Middlesbrough complete the signing of Will Lankshear | OneFootball

Middlesbrough have won the race to sign England youth international striker Will Lankshear.

The 21-year-old had plenty of interest from clubs this summer but is Boro who have completed the signing of the player from Tottenham Hotspur with Lankshear penning a five-year deal with the club.

Reports suggest that the Championship side have paid an initial £10 million for the player which could rise by a further £10 million depending on add-ons.

"Middlesbrough is such a massive club over the years; I deem it to be a Premier League club," former Sheffield United youth product Lankshear said on his arrival.

"The project here really excites me. I can’t wait to get started and be part of the journey, and get this club back where it belongs."

Lankshear made six appearances for the Spurs first team in total all during the first part of the 2024/25 season, scoring once. Last season, the Hertfordshire-born forward spent the season on loan at Oxford United where he scored 12 and made two assists in 47 games in all competitions.
