Tottenham Hotspur youngster Alfie Devine is expected to leave the club on a loan deal when the transfer window opens in January.
According to a report from Football Insider, the 18-year-old is heading to an EFL club.
Devine is highly rated at the London club and he needs to go out on loan in order to get regular first-team football. A move in January would be ideal for the player’s development.
Tottenham have an impressive squad at their disposal and it will be difficult for Devine to get regular game time at the London club. However, if he manages to impress during his loan spell, he could end up forcing his way into Conte’s first-team plans next season.
The 18-year-old is a long-term prospect for Spurs and they will need to handle his development carefully.
The report from Football Insider doesn’t mention which club he will join in January. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Devine needs to join a club where the manager will trust in his ability and allow him to develop without the pressure of performing at a high level every week. A move away from Spurs would allow him to do just that by staying away from the burden of expectations and limelight.
