Spurs rejecting approaches
Tottenham have rejected approaches from Sporting, Wolves and Southampton for Lankshear, according to Football.London.

Tottenham's reluctance to part with Lankshear suggests they continue to view the England youth international as part of their long-term plans. That said, expect both Wolves and Southampton to return with improved offers in the coming weeks. Lankshear would benefit from another season on loan in the Championship before competing for a steady role in the Premier League in the 2027/28 campaign.
