Tottenham Hotspur have officially sold Will Lankshear to Middlesbrough.

Roberto De Zerbi has been backed like no Spurs' manager has before so far in the summer transfer window.

With over £200million spent on the likes of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan-Paul Van Hecke, sales were also needed.

Lankshear has kicked things off with his move to Boro.

It's wild money for someone with little-to-zero Premier League experience, but Spurs will be ready to reinvest.

Will Lankshear waves emotional goodye

It's never easy to leave a club at a young age.

Regardless of how much senior football he actually played, it was instilled into his blood since joining from Sheffield United in 2022.

Lankshear made six senior appearances for Tottenham in the end, and moves on with everybody's blessing.

Taking to Instagram, the young striker labelled his time in North London as incredible, sending thanks to everyone involved.

"After four incredible seasons at Tottenham, my time has come to an end," he said.

"I’d like to thank all the staff, players and fans for making my time so enjoyable and helping me along the journey. Tottenham will always be engraved in my heart. Thank you."

Who has reacted to Will Lankshear's farewell?

Mikey Moore is another facing serious speculation around his immediate future at Spurs, but for different reasons.

Tipped to be the future of the Lilywhites, there are questions if he will be in De Zerbi's plans or will follow his spell at Rangers with another loan.

Moore sent Lankshear a message after his own exit, writing: "Willy Lanks," with a clapping emoji attached.

Jamie Donley, Destiny Udogie and Dominic Solanke also wished the striker well in the comments.

Past Spurs players, like Brennan Johnson also commented their own congratulations.

It will be interesting to see what angle Tottenham go down now, with fans not likely accepting a future when up-and-coming stars are sold regularly.

For £20m, it was a no-brainer for Lankshear to move on, though, with all eyes on if he can fire Middlesbrough back to the Premier League as their main man.
