Sporting are keeping an eye on Will Lankshear’s situation and are among the clubs interested in securing the Tottenham striker for next season. The 21-year-old Englishman is seen as a player with great potential and has attracted interest from several clubs following his loan spell at Oxford United.
According to reports in the English press, the Lions are monitoring the centre-forward’s progress and have already gathered information about the conditions of a possible deal. In addition to Sporting, several Championship clubs are also closely following the player’s situation.
At this stage, however, the main obstacle lies in Tottenham’s stance. Those in charge at Spurs have shown no willingness to let Will Lankshear leave, believing the striker could still have an important role to play in the future of the London club.
Last season allowed the player to gain competitive experience at the highest level of English football. While at Oxford United, the England youth international had the opportunity to rack up regular minutes and continue the development process that began in Tottenham’s academy.
Sporting continue to look for solutions to strengthen their attack, and Lankshear fits the profile of young players, with room for development and strong resale potential, that appeals to the structure led by Frederico Varandas. Even so, any progress will depend on Tottenham’s willingness to negotiate an exit, something that, for now, does not appear to be on the table.
