Report: Tottenham hold pre-summer exit talks over another player with early agreement possible
According to a Tottenham Hotspur source, speaking to Football Insider, the club have now held more pre-summer exit talks amid the Cameron Carter-Vickers negotiations as news emerges on Malachi Fagan-Walcott.
As revealed by The Daily Record earlier this week, Spurs and Celtic are in ongoing talks over a permanent exit for defender Carter-Vickers who has shined on loan at Parkhead.
The Hoops possess an option to buy Tottenham’s central defender for £6 million, a figure which may rise to £10m through add-ons, with sources from Carter-Vickers’ camp believing Celtic is the best place for him to grow.
Amid these negotiations, however, it appears have also held pre-summer exit talks over Fagan-Walcott as Tottenham seek to reach a 2022/2023 loan agreement.
According to FI, the Lilywhites are keen to strike a temporary deal for the 20-year-old to go out on loan next season for the benefit of his development – coming after he recently signed a new deal.
It is believed they have opened talks with a number of English third-tier sides with initial discussions held.
Indeed, these League One clubs are also apparently eager to secure an ‘early agreement’ for the Spurs central defender ahead of next year.
A move away for Fagan-Walcott over 2022/2023 is arguably just what he needs as Spurs aim to further his development and raise a star for the future.
There is already plenty of promise surrounding the Englishman with expert John Wenham sharing what Ledley King told him. The ex-Lilywhites hero apparently ‘really rates’ Fagan-Walcott who is also a ‘boyhood Tottenham fan’ (Football Insider) – tags which could open up the possibility of him playing his way into the hearts of Spurs supporters one day.
For now, though, experience playing first
