'I'm delighted' - Wenham thrilled after 'Promising' transfer move for Tottenham gem

John Wenham is delighted that Alfie Devine has joined KVC Westerlo on a season-long loan from Tottenham.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose feels that it will be important “to keep an eye” on the 20-year-old’s game time in Belgium.

Devine’s loan move to Westerlo was confirmed via Spurs’ official website earlier this month (5 September).

And Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes this will be a good move for his development.

“I think if we’re comparing the Belgian Pro League to a certain standard, it is probably Championship level,” he said.

“Some top teams are playing in Belgium who often feature in Europe. Therefore, I’m pleased to see Devine move there on loan.

“It will help Luka Vušković as he will know someone when he arrives at Tottenham. We will need to keep an eye on Devine’s game time. However, he has been handed the number 10 shirt which is promising.

“This does seem like a good move all around so I’m delighted with that.”

Alfie Devine to excel on loan from Tottenham with KVC Westerlo?

Devine has already made his debut for Westerlo, coming off the bench in the second half of the club’s 2-2 draw with Anderlecht (14 September).

Vušković was on the scoresheet during that match, and supporters will be hopeful that the defender and Devine can form a positive relationship while in Belgium.

As his loan progresses Devine will be hoping to start regularly for Westerlo and get some much-needed first-team experience under his belt.

Should he do that, he will return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a much more experienced player. As a result, he might then finally be able to make an impact at first-team level in North London.
