BREAKING - Tottenham confirm latest loan exit as Thomas Frank's squad takes shape for new season

Tottenham youngster Will Lankshear has joined Championship side Oxford United on a season-long loan deal. The Spurs striker's latest move follows on from his loan spell with West Brom in the second half of the 2024/25 campaign.

Lankshear's time at The Hawthorns didn't exactly go to plan as his first-team action was limited and he failed to score in his 11 appearances for the Baggies. However, the hope will be that he can kick on at Oxford United in his quest to become a Tottenham first-team regular in the future.

The 20-year-old was on the scoresheet for Spurs in their first pre-season friendly of the summer against Reading as he netted a close-range header in a 2-0 win. Lankshear is the second Tottenham player to have made a loan switch to Oxford in the space of 12 months after Dane Scarlett joined the U's on a season-long loan deal last August.

The Tottenham academy graduate scored four goals in 22 appearances but he returned to N17 at the turn of the year with his first-team opportunities limited at the Kassam Stadium. Lankshear could potentially make his Oxford debut on Saturday when his new club host Portsmouth in their opening game of the Championship season.

"This is a really exciting opportunity for me to be joining a great club," Lankshear told Oxford United's official website upon his move. "I learned so much last season in the first team at Tottenham and West Brom and I’m ready to now kick on with Oxford United.

"I've had some really good conversations with the manager, and I feel like this is the right place for me to be.

"I love nothing more than scoring goals. I want to do my best to bring as many as I can this season.

"My game is about more than just goals though. I'm a player that has taken all the information from the top professionals I've worked with and I'm now ready to bring it together, work hard for the team and deliver for the club."
