Tottenham: Spurs failed to seal Fagan-Walcott deadline day exit
Tottenham failed to seal an 11th hour permanent exit for young defender Malachi Fagan-Walcott after document delays.
The Lowdown: Spurs exodus…
Spurs sealed a fair few exits on transfer deadline day last month with the club completing loan moves away for the likes of Djed Spence and Bryan Gil.
The Premier League top-four chasers also, in a dramatic late twist, announced that defender Matt Doherty would be leaving the club permanently after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract.
Doherty joined Atletico Madrid on a six-month deal after Spurs used up their allocated eight player loan quota.
The Latest: Spurs fail to seal Fagan-Walcott exit…
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, writing for Football Insider, the Lilywhites failed to seal another transfer away at the 11th hour.
Young full-back Fagan-Walcott could’ve joined Swindon Town permanently after both Spurs and the League Two side agreed a deal.
However, it is believed that both Spurs and Swindon ‘failed to get the paperwork done in time’ – resulting in the 20-year-old’s move collapsing.
There were apparently ‘delays’ over the registration documents with Fagan-Walcott now left in Spurs limbo.
The Verdict: Shame…
The centre-back has been starring for Spurs’ Under-21s in Premier League 2 this season, playing 13 games and even scoring two goals.
Fagan-Walcott, it would seem, is ready for the senior leagues and to test himself regularly in a competitive division.
The versatile ace can play both at full-back and in front of the back four but manager Antonio Conte hasn’t handed him a senior appearance since taking over last year.
Fagan-Walcott has been desperately unlucky when it comes to senior football – having gone out to Dundee on loan in 2021 only to return after two games through injury.
The former England Under-18 international looks set to leave Spurs this summer when his deal expires but the north Londoners would have ideally liked to have gain a fee for their academy graduate – however small.
