da pixbet: Spurs’ title charge continues to run with full steam ahead, but, rest assured, Mauricio Pochettino will be doing all he can to make sure all of his players are prepared for the next campaign still.
da leao: Nottingham Forest, who are in the comfort of Championship mid-table, could be an ideal destination for any player who wants to make the step for more first team minutes.
Forest harboured dreams of promotion earlier in the season, but will have to make do with another year of Championship football and is a comfortable, stress-free environment for players to move to as they look to add to their first-team experience.
Spurs’ Europa League exploits continue to become more challenging and the chances for players who are on the cusp of the squad might be looking for a loan move to guarantee themselves minutes in the rest of the season.
Forest would surely welcome any potential arrivals and Spurs could be the ideal parent club…
Nabil Bentaleb
Bentaleb burst onto the scene under Tim Sherwood, but the deep lying midfielder has struggled to make the same sort of impression under Mauricio Pochettino.
Where he once formed a stellar partnership with Ryan Mason, Eric Dier has made that position his own and the Algerian has largely been limited to cup appearances this season.
A drop down to the Championship could give him a vital confidence boost and it might just about be time for the midfielder to win the faith of his manager before the crucial run-in.
Joshua Onomah
Onomah, now Spurs have been knocked out of the FA Cup, is likely to be short of opportunities in the remainder of the season.
The midfielder has been hugely impressive when he has been given the chance to feature, but first-team football is more important than club loyalty at this stage of a player’s development and he is a prime candidate for a loan move.
Onomah will hope that next season can be his real break through to the first XI.
Anton Walkes
Walkes has played more regularly at centre-back during his recent career, but he begun as a domineering defensive midfielder in the under 21s.
Walkes is a versatile player and was regularly used, in Spurs’ Youth Cup campaign, as a left-back.
Harry Winks
Having made his first-team debut back in 2014, Winks has never really stepped up to become a regular member of the Spurs first-team squad.
Central midfield is an area of bitter competition in the Spurs’ squad and Winks looks unlikely to ever make the full step up to playing as a regular at White Hart Lane.
A loan move could be the chance for the youngster to put himself in the shop window as he looks to further his career elsewhere.
Clinton Njie
Since signing in the summer, Njie has been limited to the periphery of the Spurs squad and the young Frenchman must be desperate for first team football by this point.
Comfortable on either the right flank or as a central striker, his darting runs and twinkle toe dribbling make him an asset for any side.
Njie was clearly a signing for the longer term and a loan move might be the best way for Spurs to cultivate their gem from Lyon.
