Report: Tottenham once again prepared to loan out player who's been tipped to become a 'superstar'

Tottenham Hotspur could be busy on the transfer front in the coming weeks as Ange Postecoglou looks to fine-tune his squad.

Spurs have signed two new senior players so far this summer, bringing Dominic Solanke and Archie Gray to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham have also offloaded a number of players, either through sales, loans, or free transfers, and it looks like more players could yet leave.

Sky Sports News have now reported that a “superstar” talent on Spurs’ books could be loaned out once again this term.

Tottenham prepared to loan Ashley Phillips out as Getafe circle

The player in question is Ashley Phillips, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Plymouth Argyle.

Phillips impressed on loan at Home Park as he helped the Pilgrims survive in the Championship by the skin of their teeth.

The 19-year-old has featured in pre-season for Tottenham, and now, according to Sky Sports News, Spurs are prepared to loan him out again.

La Liga club Getafe are among the clubs said to be keen on signing Phillips for the season.

Tottenham are also reportedly open to letting Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon, Manor Solomon and Oliver Skipp leave before deadline day.

La Liga would be good learning curve for Phillips

Phillips is a top talent who looks like he has everything he needs to become a star, and it’ll be exciting to see how he develops.

Phillips’ Plymouth debut, against Huddersfield, saw Sky Sports pundit Alan McInally give him some of the highest praise possible.

“Merse, remember about 20 years ago we spoke about a young full-back called Mr Trippier, I’ve got another one for us,” he said, as transcribed by HotspurReports.

“Ashley Phillips… on loan from Spurs, centre-back, boy’s gonna be a superstar!”

Getafe would be a good shout for Phillips, as he will be playing in a very attack-minded league featuring some of the best forwards in the world.

The quality of attackers he’d be facing there is certainly higher than in the Championship, so it would be a great learning curve against the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Lamine Yamal and so on.
