Thomas Frank has Will Lankshear dilemma after scenes away from Tottenham
Will Lankshear may cause problems for Thomas Frank at Tottenham.
Lankshear is one of the finest prospects in Tottenham’s youth set-up, and he is expected to become a top player in the future.
Lankshear spent the end of last season on loan at West Brom, but he failed to score for the Baggies in 11 appearances.
However, he is having a much better time away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season.
Will Lankshear shines for Oxford United in Sheffield Wednesday win
Tottenham sent Lankshear on loan to Oxford United this summer, so he could continue to gain Championship experience.
Lankshear opened the scoring for his side in the victory to take his tally to four goals in 11 appearances, as he finally appears to be getting to grips with the division.
The Spurs youngster made one key pass, took three shots, with two on target and made a total of 1.45 expected goals on target, per Sofascore.
He was not afraid to drop back and get involved in play either, completing all four passes in his own half for a 100% success rate.
He was accurate with eight of his 12 attempted passes in total, for a 67 per cent success rate in the contest against the crisis club.

Tottenham may have to recall Lankshear after his latest exploits
Spurs currently do not have an abundance of striking options, with Dominic Solanke sidelined with an ankle injury.
The 28-year-old has missed 25 matches since he signed for the Lilywhites, and he cannot be relied upon to lead the line regularly.
If Lankshear continues his goalscoring exploits in the Championship, Frank may have a dilemma on his hands.
He may ultimately decide to recall the young and upcoming star and give him a genuine opportunity to forge a role in the first team.
However, he may want him to play as much as possible and score as many as possible in the second tier, and not risk his progression by bringing him back.
It is not an easy decision, and rather the Dane be the man making it than anyone else.
