Dilan Markanday may have only played 15 minutes of first team football for Tottenham Hotspur but his departure has caused a stir among the club's fans.
The 20-year-old this week penned a three-and-a-half year deal with Blackburn, with the option for another year, and has had new boss Tony Mowbray crowing about the potential of the young player the title-challenging Championship side have secured.
Markanday spurned a new contract at Tottenham in order to pursue what he saw as a better chance of first team football at Blackburn and he leaves north London for a nominal fee, but with what football.london understands is a large sell-on clause.
