From the source
Will Lankshear is already putting together an insane season for Middlesborough after a summer sale from Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 13 goals in 13 games. It is only the EFL Championship, but Lankshear is showing such a nose for goal with both his positioning and finishing that it is hard not to feel like he is better than Dominic Solanke already.
Solanke is coming off a dreadful season for Tottenham, and even though he played a key role in Spurs winning the Europa League in his debut campaign in 2024/25, it was not like he was smashing double digit goals or playing great then either.
But while Lankshear may be a better option right now and in the future, keeping him and giving him a shot this season in the squad would not have been the solution.
