The January transfer window has drawn to a close, with no incoming players, but no less than 14 departures. However, despite Dele Alli and Danny Rose looking for other options, neither were able to secure a loan away from the club.
Here are all the players on the move:
Gedson Fernandes – Loan cancellation(Benfica)
It never came close to working out. The 22 year old arrived from Benfica arrived last January and was heralded as someone whose talent and versatility would bring fresh dynamism to the squad. In the end we didn’t see that talent emerge and his versatility saw him shunted into various positions on the few occasions he turned out in lilywhite.
In the end Gedson made a total of 14 appearances for Tottenham, just two of them – cup games against Marine and Chelsea – coming this season.
The Portuguese international was immediately loaned out again to Turkish giants Galatasaray upon his recall.
Paulo Gazzaniga – Loan (Elche)
Joe Hart’s arrival had seen Gazzaniga slip down the pecking order despite making 25 appearances last season.
At 29 years of age and approaching the best years of his career, Gazzaniga simply could not afford to be languishing on the sidelines.
Elche may be battling relegation, but playing regular first team football in La Liga is a great opportunity for the Argentine international to get his career back on track.
Jonathan De Bie – Free transfer (R.W.D. Molenbeek)
De Bie was set to be released last summer, but stayed following Covid-19 which caused a lack of trial opportunities at other clubs.
Anderlecht, KV Mechelen and KAA Gent were all said to be interested in the 20 year old goalkeeper last year, but he has now moved to Belgian First Division B side R.W.D. Molenbeek.
It is a disappointing end for the Belgium youth international, who had a promising start to his time at Hotspur Way after Spurs beat Liverpool to his signature.
Anthony Georgiou – Free transfer (AEL Limassol)
23-year-old Georgiou had been with Spurs since joining from Watford in 2013 and spent time out on loan with Levante B, Ipswich Town and Bolton Wanderers, playing both as a left-back and as a left-winger.
It was against another Cypriot side that Georgiou made his Spurs debut in 2018. The substitute appearance against APOEL in the Champions League was to be his only appearance for the club, however.
He has already made his debut for AEL having made the move in mid-January.
Pochettino, 19, has joined Watford on a free transfer, bringing to an end the last Pochettino link with Tottenham after his father, Mauricio, and brother, Sebastian – a sports scientist – left the club in November 2019.
A right sided midfielder, Pochettino was a regular for Tottenham’s youth sides, making nearly 50 appearances for the U23s and U18s. However, the route to first team football was crowded and he leaves the club without making his first team debut, with his contract set to expire on 30 June 2021.
Austin has moved to Orlando City on loan to further his development after making eight appearances for the Under-23s in the Premier League 2 this year.
He spent the second half of last season out on loan with Danish side Viborg FF, impressing as he made 14 appearances in the NordicBet LIGA.
The England Under-21 goalkeeper is expected to complete an entire season in the MLS with Orlando, and will return to the club in December.
Clarke moves to Stoke City on loan having made a decent impression in and around Spurs’ first team squad this season, making a few appearances off the bench.
The England Under-20 international had an difficult loan spell with QPR after making his move from Leeds United, but he looks to have settled in quickly at Stoke, having already made four appearances.
Malachi Fagan-Walcott – Loan(Dundee)
Fagan-Walcott, a highly promising centre-back, has joined Scottich Championship side Dundee for the rest of the season.
The 18 year old suffered a bad injury at the beginning of the season, but has since returned for the Under-23s. Fagan-Walcott has been given the number 6 shirt at Dundee and has already made his debut for the club, playing the full 90 against Raith Rovers. He’ll be hoping he can help them to promotion before returning to Hotspur Way.
Fagan-Walcott made his first team debut against RB Leipzig in the Champions League last year and appears in our Dream Team 2030/31.
Jubril Okedina – Loan(Cambridge United)
An Under-23 regular who is comfortable playing either at centre-back or right-back, Okendina has moved to Cambridge United on loan for his first taste of senior football.
He joins a side pushing for promotion and has made two appearances for the U’s so far.
Troy Parrott – Loan(Ipswich Town)
Troy Parrott has been recalled from Millwall and joined Ipswich Town on loan.
Parrott endured a difficult loan spell at the Den, with injuries restricting him to 14, goalless appearances. Often being played out of position didn’t help and there is no doubt that the Championship remains a competitive and challenging league to be making your first real strides in the senior game. Even Harry Kane’s loan spells weren’t always an unqualified success.
However, Parrott remains a major talent. He’s already received two caps for the Republic of Ireland and his natural ability will hardly disappear after only a few months. Let’s not forget, this is a player who made his debut for Spurs at the age of 17 and spent most of last season in the first-team squad. He also scored 31 goals in just 38 games for the youth sides since after joining the club in 2017.
He joins an Ipswich Town who are going through a difficult period, with the club falling to 11th in the table and the local newspaper calling for Paul Lambert to be sacked – with only 27 goals in 23 games they are in desperate need of a new striker. It’s clear that Troy Parrott will get games, and, if given the service, he will get goals. This could be a very good move for him and Spurs, not to mention Ipswich and Paul Lambert.
We are big fans of Jack ‘Scores Goals’ Roles here at Lilywhite Rose and are hoping his loan to Stevenage gets him back playing football.
Roles had a good loan spell with Cambridge United in 2019/20 making 25 appearances and scoring five goals, including a 30-yard screamer. However, his last loan spell with Burton Albion was a difficult one, making just three appearances off the bench.
We know that, given the chance, the Cyrpus international will get back to doing what he does best.
Kazaiah Sterling – Loan (Greenock Morton)
Sterling’s move to Greenock Morton is the 22 year old’s fifth loan spell, his latest at Southend United yielding just one goal in 12 appearances.
Despite amassing 34 goals in 78 games for the U23s and U18s, as well as making two substitute appearances for the first team, Sterling’s once promising career is now in danger of stalling.
Sterling’s contract with Spurs expires this June – he’ll be hoping to impress while out on loan to secure a new club in the summer.
Shilow Tracey – Loan(Cambridge United)
Shilow Tracey has been recalled from his loan spell at Shrewsbury Town and has joins fellow Hotspur Way player Jubril Okedina at Cambridge United.
Although he scored four goals while at Shrewsbury, they were all in the EFL Trophy and Tracey was in and out of the side, managing just 12 appearances in all competitions.
At 22, and with his contract expiring in June, Tracey will be wanting to make a strong impression with the U’s.
Harvey White – Loan(Portsmouth)
White made his Tottenham debut in the Europa League this season before earning his first start against Marine in the FA Cup. He he has been in and around the first-team squad for much of the season and now joins a Portsmouth side pushing for promotion from League One.
He has already made two appearances for Pompey and we are looking forward to watching how this talented young player go from strength to strength with more senior competitive minutes under his belt.
He could come up against fellow Spur, Troy Parrott, when their respective clubs meet in March.
White forms a midfield trio with Oliver Skipp and Alfie Devine in our Dream Team 2030/31.
With first Dane Scarlett and then Alfie Devine breaking the record for the youngest player in Tottenham’s history (and in Devine’s case, youngest goal scorer as well), and a clutch of other young players gaining first-team experience, Spurs’ academy prospects are looking as gifted and plentiful as they’ve ever been.
Fast forward ten years and it’s unlikely that Harry Kane will still be leading the line at the age of 37, so we look at the players who are set to make the step up. Given the talent coming through, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that our line up will be full of Hotspur Way graduates in a decade’s time.
This is our dream team 2030/31.
GK – Brandon Austin, 31 (age at the start of the 2030/31 season)
It’s a crowded field when it comes to Spurs’ goalkeeping prospects, with no less than nine Academy players on the books. However, it is England Under-21 stopper Brandon Austin that we feel has the best chance of making it in the first team.
Austin has been on the bench in four Europa League games this season and has been the first choice with the Under-23s, making eight appearances in the Premier League 2. He spent the second half of last season on loan with Danish side Viborg FF, impressing as he made 14 appearances in the NordicBet LIGA.
The next couple of years could be crucial for Austin – aged 22 and with his contract up in 2022, he will want to impress to prove to Jose Mourinho that he has what it takes to succeed Hugo Lloris and Joe Hart as they enter the autumn years of their careers. If he does so, he could be between the sticks come 2030/31.
Although primarily a right-back, the Edmonton-born Lusala is comfortable playing right across the defence. He has a touch of Kyle Walker about him, his pace and athleticism down the flanks standing out – his three assists in five Under 18 games demonstrate his ability going forward.
Already capped at youth level by England, we expect him to have formed an exciting full-back partnership with Dennis Cirkin by 2030/31.

CB – Malachi Fagan-Walcott, 28
It’s another Edmonton boy – Malachi Fagan-Walcott.
A former 200m sprint champion, Fagan-Walcott is a quick, powerful defender, but is also good in the air and reads the game very well. He has suffered from a knee injury this season, but he turned out regularly for the Under-23s last year and even made his first-team debut against RB Leipzig as a late substitute. He has also been called up to England Under 15s, 16s, 17s and 18s.
Fagan-Walcott’s idol is Ledley King – if he can go on to be half as good as the great man, he will have a very successful career in lilywhite.
Aside from Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga is the player with the most top-level experience in this group. Having made his debut in the EFL Cup in 2019, Tanganga has gone on to make 17 appearances for the senior side.
A versatile player comfortable playing right across the back, Tanganga has appeared for England at every youth level from the Under-16s to the Under-20s, and was called up for the Under-21s, but had to pull out due to injury. He signed a new five-year contract last summer and looks set to become a mainstay of the first team squad for years to come.
Hackney-born Tanganga joined the club aged just 10 – by 2030 he’ll have been with the club for two decades.
Over two and a half years ago, I attended an Under 15s/16s game against Ipswich Town. A fair few players stood out in the 6-1 win – Luis Binks, Harvey White, J’Neil Bennett, Max Robson and Chay Cooper all shined. But it was our left-back that day who you instantly knew was destined for something special.
Dennis Cirkin is a future England international with a staggering array of attributes. His reading of the game, technique in both defence and attack, work-rate, surging runs from deep and ability to score and assist offers an all-round package rarely seen in someone so young.
Although he has yet to make his competitive first-team bow, Cirkin appeared in the friendlies against Ipswich and Reading and has been named as a substitute on a handful of occasions. Despite the presence of Ben Davies and Sergio Reguilon, it will be a matter of time before the England Under-18 left-back makes his debut.
When he does, he’ll be one step closer to making that number 3 shirt his own for the next decade.
Not my words, but those of Jose Mourinho, a man who knows a thing or two about these sort of things. After being with the club since 2013, Oliver Skipp made his debut as an 18 year old for Spurs, going on to make 23 appearances in all competitions over the next two seasons.
He has made a huge impact on loan with Championship side Norwich this season, quickly establishing as an indispensable member of a side pushing for promotion. If they go up, it may well that Skipp remains with the Canaries to get a full season of Premier League football under his belt.
Whether or not Skipp returns to Spurs next season, there is little doubt that the England Under-21 midfielder will be the heartbeat of our midfield for a decade to come. Like Jose, we believe he’ll be our captain in 2030/31.

CM – Alfie Devine, 26
At just 16 years and 163 days old, Alfie Devine became the youngest player in Spurs’ history. The youngest goalscorer in Spurs’ history.
Devine is an all-action central midfielder, his energy matched by his creativity and his ability to appear in and around the opposition penalty area and score goals. The England youth international has had a meteoric rise through the Spurs ranks after joining the club last summer, performing at Under-18, Under-23 and senior levels with distinction.
Along with Oliver Skipp and Harvey White, Devine represents the future of Spurs’ midfield.
A versatile, set piece specialist, comfortable in possession with and a wonderful left foot, White made his debut off the bench against Ludogorets in November before making his first start against Marine in the FA Cup.
Although he has been in and around the first-team squad for much of the season, White has underlined his creative potential with the Under-23s, scoring three goals and providing seven assists in just 11 games.
White was recently called up to the England Under 20 squad and he certainly has the talent to continue to move through the ranks to become a Tottenham and England regular by 2030/31.
Also look out for Max Robson
RF – Jamie Donley, 25
If our fan’s main Academy interest was Troy Parrott last season, and Dane Scarlett is this season’s, 2021/22 will see the focus switch to Jamie Donley.
Donley joined Spurs seven years ago from Colchester Villa YFC. As an Under 8, he scored a barely believable 175 goals from midfield. You read that right. 175.
Donley has only just turned 16 – and is the youngest player featured on this list – but his ability is obvious. Already this season, he’s scored 17 goals in just 12 games for the Under-16s, and has played three times for the Under-18s, scoring on his debut against Leicester. With Dane Scarlett likely to step up to the Under-23s by the end of the season, we expect to see Donley fill his shoes.
If the England youth international keeps scoring every time he moves up a level, we could be left with the mouth-watering prospect of a lethal Donley – Scarlett – Parrott forward line in 2030/31.

ST – Dane Scarlett, 26
After his five goals against Newport in the FA Youth Cup, we posted a picture of Scarlett next to one of the great Ronaldo. It might have been a bit tongue in cheek, but if he keeps scoring at his current rate, the comparisons will only continue.
Scarlett has been in lethal form at youth level this season, scoring 19 goals in just 13 games, including three hat-tricks. As evidenced by his strikes against Newport, the England youth international’s goal scoring instincts are outstanding – his third goal in particular, a Cruyff finish, was sublime.
His record as Spurs’ youngest player may have only stood for two months, but we expect to see the name ‘Scarlett’ featuring on Premier League scoresheets for years to come.
Although Troy Parrott’s recent spell at Millwall hasn’t gone to plan, we’ve got to remember he’s only 18. Injuries have disrupted his time there and he has often been played out of position – even Kane’s loan spells weren’t always an unqualified success.
Parrott remains a major talent – he’s already received two caps for the Republic of Ireland – and his natural ability will hardly disappear after only a few months. Let’s not forget, this is a player who made his debut for Spurs at the age of 17 and spent most of last season in the first-team squad. He has also scored 31 goals in just 38 games for the youth sides since joining the club in 2017.
With the right support and opportunities, we have little doubt that, in time, Parrott will blossom into one of Tottenham’s leading players.
