Tottenham continue to monitor Will Lankshear but Spurs don’t have the clause they need

Tottenham Hotspur continue to monitor striker Will Lankshear following his strong start at Middlesbrough, but the club lacks a buy-back clause to re-sign him easily. According to TEAMtalk, Spurs only negotiated a matching-rights clause during the permanent summer transfer, which reached up to £20 million with add-ons. This agreement simply allows Tottenham to match any accepted future offer rather than offering a guaranteed return route.

The 21-year-old forward has scored 10 goals in 13 matches across all competitions under Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg. Lankshear aims to reach the Premier League with Middlesbrough, while multiple other clubs across England and Europe are also reportedly monitoring his progress.
