with journalist Pete O’Rourke taking to social media to reveal that the youngster is now in advanced talks over joining Doncaster Rovers on loan.
Doncaster Rovers were crowned League Two champions in the 2024/25 season and enter the new campaign on a high.
Spurs academy midfielder may be handed a first-team chance by Thomas Frank
Ajayi has to look no further than Jamie Donley to realise just what a brilliant season in League One can do to one’s career.
The attacking midfielder had an outstanding season on loan at Leyton Orient last term and has since been capped for the Northern Ireland senior side.
According to reports, Thomas Frank is considering keeping Donley as a part of the first-team at Tottenham, with the Dane keen to run the rule on the 20-year-old in pre-season.
