Tottenham expert issues ‘definite’ Japhet Tanganga transfer claim after ‘devastating’ news confirmed
Tottenham will not look to sell Japhet Tanganga after he suffered a season-ending injury.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
On Friday (18 March), Tottenham revealed Tanganga, 22, will miss the remainder of the season after having surgery on his right knee.
The defender had been missing since mid-January with the knee issue that forced him under the knife.
He has 19 appearances to his name this season and dazzled in this season’s opener against Man City.
Wenham insists Tanganga still has a long-term future at the club.
“The news is devastating for him but Tanganga is still under contract until 2025,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“He counts as homegrown and club affiliated. For me, there’s definitely zero chance of Tottenham moving him on.
“He is valuable. He can come in at centre-half as part of a three or at right wing-back.
“There are a lot of players who you would look to get rid of ahead of him.
“He’s on relatively low wages too. He has also made 19 appearances this season which is 18 more than Joe Rodon.
“If you are talking about players who can be moved on, that’s all you need to say.
“It’s a shame he’s injured but we have plenty of cover at the moment.
“If there was any time for him to get injured, it would be now because we actually have a bit of depth.”
