Tottenham player Brandon Austin ‘fighting to save career’ as new details emerge – Sources
Tottenham backup goalkeeper Brandon Austin is “fighting to save his career” at the club, sources have told Football Insider.
The 25-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to make a senior appearance for the club since joining in 2015.
Sources have told Football Insider (12 March) that second-choice shot-stopper Fraser Forster is set to be sidelined until mid-April.
It is believed that the veteran goalkeeper’s injury has opened the door for Austin to stake a claim for a new deal with the Lilywhites and he could be offered a new contract.
