Expert: Tottenham may re-sign Danny Rose amid ‘beyond bizarre’ development
Tottenham may be about to re-sign Danny Rose after he featured for the club’s Under 21 side.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Wenham spotted Rose, 32, warming up ahead of the Spurs Under 21s’ game against Enfield on Tuesday (12 July) before he then started the game.
The defender is still contracted to Watford after signing a two-year deal with the club in the summer of 2021, following 13 years on the books at Tottenham.
Wenham claims Rose may re-join the club as a player-coach to help with squad registration rules.
“I went to watch the Under 21s the other night and to my absolute disbelief, there was Danny Rose,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“I hadn’t seen any media or any story in regards to him. To see him there and actually playing was beyond bizarre.
“I presume he was doing it just to stay fit or maybe he is looking to get into coaching. From all the reports I have heard, the academy staff seem to love him.
“There is another angle, another possibility. I just wonder if Tottenham look at an option to register him as a coach slash player and basically only play him in the Under 21s as an overage player.
“But he would count as homegrown and club trained which is very useful for Champions League and Premier League squads.
“He joined as a 17-year-old from Leeds and came through our academy. It’s an interesting angle to look at.
“He could come on very low money and he would come in and do his coaching badges at the same time.
“Liverpool did it earlier this summer with Jay Spearing. Clubs do this. That could maybe happen.”
