Report: Tottenham are in talks with Championship club about young attacker

According to BBC Sport, Tottenham Hotspur are currently in talks with Oxford United over a deal to send Jamie Donley on a season-long loan deal.

Jamie Donley could get a loan next season

Donley, who was one of the main architects of the Spurs Under-21s charge to the title last season, is rated quite highly at Hotspur Way, with the 19-year-old having already been handed several first-team opportunities by Ange Postecoglou this season.

It was reported by GiveMeSport a couple of days ago that several EFL sides had made an approach to sign the teenager on a temporary deal.

The outlet claimed that the latest club to enter the race were newly promoted Championship side Oxford United.

Oxford United want to sign Jamie Donley on loan

It was explained that while Spurs were open-minded about the possibility of allowing Donley to leave on loan, they are careful to ensure that the youngster gets game time at the club that he joins.

BBC Sport have now also backed up Oxford’s interest in the Tottenham academy graduate and they state that the EFL side are currently locked in talks with the North London club.

The publication asserts that even though several Championship sides have expressed an interest in Donley, Oxford have now moved into pole position for his signature.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham’s priority would be to ensure that Donely joins a club which plays possession-based football and one where he has the best chance of being a guaranteed starter.

I would not be surprised if Spurs preferred to send the youngster to a League One side rather than a Championship outfit.
