George Abbott: Notts County borrow Tottenham prospect for season

League Two side Notts County have signed Tottenham U21 captain George Abbott on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old midfielder Abbott led Spurs to the Premier League 2 title last season and produced a goal and two assists across the semi-final and final of their subsequent play-off triumph.

“He’s incredibly well thought of at Spurs, as reflected by their decision to give him a new three-year deal this summer," said Notts County director Richard Montague.

“We’re really pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to his development and have every confidence he will make a big impact in his time with us.”
