Tottenham striker exit on the cards as English club make contact
Tottenham youngster Jamie Donley has been linked with a move away from the North London club this summer.
While it is unclear whether or not Ange Postecoglou will be there next season, but plans have begun with regard to the ins and outs.
Donley, a promising young striker, could be among those to seal a loan exit away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
West Brom lodge enquiry to sign Donley
West Brom have initiated talks to secure a loan deal for Donley, according to Birmingham World.
Despite the ongoing search for a new manager following Tony Mowbray’s departure, the Baggies are proactively planning their summer transfers.
Having previously loaned Spurs’ Will Lankshear in January, the Hawthorns outfit are now targeting Donley, who has shone during his loan at League One’s Leyton Orient, scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists in 39 matches.

| Donley | 39 | 8 | 10 |
They have reached out to Tottenham to explore Donley’s availability for another loan, as both Spurs and the 20-year-old may favour a move to a higher division.
While Leyton Orient may push to keep him, West Brom view Donley, who leads League One in assists, as a potential starter in their revamped attack.
With several players’ contracts expiring and others likely to be sold to fund transfers, they anticipate a significant squad overhaul at The Hawthorns this summer.
Tottenham are likely to open to loaning Donley out
Loaning Donley benefits Spurs by enhancing the 20-year-old forward’s development through exposure to the higher competitive level of the EFL Championship.
His impressive loan at Leyton Orient indicates he’s ready for a step up.
Playing at West Brom, a club aiming for promotion, offers Donley regular first-team football in a more demanding environment, refining his skills, physicality and decision-making.
This aligns with Spurs’ strategy of nurturing young talents like Lankshear.
A successful stint could increase Donley’s value, potentially allowing Tottenham to integrate him into their first team or attract transfer interest, boosting financial flexibility.
Additionally, the loan incurs no immediate cost for Spurs, ensuring Donley’s growth without disrupting their squad, while maintaining control over his long-term future.
