The defender at one time looked like was going to be the next academy product to break through to the first team.
The center-back made his senior debut for Spurs back in 2020 at just 18 years old during the club’s Champions League defeat away to RB Leipzig, and that remains his sole first-team appearance to date.
He was loaned out to Dundee United in 2021 but he suffered a season ending injury. His development slowed down since then due to injuries.
The centre-back will be hoping that a fresh start away would help revive his career.
Tottenham have moved a number of defenders this summer. Joe Rodon and and Djed Spence joined Leeds United on loan while Davinson Sanchez joined Turkish giants Galatasaray on a permanent move.
Japhet Tanganga has also been loaned out, joining Bundesliga side Augsburg on a loan with an option to buy on a permanent deal next summer.
