# Tottenham: Insider drops Kwaku Oduroh update

**Tottenham insider John Wenham believes the club will not offer Manchester City right-back Kwaku Oduroh a deal after his trial in north London, [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-transfer-news-expert-reveals-latest-on-signing-man-city-starlet-kwaku-oduroh-after-trial/) report.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs trial

Spurs took Oduroh on [trial](https://www.spurs-web.com/spurs-news/report-tottenham-take-man-city-player-on-trial-captain-of-the-u18s-last-year/) towards the end of February, with the 19-year-old starting for the Under-23s against Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Ghanian, a right-back who can also play in a [holding midfield role](https://www.mancity.com/players/kwaku-oduroh), has been on the books at City from Under-9 level and captained their Under-18 side last season.

His trial at N17 now appears to have come to an end, with the teenager [recently](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-tottenham-kwaku-oduroh-23474649) turning out for Manchester City Under-23s against Liverpool.

### The Latest: Wenham’s update

Spurs insider Wenham was quizzed on Oduroh by [FI](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-transfer-news-expert-reveals-latest-on-signing-man-city-starlet-kwaku-oduroh-after-trial/) following his visit to Hotspur Way. He doesn’t think the club will offer the defender a long-term deal and feels he isn’t better than what Spurs currently have.

> “I’ll be totally honest, I watched him in our game against Blackburn Under 23s and he didn’t look any better than what we already had.
>
> “He came on trial, I understand his Man City contract does expire this summer.
>
> “But based on what I saw from that game, I don’t think Tottenham are going to pursue this any further.
>
> “To me, he didn’t look like an improvement on what we already had.
>
> “They can’t actually offer him a contract until 1 July anyway, if his contract expired on 30 June.
>
> “It’s not one I can see happening to be honest.”

### The Verdict: Only time will tell…

Oduroh could have made a cut-price move to north London in the summer with his City contact expiring over the coming months, however, that doesn’t look likely.

Only time will tell if snubbing a move for the versatile full-back will be a good decision, but Spurs are well-stocked at right-back in their [Under-23 squad](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur-u23/startseite/verein/9254).

Marcel Lavinier, Dermi Lusala and Kallum Cesay are all right-backs by trade coming through in north London, so perhaps that contributed to Spurs’ decision on Oduroh.
