Tottenham took their loan army up to 11 players as the transfer window came to a close on Tuesday and it's time to look at how they got on this week.
With Bryan Gil, Djed Spence and Harvey White heading out in the last few days, Spurs now have a remarkable £200m worth of unwanted (for now at least) signings out on loan across England and Europe. That figure would have been higher had Matt Doherty also gone on loan as planned to Atletico Madrid, only for the club to realise that with eight players out on international loans already FIFA rules prevented a ninth and instead the Irishman's contract was mutually terminated.
On the club's loan army, Tottenham's managing director of football Fabio Paratici. said: "We have to divide it because we have some players, five or six players, that are more senior, are not older but senior, 24, 25, 26 and the other five or six players are really younger, so like (Dane) Scarlett or (Troy) Parrott. I think some of them have to develop, to have minutes for their career, to grow up and to also to come back home and the others need minutes because they have to play because we don’t have space in our squad in that moment."
