Will Lankshear and 10 Tottenham players who could still secure transfer moves before deadline day
Here we take a look at the Tottenham players who could still possibly exit the club before August’s transfer deadline as Ange Postecoglou gets his plans in place for the new season
The final month of the summer transfer window is now upon us. Tottenham have been active in the transfer market ahead of the 2024/25 campaign but more still needs to be done in terms of addressing Ange Postecoglou’s playing squad.
Attention is very much on bringing fresh faces in as Spurs look to add that bit more quality that can see them challenge towards the top of the Premier League. Outgoings over the next four weeks are also going to be vital as the 11pm transfer deadline on Friday, August 30 edges ever closer.
Sergio Reguilon
Sergio Reguilon is available to find a club for the third year on the trot. Not part of Tottenham’s squad for their summer tour and remaining back in the capital to explore potential transfer moves, the left-back is still a Spurs player for the time being.
Richarlison
Richarlison has yet to feature for Tottenham so far in pre-season with injury keeping him on the sidelines. The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia but it would perhaps be more beneficial for Postecoglou to keep him at the club due to what he can offer and also because of the lack of options up front.
Richarlison went on a prolific run of form between December and February last season and Spurs just need to keep him fit after a number of injury issues.
Emerson Royal
Emerson Royal has been heavily tipped to join AC Milan this summer but as of yet he still remains a Tottenham player. The Italian club are going to have to submit an offer that Spurs deem acceptable if they are to lure the right-back to the San Siro.
If not, Emerson could stay in north London and provide cover across defence for Postecoglou.
Giovani Lo Celso
Giovani Lo Celso really needs to secure a move away this summer after playing an extremely bit-part role for the Lilywhites last term. The Argentina international was often only given minutes towards the end of games even though others in his position were struggling.
After impressing for Spanish side Real Betis prior to his Tottenham move in 2019, the Copa America winner has been tipped to return to La Liga.
Manor Solomon
Spurs could possibly also have a decision to make over Manor Solomon before the summer is out, especially if another wide option comes in. It does appear that 16-year-old Mikey Moore may have just nudged ahead of Solomon if Postecoglou’s selections in pre-season are anything to go by.
The Israeli’s football at Tottenham could potentially be limited this season if that is the case, which in turn could raise questions about his future going into the campaign given Postecoglou has choice on both wings.
Ashley Phillips
Ashley Phillips finished last season playing on loan in the Championship for Plymouth Argyle. With a number of options ahead of him in the pecking order at centre-back, another temporary move could be best for all parties in 2024/25.
Alejo Veliz
Tottenham will be hoping for better luck in the loan department this season if Alejo Veliz is to head elsewhere again. His loan switch to Sevilla proved to be an absolute nightmare and it may have served him better remaining with Tottenham in the second part of last term.
Veliz has just not got a look in during Tottenham’s last two summer friendlies, with Will Lankshear appearing to be ahead of him in the pecking order as things stand. For that reason, a loan move would suffice for Veliz.
Dane Scarlett
Dane Scarlett is also in a similar boat to Veliz after not featuring in the Vissel Kobe and Team K League games. The academy graduate barely played in his time on loan with Ipswich Town in 2023/24 and it is vital that Spurs pick the right loan club for him if he is to depart on a temporary basis.
Alfie Devine
Alfie Devine has certainly given Postecoglou something to think about going into the new season after a strong summer campaign. The attacking midfielder looks to have benefitted from his two loan spells and that can be seen in the performances he has delivered so far in pre-season.
While there could be opportunities for him in the Europa League from September onwards, a loan move probably is more worthwhile to him right now so he can play week in, week out.
Will Lankshear
Tottenham youngster Will Lankshear has grabbed the headlines this summer after scoring in the Hearts and Team K League games. His performances have done him no harm at all when it comes to potentially featuring in the first-team squad this season.
As things stand, it probably is beneficial keeping Lankshear at the club due to Tottenham’s lack of options in the striker department. However, if the Lilywhites do sign a new frontman then Lankshear could be in line to exit on loan as Spurs do have cover for the position with players such as Son Heung-min, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski able to play there if required.
Tottenham will also have plenty of offers for Jamie Donley this summer if he is to exit on loan. After wowing for the club’s youngsters in 2023/24, the versatile player has caught the eye in pre-season when playing as a left-back.
Like a host of the other young players at the club, a loan move really would help Donley as he needs to get that experience of playing first-team football week in, week out under his belt
