Tottenham gem ‘to seal loan exit’ after major contract development
Tottenham are expected to allow one youngster to leave the club on loan this summer after he put pen to paper on a new contract at Hotspur Way.
Ange Postecoglou could soon be sacked by Daniel Levy after a disastrous season, with the Australian thought to have lost the Tottenham dressing room.
However, while all appears negative in North London, any potential manager who replaces Postecoglou will have a host of exciting young players to work with, giving cause for optimism among the Spurs faithful.
What is even more exciting is that one of those young players recently signed a new long-term contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham gem to seal loan exit after signing four-year contract
Plenty of Spurs’ Under-18 stars have been signing their first professional deals in recent weeks, including goalkeeper Sam Archer, which could lead to another shot-stopper leaving Tottenham.
However, Spurs also recently managed to convince one of their more established academy hopefuls to commit his future to the club.

It was recently announced that Callum Olusesi has signed a new contract with Tottenham until 2029, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 18-year-old, who has already made his senior debut and has been a regular for the Under-21s this season, is thought to have been offered incentives by Tottenham to sign a deal.
And Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – has speculated that a loan move might now be on the cards ahead of next season.
“Tottenham were very quick to get Olusesi signed up on a scholarship deal,” Wenham said.
“He now has a massive contract until 2029. At the start of the season, he moved from the Under-18s to the Under-21s and became captain almost straightaway, so he is highly rated, not just at Tottenham but within the England setup, too.
“What is interesting is I still don’t know what Olusesi’s best position is; he can play as an attacking midfielder, but also as a box-to-box midfielder. However, I also think he has the qualities to make a good defensive midfielder.
“A first loan could shed some light on his best position, and I think he will be ready for that loan next season. I imagine Tottenham will send him to a League Two club for six months and then reevaluate the situation.”
Olusesi is ready for first-team football
Postecoglou could call on Olusesi before the end of the season.
Once the summer comes around, the young midfielder will be targeting an opportunity to showcase what he can do in pre-season before potentially heading out on loan and getting his first real taste of senior men’s football.
