Alert! Tottenham tell Sporting no, block striker for Rui Borges | OneFootball

Sporting are keeping an eye on the English market and have shown interest in signing Will Lankshear. However, Tottenham turned down the approaches made for the young striker, who wants to fight for a place in the first team during pre-season.

According to journalist Alasdair Gold, who specializes in Tottenham news, the Lions were one of the clubs to show interest in a permanent transfer for the English centre-forward. Even so, the London club rejected all proposals, making it clear that they would only consider negotiating the player for a very high fee.

Lankshear, 20, wants to take advantage of the start of pre-season to convince Roberto De Zerbi that he deserves an opportunity in the Spurs first team. The forward believes he can earn space in the squad and is fully focused on impressing the Italian coach.

This season, wearing the Oxford United shirt on loan, Will Lankshear – valued at €7 million – made 47 appearances: 44 in the Championship, two in the FA Cup and one in the EFL League Cup. In the 3,125 minutes he was on the pitch, he contributed 12 goals and provided two assists.
