Tottenham may have thrown away next Erling Haaland for same price as Ashley Phillips
Story updated
The story in brief
30-second readTottenham sold Will Lankshear, who is now thriving at Middlesbrough, scoring 11 goals this season, prompting some pundits to criticize Spurs for letting him go, with Darren Bent suggesting it was due to 'big club snobbery'.
Lankshear's performance is notable, as he and Erling Haaland are the only players across the top four tiers of English football to have scored double figures this season, with Lankshear on 11 and Haaland on 12 goals.
Although Tottenham do not have a buy-back option on Lankshear, they have a matching right clause, allowing them to match any future offer for the player, but a return is unlikely as Lankshear is content at Middlesbrough.
