Tottenham young Alfie Devine, Ashley Phillips are part of a trio to head out on loan this season
Tottenham plan to loan Devine, Phillips, Donley before transfer window closes
Tottenham Hotspur are not done in the transfer window, and especially with their outgoings, according to a new article in the Evening Standard by Dan Kilpatrick. According to the report, Spurs still plan on loaning out a trio of young players on the fringes of the first team squad — utility player Jamie Donley, attacking midfielder Alfie Devine, and central defender Ashley Phillips are all set to depart the club on loan for the season.
All of this makes sense. Phillips and Devine are both coming off of excellent loans last season at Plymouth Argyle (with Phillips named Plymouth’s Young Player of the Season) and are set for a step up in competition. Jamie Donley has yet to have his first loan, and while he’s been a forward at the youth level he filled in capably as a left back for Ange Postecoglou during preseason and is ready to get substantial first team minutes elsewhere. All three are considered important players for the future at Tottenham, but are not quite ready to crack the first team yet.
