Luca Williams-Barnett to leave Tottenham on loan in January amid latest Premier League announcement
Luca Williams-Barnett could be on his way out of Tottenham on loan when the January transfer window opens.
The 17-year-old prodigy is one of the most promising young talents coming through the ranks at Hotspur Way at the moment, and he was even on the bench for the first team in the Champions League last month.
Williams-Barnett made his senior Tottenham debut in the Carabao Cup victory over Doncaster Rovers back in September, and he is firmly on the radar of Thomas Frank and the rest of his staff.
The attacking midfielder is tipped to have a huge future ahead of him in N17, and he could be ready to take the next step in his journey after the Premier League’s latest announcement.
Luca Williams-Barnett nominated for PL 2 Player of the Month again
Williams-Barnett is away from Tottenham at the moment while he represents England at the U17 World Cup in Qatar.
However, the starlet’s exploits for his country have done nothing to stop the accolades coming his way from back home of late.
The Spurs gem has been nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for the second successive month, having ultimately claimed the prize for September.
Williams-Barnett notched two goals and an assist during the U21s’ win over Newcastle at the start of the month, before adding an assist in the defeat to Manchester United on 25 October.
His current stats in Premier League 2 make for eye-catching reading, as he now has 10 goal involvements to his name from just seven appearances.
That tally cannot be matched by any other PL 2 player, and also leads the entire league when it comes to both chances created and big chances created.
When you then factor in that he is effectively playing four years below his age group in that competition, it is surely time for him to take on a new challenge in the second half of the season.
Loan spells further down the professional pyramid are invaluable in the development of young players, and Spurs will surely look to find a suitable grounding for Williams-Barnett in January, given his recent progress.

Tottenham should try to find a League Two loan for Luca Williams-Barnett
Tyrese Hall has gone from strength to strength away from Tottenham so far this season, as he has excelled in his loan spell with Notts County.
The midfielder has already become a key player for the League Two outfit, and his recent exploits could provide the perfect blueprint for Williams-Barnett in January.
The fourth tier has a good mix of seasoned professionals who rely on their physicality, as well as several incredibly gifted technical players.
With that in mind, it often provides the ideal grounding for players from Premier League academies when it comes to their first loan, and they can then work their way up through the leagues from there.
It has become abundantly clear that PL 2 isn’t challenging enough for Williams-Barnett at present, and with that in mind, Spurs should surely look to get him out on loan and try and accelerate his progress as much as possible.
