Tottenham Hotspur Academy starlet Will Lankshear has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane this summer as the club prepares to use his potential into the next steps of his development.

His recent performances in the pre-season have shown why he is a highly touted prospect in world football and why the clubs across England rate him very highly.

Tottenham rejects multiple loan offers for Lankshear

The 19-year-old has been subject to links with a move to multiple Championship clubs on a probable loan deal this summer.

However, the club is not looking to let the striker depart this summer despite having several clubs reach out for his signatures, per The Athletic. The player is expected to continue at Hotspur Way and be involved with the first team.

The report includes how he has been impressing the Australian gaffer and his staff in the training sessions and how he is likely to be given an opportunity to represent the Spurs badge in the cup competitions.

Will Lankshear penned down a new contract at White Hart Lane earlier this summer as he tied himself to White Hart Lane till 2029, and we should expect him to be handed his competitive debut in the coming months.

What now?

Lankshear has high potential, and he has shown his presence in the pre-season. However, preseason is different from season run-in, and he will certainly need game time under his belt in senior football to help his development.

The fact that Levy has rejected multiple loan offers from him shows that the club rates him highly and believes that he can carve a space for himself in the first team.
