Lankshear, a 21-year-old Tottenham striker, impressed during a loan spell at Oxford United and has drawn attention from other clubs. Tottenham views him as highly regarded and believes he has a real chance to break into the first team. Decisions about his long-term future will wait until Tottenham has clarity on which division they will play in next season. Until that is known, no player decisions are expected. Lankshear hopes for a fresh start this summer and an opportunity to stake a claim for regular involvement. Interest in another loan move could come from clubs in England and abroad, regardless of Tottenham’s league status, including potential opportunities if pre-season impresses a new manager.
"“I'm sure there's clubs that are keeping tabs on Lankshear because of how well he did at Oxford on loan. Lankshear's very highly regarded at Tottenham, they feel that he's got a real chance of making the breakthrough there as well.”"
"“Obviously no decision will be taken on his long-term future until Tottenham have clarity on which division they're going to be in for next season as well. Until Tottenham know where they're going to be, there'll be no decisions made on any players.”"
"“Lankshear will be hoping that it's a clean slate for everybody this summer and he could be given an opportunity to try and stake a claim to become a regular in that Tottenham team. That could happen regardless of what league they're in, even if they stay in the Premier League, if De Zerbi is impressed by what he sees in pre-season.”"
"“But equally I'm sure there'll be a host of clubs in England and abroad who would be interested in signing the England under-21 international on loan again.”"
