Sources: Tottenham ready to accept Harvey White offer

Tottenham have told rising star Harvey White he is free to complete a loan move before the window shuts, sources have told Football Insider.

The 21-year-old is wanted by Championship and League One clubs but is no longer on the radar of previous suitors Blackpool.

The Championship outfit had made an enquiry for White but are now prioritising a defensive signing rather than a midfielder.

White, who has come through the youth ranks at Tottenham, made his Premier League debut earlier this month (4 January) in the win at Crystal Palace.

He has made the bench under the Italian on a number of occasions this season, including for five of Spurs’ six Champions League group games.

White is also a fixture for Tottenham’s Under-21 side, and has consistently impressed at that level.

The midfielder’s only loan spell away from the club came in the 2020-21 season.

He joined League One Portsmouth for the second half of the campaign and made 22 appearances for the south coast club.

However, just six of those outings came from the start – including in the EFL Trophy final loss against Salford City at Wembley.

However, he has spent the last 18 months at Hotspur Way playing for the club’s various youth sides.

White is primarily a defensive midfielder but can also play further forward – as well as filling in at left-back.

On 26 December, Spurs expert John Wenham told this site that White needs a loan after his development stagnated during his time back at Hotspur Way,

In other news, sources have told this site that Tottenham are plotting a move to sign Jordan Pickford
