Several English clubs set to poach Tottenham's young star
By Manuel Meza
With Tottenham Hotspur’s summer transfer window moving along, manager Ange Postecoglou faces a big decision about what to do with young striker Will Lankshear.
The 19-year-old forward, who played a crucial role in Tottenham’s Premier League 2 triumph last season, has been making waves during pre-season training with the first team. Now, Postecoglou must decide whether to integrate Lankshear into the squad or send him out on loan for valuable game experience.
Lankshear’s impressive performances at the youth level have caught the eye of several Championship and League One clubs, who are keen to secure his services for the upcoming season. According to a report from The Athletic, these teams view Lankshear as a promising talent who could benefit greatly from regular first-team football.
The report indicates that Lankshear might benefit more from getting regular playing time at another club instead of mostly sitting on Tottenham’s bench throughout the season.

However, Lankshear’s potential contribution to the Spurs squad cannot be overlooked. With Tottenham competing in three cup competitions this season, having an additional attacking option like Lankshear could prove valuable. His pre-season performances have been notable, and with Troy Parrott’s recent move to AZ Alkmaar, Lankshear’s path to the first team appears slightly clearer.
The decision regarding Lankshear’s future is not straightforward. On one hand, sending him out on loan could allow him to develop and gain the experience necessary to become a more complete player. On the other hand, keeping him at Spurs might offer him a chance to make a significant impact, especially if he continues his impressive form.
For Postecoglou, the challenge is to balance Lankshear’s immediate development needs with the team’s long-term goals. The young striker has shown great potential, and his future at Tottenham could depend on whether he gets the chance to prove himself or is loaned out to gain essential experience.
