Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s men\u2019s team hasn\u2019t (yet) made any first team signings in the January transfer window but they\u2019ve been quite active otherwise, especially on the loan front. Specifically, they\u2019ve been great about identifying the players who are struggling or in unsuitable loan situations and getting them out of those clubs and into new loans at different clubs. To whit, the club announced today that 20-year-old midfielder George Abbott is being withdrawn from his loan at League One side Wycombe Wanderers and is returning to Spurs.<\/p>\n
This one is a bit unfortunate. Abbott smashed it in League Two last season at Notts County and was due for a step up in competition. Wycombe seemed like a good destination club for him, but he\u2019s only played 850 minutes in all competitions this season. That\u2019s mostly because he\u2019s struggled with injuries and hasn\u2019t been able to get settled in the squad.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what the club will do with George this Spring. It\u2019s possible, maybe even likely, that he gets loaned out again, but if he\u2019s still injured it\u2019s also possible he stays at the club and goes back to U21 football until he\u2019s able to get healthy and fit again. It\u2019s a shame. I don\u2019t think Abbott has a future in Spurs\u2019 first team but he\u2019s shown that he could be a professional footballer in the Football League and could have a very nice career. We\u2019ll find out what Spurs\u2019 plans are for Abbott soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s men\u2019s team hasn\u2019t (yet) made any first team signings in the January transfer window but they\u2019ve…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,52146,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-355510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-transfer-news-rumors","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
