The Latest: Jenner reacts…
In reaction to this development, Jenner, a BBC broadcaster, claimed Spurs letting the talent go is a real ‘waste’.
“What?! That’s bizarre – he’s clearly a big talent,” the BBC Sounds host explained.
“And we have a striker crisis. Why haven’t we been playing him instead of very very young Dane Scarlett? What a waste!”
The Verdict: Agreed…
Making his senor debut this season in the Europa Conference League, Markanday has come on leaps and bounds at Spurs, even scoring an incredible 12 goals and five assists in 14 Premier League 2 starts.
The homegrown ace could’ve been a star in years to come but manager Antonio Conte’s use of a three-of-the-back formation makes Markanday’s inclusion as a winger difficult to say the least.
Lilywhites supporters will be disappointed to see him leave but will be interesting to see how he adapts to England’s second tier.
