Tottenham Hotspur’s 18-year-old middle player Alfie Devine could be departing the team this season on a loan.
Reports from The Athletic indicate that his excellent display against West Ham recently has done nothing to dampen this possibility.
In a 3-2 pre-season match loss to their local rivals out in Australia, Devine demonstrated compelling potential.
Newly appointed manager Ange Postecoglou saw Devine’s first loan outing during the half-time introduction in the match.
Playing the unaccustomed right-wing position, Devine managed to turn heads, much like new teammate Manor Soloman.
Devine narrowly missed creating a scoring opportunity for fellow team member Davinson Sanchez and almost earned a goal himself.
These performances will likely influence the newly appointed manager’s assessment of the full team during the pre-season matches.
Considering a Loan Move May Prove Beneficial for Devine
After making 17 appearances in last season’s PL 2 for the Under 23s of Spurs, Devine appears ready to advance to the next level.
He managed to score two goals and set up three others in these matches, performing similarly well in UEFA tournaments.
Given the high-standard squad Spurs maintain this season, as fellow young player Harvey White is currently discovering, choosing to go on loan seems a sensible move.
It will be fascinating to note which clubs display interest in Devine, whose aspirations likely mirror the career trajectory of Harry Kane.
Kane kickstarted his Spurs career with three successive loans from the club.
The period Kane spent at Leyton Orient, Millwall, and Norwich greatly enhanced his confidence as a young Tottenham player.
With a contract valid until 2027, Devine may still harbor hopes of influencing Postecoglou’s decision if he’s given more opportunities in the upcoming pre-season games.
His brief yet impactful appearance in the most recent game has likely enhanced his standing, and he will probably yearn for centrally allocated minutes in the future matches.
Spurs’ following friendly match in Australia is against the newly relegated Leicester City and will feature a reunion with Harry Winks.
The club’s new manager will be eager to steer clear of consistent losses against English teams in the forthcoming games.
