Jamie Donley looks set to join Oxford United on loan

Tottenham Hotspur youngster Jamie Donley is set to join Oxford United on loan for the remainder of the season, Football League World understands.

The 20-year-old will spend the rest of the season with the Championship outfit as Spurs look to give one of their highly-rated academy prospects regular senior football.

The final details of the loan agreement are being ironed out but the move looks all set to be confirmed within the coming days.

Spurs confirmed Jamie Donley's recall from Stoke City on New Years Day and he's now set to leave immediately and link up with managerless Oxford United as they look to secure survival in the second tier this term.

Stoke City struggle for Jamie Donley

The versatile midfielder struggled to get going at the Bet365 Stadium this season with Stoke boss Mark Robins rarely utilising the ex-Leyton Orient loanee much in the first-team.

Donley played just 77 minutes of Championship football for the Potters, failing to start a single game - whilst he did make two appearances in the League Cup.

Spurs already have a good relationship with the U's as striker Will Lankshear is currently on loan at Oxford United whilst Dane Scarlett previously spent time at the Oxfordshire outfit.

Oxford United need goals - Jamie Donley could help

Donley will bring creativity, energy and versatility to an attack that has at times lacked a cutting edge this season as the U's languish in the relegation zone in the Championship table.

Just 25 goals have been scored by Oxford United so far this season, so Donley will be expected to make an impact on that front to give the club the best chance of escaping the perilous position they occupy.

Oxford will hope Donley can emulate the sort of form he showcased last season in League One with Leyton Orient.

The dynamic midfielder recorded eight goals and 10 assists for Orient last term in what was a breakthrough campaign for the Spurs youngster in first-team mens football.

Oxford travel to Chris Wilder's Sheffield United on Sunday in their next Championship match in what will be a tough clash given the Blades' recent resurgence up the table.
