Earlier this week, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglu confirmed there is a possibility that Will Lankshear could be sent on loan this month. After scoring in the Europa League defeat to Galatasaray in November, the young striker has not been able to kick on, playing just eight minutes since.
As a result, let's take a look at some potential loan moves for the young striker. Back in the summer, we tipped a loan to Oxford United - but they went with fellow Spurs youngster, Dane Scarlett, instead.
Looking at three potential loan deals for Will Lankshear
The first possible move is one to the Championship. Under manager Luke Williams, Swansea try to play front footed, attacking football, and create as many chances as possible. That they do pretty well. Converting chances, not so well.
Nobody has been to truly nail down the starting spot up front for the Swans so far this season, so there is potential for gametime, should Lankshear impress. Albeit at a lower level, Williams managed to get over 40 goals out of Macaulay Langstaff, eventually doing so well he got a move to the Championship - having not played above the National League North before working with Williams.
In the season he scored over 40 goals, Langstaff said he began running the channels in their first pre-season session, before he was told to stay between the width of the posts, being promised that the chances would be created for him. This could be a really good style for Lankshear to get goals.
Bit of a rouge shout here. We have seen a loan to the Belgian Pro League work absolute wonders for both Luka Vuskovic and Alfie Devine so far this season. We are seeing more and more English players over there - fellow England U20 striker Max Dean had six goals in 984 league minutes this season, before an ACL injury.
So far this season, Mechelen have created the third most big chances in the league, with 57. However, they have missed 37 of those 57 big chances - so it is clear that creating chances is not an issue, but finishing them is.
They are also another team that haven't had anyone nail down the starting striker spot, so it could well be there for Lankshear to take it. Going to Belgium as an Englishman has been brilliant for Devine's development, so why not Lankshear too?
Our third and final shout takes us to League One. Having achieved two promotions in three seasons, Stockport currently sit in 7th place, just one place outside the play-off spots. However, a big reason for that was Louie Barry - with his 15 goals and two assists - but he has since been recalled by Aston Villa.
Whilst the role for Barry was different to what Lankshear's would be - he often played as a winger, number ten, or as a second striker - there is most certainly a void goals wise, that needs to be replaced should they want to try and get into the top six positions.
Under manager Dave Challinor, Stockport have always created loads of chances. Their 57 big chances so far this season is the fifth best in the division, and comfortably averages over two per game.
Up front, Kyle Wootoon is a battering ram, who does a lot for the team. However, he has scored six goals this season, whilst missing 11 big chances. It would be really interesting to see Lankshear with that sort of service. Sure, movement is part of that, but the young Spurs striker has always seemed to excel at that, something we even saw in the first team against Galatasaray.
Really important to get this loan right. Let's hope they do.
