Football.London’s Alasdair Gold says that Jamie Donley is now ‘increasingly likely’ to be loaned out ahead of the new season as the interest in the attacking midfielder continues to grow.
Donley is now increasingly viewed at Hotspur Way as the most promising young player in his age group, with the 19-year-old netting eight goals and providing 16 assists across all competitions for the Under-21s last season (Transfermarkt).
A number of outlets have indicated over the last couple of days that several EFL clubs have expressed an interest in signing the teenager and that Tottenham are open-minded about loaning the youngster out (GiveMeSport).
According to some sources, newly promoted Championship club Oxford United are now in pole position to land the Tottenham man, with the side currently said to be locked in negotiations with Spurs (BBC Sport).
Gold has now also revealed that a number of Championship and League One clubs have reached out to Spurs over Donley’s availability.
The journalist says that Ange Postecoglou now has a decision to make regarding the versatile midfielder and that while Tottenham are not entertaining offers to sell the player, there is now ‘growing likelihood’ that he would leave on loan.
Apart from Oxford City, he says that Birmingham City could also be in the running for his signature as Tottenham’s former assistant coach, Chris Davies, who has now taken over as the manager at St Andrew’s, is a fan of the youngster.

Tottenham might be leaning towards sending Donley to Birmingham as Davies has seen the 19-year-old’s ability first-hand and would likely be willing to make him one of the fulcrums of his side.
Given Daives’ footballing philosophy, we also know that the Midlands side are likely to be a possession-based, high-pressing side next season.
