Of late, it’s arguably been more enjoyable for Tottenham Hotspur fans to keep track of those who are out on loan, rather than focusing on results and performances in N17.
And in January, Tottenham sanctioned two more departures on loan with both Yang Min-hyeok and Will Lankshear heading for the Championship.
Of course, there’s also then the likes of Manor Solomon, Alejo Veliz and Alfie Devine out on loan, just to name a few.
Spurs have certainly been making the most of the loan market and there should be serious hope for more than one of those out on loan to make a first impact once they return.
Luka Vuskovic should be right at the top of that list, a 17-year-old who’s currently learning whilst on loan at Westerlo in Belgium.
Tottenham fans might already be dreaming of Vuskovic pairing with Micky van de Ven one day – a far cry from their centre-back situation right now.
Jamie Donley will get his chance at Tottenham
That being said, Give Me Sport have just shared a report focusing on what the future holds for three of Tottenham’s forwards who are currently away from the club: Jamie Donley, Min-hyeok and Veliz.
Donley was called ‘incredible’ by Pep Guardiola after his recent exploits for Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, prompting the question of what the future might hold for him in north London.
And according to this report, Donley will be welcomed back into Postecoglou’s squad in pre-season to be assessed, a chance to prove that he’s worth keeping around.
Donley is said to be held in ‘high regard’ at Tottenham, and will get his chance to prove his progress.
In addition to Donley, both Min-hyeok and Veliz will be checked on in pre-season to see how much progress they’ve made, and to assess the best next step for them.
But in terms of Manor Solomon, who’s currently performing well on loan at Leeds United, the forward is most likely to be moved on.
Yang Min-hyeok and Alejo Veliz will also be assessed in pre-season
Of course, Donley recently stated his desire to play for Tottenham, a 20-year-old who has started to find form in League One.
Earlier in the season for Leyton Orient, Donely experienced a bit of a tough spell under Richie Wellens, falling out of the starting eleven.
But he’s now back firing and playing with the confidence that enables him to shoot from the half-way line against Manchester City.
In terms of Veliz, the Argentinian has netted four goals in 21 appearances for Espanyol in La Liga this season.
