# Tottenham Hotspur: Insider drops Brooklyn Lyons-Foster transfer news

**An insider at Tottenham Hotspur has now revealed that Brooklyn Lyons-Foster was ‘close’ to leaving on loan in the January transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: One for the future

Having made [over 100](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brooklyn-lyons-foster/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/462698) appearances for Spurs at youth level over the course of his career so far, Lyons-Foster is certainly one that the North London club will have high hopes for.

The young defender has not yet played a senior game for them, but has been named on the bench in a couple of their UEFA Europa Conference League matches this term ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brooklyn-lyons-foster/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/462698/plus/0?saison=&verein=148&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

### The Latest: ‘Close’ to exit

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-fumes-at-tottenham-over-pointless-jamie-bowden-and-jneil-bennett-snubs/), THFC insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks updates about the club on his [Lilywhite Rose](https://twitter.com/Lilywhite_Rose/status/1439119178980528128) channels on social media, has now revealed that Lyons-Foster was ‘close’ to exiting on loan, but picked up an unfortunate injury that ultimately ruled any deal out:

*“One player who I believe was close to going was Brooklyn Lyons-Foster.*

*“I was told of interest in him but unfortunately he picked up an injury in the 23s home game against Blackburn and that ruled him out of the loan picture.”*

### The Verdict: Shame

It would have been good for Lyons-Foster to go out on loan and gain some experience playing men’s football, which he should really be doing now at the age of 21.

With Antonio Conte’s new three-back formation, he will want to call on more central defenders in the senior squad, with left-back Ben Davies often used as a [centre-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-davies/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/192765/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) by the Italian manager.

Incidentally, Lyons-Foster shares the [same agent](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/icm-stellar-sports/beraterfirma/berater/190) as both the Wales international and Joe Rodon, and so could use some advice over how to get the best loan move possible for him in order to further his development.
