Spurs have 11 players out on loan across England, France, Spain and Italy, all of them having differing degrees of success away from the north London club.
So how exactly did all 11 of the Tottenham players get on across the continent this week? football.london takes a look.

Destiny Udogie (Udinese)
On Sunday, Destiny Udogie was a visitor to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, to see the pitch where he will be hoping to raid up and down the left wing next season.
The 20-year-old wing-back signed for Spurs last summer only to be loaned back to Udinese where he has continued to develop and impress, with three goals and two assists to his name from 19 Serie A games this season so far.
The Italy U21 international got to meet his team-mates ahead of the game against West Ham having been unable to really do so in his whirlwind visit to Hotspur Way last August. He then watched the 2-0 win from the stands, among the fans, as he took in the huge stadium that will eventually become his home.
Udogie's visit to N17 was kept low key, so as not to upset anyone at Udinese in the aftermath of their 3-1 defeat at Inter Milan on Friday, but it would have given him a sense of what is to come. There is plenty of excitement within Spurs about Udogie's arrival this summer and the impact he will have on the pitch.
Harry Winks (Sampdoria)
Harry Winks made it five consecutive 90 minute displays after his return from injury as struggling Sampdoria went down 2-1 at home to Bologna.
The midfielder, who turned 27 this month, has been speaking to a number of English media outlets this week as he finds his form in Serie A. In one interview, Winks told The Times about needing to move out of Spurs, even if his new challenge was a tough one because of the ankle injury that robbed him of the first half of the season.
"Everyone, me and the club, we both knew it was time to part," Winks said, before admitting that he would not have blamed Sampdoria for cutting his loan short as he struggled with his ankle, eventually needing surgery.
"Normally I’d say there weren’t any doubts, because you always think you’re going to be fine, but this time there were. It was one of the toughest times in my career. You’re moving abroad, trying to get settled in, at a new club, and the main reason is to play football. That’s the one constant you have, playing the game, but instead you’re answering questions about why the ankle isn’t getting better.
"I feel like I let the club down in that sense. I’m not sure if there were discussions between Sampdoria and Tottenham but it could have been an easy decision to send me back and say let’s leave it. I said from the start, I don’t want to leave, I want to push to be fit for the second half of the season and credit to the club, they stuck by me. That’s why I feel obligated now to give everything. I want to repay the faith when I get the chance."
On his time at Spurs Winks explained that he has lived his dream at the north London club but found it more and more difficult to get minutes.
"I had some amazing years at Spurs. I’ve been at the club since I was five, I went to games when I was ten," he said. "What I did there was way beyond my vision and my dream and I’m so proud of that and thankful to the club for some amazing experiences in my life.
"[Last season though] the situation was clear. I told the club I wanted to go and play regularly. I wasn’t happy just being on the bench and not getting minutes. Every time I played, even if I did well I would be out the next game, and it’s really difficult to play your best football like that. I said to the club, with no animosity, ‘I want to play regularly. I’ve had some amazing years at Spurs but I want to go and get my confidence and fitness back. I need that to show my qualities again.’
"I spoke to Sampdoria, the manager, the director of football, and one thing that really attracted me was historically they’re a huge club. The main driver was I wanted to play for a team that wanted me, that respected me enough and wanted to commit to me in that sense. I wanted to feel wanted and appreciated because in the last couple of years it was difficult at Spurs. I didn’t have that feeling."
On what comes next when his loan ends this summer, Winks added: "I'm not really thinking too far ahead. The most important thing is playing for Sampdoria and keeping the club in the division. Next year when I return, I don’t know where I will end up, but it will be good to have playing in Serie A and for Sampdoria on my CV. It’s something I’m very proud of, to have played for these two historic clubs."
Djed Spence and Joe Rodon (Rennes)
Rennes got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at home against Clermont on Sunday. Djed Spence played the full 90 minutes but Joe Rodon found himself on the bench for the first time in over a month in Ligue 1 as an unused substitute.
Spence earned himself a 7.19 in WhoScored's player ratings. The 22-year-old played one key pass, went on two dribbles, sent one shot off target and had a better pass success rate (97.9%) from his 47 passes than any other starting player on the pitch. Defensively, he completed one tackle, one interception and five clearances.
Spence also got 90 minutes under his belt in the Europa League as Rennes lost 2-1 away against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday night in Poland. Rodon was also an unused substitute that night.
Bryan Gil (Sevilla)
Bryan Gil followed up his goal last week against Mallorca with another start for Sevilla in Thursday evening's home Europa League clash against PSV. However, he found himself taken off at the break with the score goalless and the hosts went on to win 3-0.
The 21-year-old then came off the bench for 27 minutes on Sunday afternoon in La Liga as Sevilla drew 1-1 at Rayo Vallecano.
Tanguy Ndombele (Napoli)
Tanguy Ndombele's sparse game time continued with his latest brief cameo from the bench at the weekend.
The 26-year-old has come off the bench in 11 of Napoli's past 12 Serie A matches and on Friday he got 12 minutes under his belt as they won 2-0 at Sassuolo to continue their title push. Ndombele looks likely to end the season with a winners' medal though with Napoli sitting 15 points clear of Inter at the top of the table.
Ndombele will be hoping for some Champions League game time on Tuesday night as Napoli travel to Frankfurt in the last 16.
Sergio Reguilon (Atletico Madrid)
Sergio Reguilon continues to be an unused substitute at Atletico Madrid. The 26-year-old remained on the bench for the 1-0 home win against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
The left-back is yet to feature for the Madrid side since receiving a red card in their 1-1 draw at Almeria in mid-January and has only made five appearances for his loan club this season after returning from a groin injury.
Now Spanish media outlet Marca have reported that Reguilon could miss another month of action with another groin problem after pulling out of training this week.
Matt Doherty, who joined Atletico on a six-month contract in January after having his Spurs contract ended, is also yet to get his first minutes for the La Liga club.
Giovani Lo Celso (Villarreal)
Lo Celso continues to work towards his return to football. The midfielder has not played a game for club or country since sustaining a hamstring injury at the end of October, which led to him missing out on Argentina winning the World Cup in Qatar.
Harvey White (Derby)
Harvey White made his full debut for Derby on Saturday as he took on a defensive midfield role in the 2-0 victory against Charlton in League One.
He got praised for his 74 minutes of action by The Derbyshire Telegraph, getting a seven in their player ratings with the review: "A strong full debut for the Spurs loanee that will certainly give Warne plenty to ponder in regards to his midfield selection for next weekend's trip to Barnsley. The 21-year-old could have even marked it with a wonder strike as an effort from distance narrowly sailed over the crossbar in the first half."
Speaking after the game, White said of his first start: "Amazing. In front of 30,000, getting the win, it felt really good.
"Obviously I knew it before coming here but they are top lads as well, off the pitch, talking to me, learning from them that way. Then on the pitch, playing with them, training sessions, it's very good so far and it will continue to get better as well.
"For me personally, I just want to keep playing football and keep improving and then, obviously, we want to win the league. If we can't do that - there's no reason why we can't do that - then automatics definitely."
Troy Parrott (Preston North End)
Troy Parrott followed up his goal from the penalty spot last week against Luton by coming on for the second half of Preston's 0-0 draw at Hull, but he missed a big chance for the visitors, sending a first-time effort inches wide, on the spin.
The 21-year-old received a six in Lancs Live's player ratings, with the review: "Did impact the game in the second half. Went looking for the ball, brought others into the game and ran at defenders. Spurned PNE's big opportunity of the match, which he will be frustrated with."
Dane Scarlett (Portsmouth)
Dane Scarlett continues to get minutes late in matches since John Mousinho replaced Danny Cowley at the Portsmouth helm last month. The 18-year-old has started only once under the new man and despite scoring the winner from the bench last week against Burton, his reward was just 16 minutes at the weekend in the 0-0 draw at Lincoln City.
Speaking to The News this month, Portsmouth player Joe Rafferty hailed Scarlett and claimed that the teenager can "go as high as he wants" in the game.
"Dane’s been really good," said Rafferty. "It’s been difficult for him at times because he’s a young lad, he’s coming out on his first loan so of course it’s going to be difficult for him at times. But we’ve just got to stick with him and keep giving him the confidence.
"Although he is a young boy, he needs confidence in himself and when he does have that he’s a really good player. We know Dane’s talented, it's as simple as that. With young boys they can be hit and miss at some times - but that’s fine, they’re still learning. Hopefully he can kick on and now score us some more goals."
He added: "I can’t put too much pressure on him but Dane can do whatever he wants in a game. He’s really talented and when he can show what he’s about on a consistent basis then he can go as high as he wants."
