Luka Vuskovic, Jamie Donley and the Tottenham loan players who will leave this summer

Tottenham sent plenty of players out on loan this season and it’s time to look into which ones will still be at the club for the new campaign.

Spurs had 15 players out on loan as this season came to a close if we are including Luka Vuskovic who is preparing to join Tottenham this summer after reaching his 18th birthday. The teenager went to Westerlo in Belgium on loan from Hajduk Split this time around as Spurs prepared for the big centre-back’s arrival.

The north London club had players out on loan in France, Spain and Belgium as well as in Scotland and across the Football League and football.london has given our verdict on whether the club will keep, sell or loan them out again next season. Let’s start with a simple one.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Marseille)

The easiest one of the bunch because Hojbjerg joined Marseille on a loan deal that will see him join them permanently this summer after 32 matches for Roberto De Zerbi’s side. SELL

Bryan Gil (Girona)

Bryan Gil is fully expecting to depart Spurs this summer after a season at Girona where he enjoyed a pretty reasonable time there, playing Champions League football, until he suffered a knee injury in March that required surgery.

The 24-year-old winger’s contract comes to an end next year and both the Spaniard and Spurs are looking to go their separate ways. SELL

Yang Min-hyeok (QPR)

Yang Min-hyeok got plenty of experience of English football in the Championship with the 19-year-old playing 14 times and scoring twice with one assist.

There’s an acceptance that the South Korean teenager is a raw talent and a decision will be made during this summer whether another loan is the best thing for him to continue to develop. It seems likely. LOAN

Luka Vuskovic (Westerlo)

Luka Vuskovic will finally arrive at the club this summer, two years after they signed him from Hajduk Split and Spurs will want to take a good look at him. He scored seven goals and provided three assists at Westerlo in 36 appearances despite being a teenage centre-back.

Like Bergvall and Gray, the 18-year-old will probably have been sold on a move to Spurs over plenty of competition because of the chance to play for the Premier League side. You would imagine that Tottenham will keep him until at least January before deciding whether a loan spell for the remainder of the season would be more helpful for him.

“I think it’s possible, even though there are already world-class players, like Van de Ven and Romero,” Vuskovic said recently of breaking into the Spurs starting XI. “I want to take it step by step, finish the season well at Westerlo, then earn my place at Tottenham, and then we’ll see what the future holds.” KEEP

Alfie Devine (Westerlo)

Alfie Devine was with Vuskovic at Westerlo and played 32 times himself, scoring six times and providing one assist. The 20-year-old has impressed in the past two pre-seasons at Tottenham and will be looking to do so again this time around.

With two years left on his contract, the midfielder is probably due another deal, especially if he is to head out on loan again to a higher level. Devine is a homegrown player for Spurs but sticking around purely for that might not be helpful to his development. LOAN

Manor Solomon (Leeds United)

Manor Solomon helped Leeds win the Championship title and scored the goal that sealed it. He racked up 23 goal involvements in 41 matches for the Elland Road side and they would no doubt love to keep him in the Premier League.

That will be down to Spurs’ price tag and the competition for his signature, but it feels like his short time at the club is probably done with that interest in his services meaning a decent transfer fee unless he has the pre-season to end all pre-seasons. SELL

Alejo Veliz (Espanyol)

Alejo Veliz just hasn’t been able to make his mark at Tottenham and neither has anything really clicked into gear during the 21-year-old striker’s two loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol.

There has been talk of a return to Rosario Central this summer where Veliz scored plenty of goals as a teenager. The Argentine has got four years left on his contract but it’s difficult to see him breaking into the first team set-up again at this point. SELL

Ashley Phillips (Stoke City)

Ashley Phillips has enjoyed another positive loan spell despite plenty of managerial changes at Stoke this season as he quickly won over the supporters with performances that belied his 19 years. He played 39 times for the Potters and helped keep them in the Championship as well as scoring a great goal in the Carabao Cup.

Phillips’ immediate Spurs future could depend on a change in manager, otherwise he’ll be out on loan again next season. LOAN

Will Lankshear (West Bromwich Albion)

Will Lankshear enjoyed a season that brought his Premier League debut, his first goal for Tottenham and also 11 appearances in the Championship for West Brom. The 20-year-old did not score for the Baggies but earned plaudits for some of his performances.

The striker could be used by Spurs as a homegrown product but he probably needs another loan to truly find his feet at a senior level. LOAN

Alfie Dorrington (Aberdeen)

Alfie Dorrington is a Scottish Cup winner after helping Aberdeen overcome Celtic at Hampden Park last month and his loan ended up being a terrific one with 16 appearances.

The 20-year-old centre-back also made his Spurs and Premier League debut earlier this season in the win at Southampton so will be looking to build on that.

Dorrington will be looking to impress in pre-season but more than likely another loan beckons for a player with time on his hands and a long contract until 2029. LOAN

Jamie Donley (Leyton Orient)

Jamie Donley will have interest galore after a standout year at Leyton Orient with 19 goal involvements in 52 matches across a busy season in which he helped the O’s to the League One play-off final.

The 20-year-old Northern Ireland international will be looking to leave an impression in pre-season after a year in the game which would have developed him hugely on and off the pitch. Again though, he has time on his side and four more years on his contract and unless a new manager comes in and takes him on as a project, Donley could get a Championship loan next time out. LOAN

Josh Keeley (Leyton Orient)

Also at Orient, Josh Keeley starred with 16 clean sheets as well as that remarkable FA Cup goal. The 22-year-old goalkeeper has been called up for his first senior Republic of Ireland squad and has made huge leaps in his development this season.

A new contract beckons at Tottenham and his non-homegrown status will probably ensure that for now he continues to progress elsewhere, likely in the Championship or in Europe. LOAN

Matthew Craig (Mansfield Town)

Matthew Craig spent time at two different clubs this year in the shape of Barnsley and then Mansfield Town with injuries ruining his time at the latter.

The 22-year-old had shown he’s a good midfielder but with a year left on his contract and no way through at Spurs, it might be time for him to head off and embark on his career elsewhere. SELL

George Abbott (Notts County)

George Abbott enjoyed a terrific season in League Two with Notts County, making 45 appearances with 13 goal involvements and helping them reach the play-offs.

The 19-year-old versatile midfielder could be in line for a new deal and he should get a look-in early in pre-season before a loan move to a higher level. LOAN

Luca Gunter (Wealdstone)

Luca Gunter enjoyed a loan spell at Wealdstone in the National League and the 20-year-old will be hoping for more senior experience next season.

There are three goalkeepers in the main slots at Spurs but the exits of Fraser Forster and Alfie Whiteman could see Gunter move up into that fourth choice role and be required to stick around this season. KEEP
