Tottenham risk losing striker for £5m but it shouldn't be a problem despite fantastic form
Alasdair Gold has revealed what he knows about the futures of Dane Scarlett and Will Lankshear at Tottenham Hotspur.
Thomas Frank has had no shortage of problems upfront this season. Richarlison has blown hot and cold, while Randal Kolo Muani has not had the impact the Dane would have hoped for.
Dominic Solanke finally returned to action on Sunday, and his return is welcome news for the Tottenham head coach.
Spurs also boast of some talented young centre-forwards at the club in the form of Will Lankshear and Dane Scarlett, and there has now been a big update on their futures at the club.
Will Lankshear could leave Tottenham for less than £5m
After a difficult loan spell at West Brom during the second half of last season, Lankshear has been impressing at Oxford United this term.
Lankshear scored his seventh goal of the season for Oxford on Monday as the Championship outfit overcame MK Dons in the FA Cup third round.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now stated that Tottenham have already knocked back a couple of bids for Lankshear this month, as they have been impressed by his development.
Interestingly, he reveals that Oxford have the option to buy the striker permanently for a fee between £4.5m and £5m at the end of the season.
However, he adds that as things stand, the Championship relegation-battlers are not likely to be able to meet those demands.
Dane Scarlett is attracting loan interest
Gold also reveals that Dane Scarlett has received loan interest from the EFL over recent weeks.
The centre-forward, who has previously had loan spells at Portsmouth, Ipswich Town and Oxford United, is thought to be on the radar of some League One sides.
However, the journalist adds that at 21 years of age, Scarlett is nearing the point where a permanent move away from Tottenham could be on the cards, with the youngster potentially set to follow in the footsteps of Troy Parrott.
