Report: Japhet Tanganga is about to join a new club after Tottenham departure
Spurs announced in early June that Tanganga alongside Dier, Perisic and Sessegnon, would be leaving the club upon the expiry of their deals. It now appears Tanganga has agreed to his first permanent contract outside of Tottenham.
Tanganga impressed at Millwall last season
Japhet Tanganga broke into the Spurs first team back in 2019/20 in some style as Jose Mourinho threw the then 20-year-old into the starting XI against Liverpool in the Premier League.
Although Tanganga’s debut made a lasting impression on people at Spurs which led to him integrating into the first team for the next few seasons, injuries continuously fell at unfortunate times for the defender.
Japhet’s hard luck continued this season as he joined Augsburg but yet more injuries meant the deal was terminated in January, where Tanganga then left on another loan, this time to Millwall.

Luca Bendoni on Saturday (6/7/24) reported that Millwall were so impressed with the Englishman’s six months with them, that they are now set to sign the 25-year-old on a free transfer following Spurs letting him go.
Bendoni claimed that a deal will be signed in the coming hours and it’s an agreement that will see the former Tottenham defender stay at Millwall for two years, with the option of extending for a further year.
Spurs Web Opinion
Due to his impressive appearances and crucial role in keeping Millwall up, it’s not a surprise that Tanganga became a favourite among fans at The Den, and perhaps moving permanently to somewhere where he is valued and appreciated is exactly what the player needs.
Standout performances over the years against Liverpool and Manchester City in particular displayed the quality Tanganga has and hopefully, if he avoids further injuries, he’ll be able to reach that level with Millwall in the coming seasons.
