Wonderkid Tottenham discarded this summer is being tipped for the very top

Tottenham Hotspur sold 21-year-old striker Will Lankshear to Middlesbrough in a permanent transfer worth £10 million plus up to £10 million in add-ons. The deal features matching rights on future bids and a 20 percent sell-on clause for Tottenham. Since departing, Lankshear has impressed by scoring six goals across eight Championship appearances alongside two goals in three Carabao Cup matches for Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg praised Lankshear's elite finishing mentality, noting the young striker's focus and rapid progression. The forward's strong form also earned him a call-up from Lee Carsley to the England under-21 squad. Meanwhile, manager Roberto De Zerbi stated that he did not regret sanctioning the forward's departure from Tottenham.
