Tottenham Hotspur have rejected transfer approaches from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton, and Sporting CP for 21-year-old striker Will Lankshear, according to Football London via Chris Cowlin. The club has made clear that Lankshear is not for sale and will not be sent out on loan again. Lankshear spent last season on loan at Oxford United in the Championship, where he was the club's top scorer with 11 goals and four assists in 44 appearances despite the team's relegation. He previously had a loan spell at West Bromwich Albion in the second half of the 2024/25 season. The young striker joined Tottenham's academy from Sheffield United in August 2022 after starting at Arsenal. He was the Premier League 2 top scorer in 2023/24 with 23 goals and made his first-team debut in October 2024, scoring his first senior goal against Galatasaray in the Europa League. Manager De Zerbi and technical director Johan Lange reportedly want to assess Lankshear at first-team level this season.
