Tottenham Hotspur tie down promising academy star to long-term contract

Tottenham Hotspur announce contract extension for Will Lankshear

Tottenham Hotspur have announced that their highly-rated academy striker, Will Lankshear, has signed a new three-year extension to his contract.

Lankshear joined Spurs from Sheffield United in August of 2022, and it did not take him long to make an impression. He scored a brace on his debut against Wolves, and his impressive form continued throughout the season.

The 18-year-old scored eight goals in eight games across all competitions at the Under-18 level and is widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best, strikers in England for his age group.

For Tottenham fans, Lankshear’s contract extension announcement is a positive sign for the future of the club’s academy and youth development programs. It demonstrates the club’s commitment to investing in young talent and building a team for the future.

In an interview after signing the new deal, Lankshear expressed his love for playing and scoring goals for Tottenham Hotspur. He also mentioned that he is looking forward to continuing his impressive form and helping the team.

While Lankshear’s contract extension is fantastic news for Tottenham, it is not the announcement that fans were hoping for. The future of Tottenham’s star striker, Harry Kane, remains uncertain.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Kane, Tottenham fans can take solace in the fact that the club is investing in young talent like Lankshear. The academy has produced some excellent players over the years, such as Harry Kane himself, and there is a lot of excitement about the potential of the current crop of young players.

Tottenham’s academy has been a source of pride for the club over the years, and the new contract extension for Lankshear shows that the club is committed to continuing this tradition.
