Great to see Will Lankshear get a 5-year deal. Real belief within Spurs about how good he'll be if his development is handled right. Been with the 1st team this week and expected to go on loan this season to get regular senior minutes. Lots of Championship & League One interest.

Early Career and Move to Spurs
Lankshear began his career at the Arsenal academy before moving to Sheffield United.
His impressive goal-scoring record at Sheffield United attracted Tottenham’s attention, leading to his signing last summer for a fee potentially rising to £2.5 million, beating out interest from Brentford.
Since joining Tottenham, Lankshear has continued to impress. He made a notable debut for the U18s, scoring a quick-fire brace as a substitute. In the UEFA Youth League, he made headlines by scoring just 46 seconds into a match against Sporting Lisbon.
Lankshear’s standout performances in the recent Premier League 2 season saw him score 23 goals in 23 appearances, including a brace in the play-off final against Sunderland. These performances earned him the league’s Player of the Season title .
