Tottenham's decision to let Will Lankshear leave the club is looking increasingly questionable, according to EPL Index, as the young striker continues to make an impact at Middlesbrough.
The report suggests that every goal Lankshear scores on Teesside is amplifying scrutiny of Spurs' call to sanction his sale, with the move now being framed as one of those transfer decisions that "keep shouting" rather than fading quietly into the background.
While specific details of Lankshear's output at Middlesbrough aren't laid out in the source, the thrust of the piece is clear: an insider view that Tottenham may have prematurely given up on a talent who is proving his worth away from north London.
As with many such situations, hindsight is doing a lot of work here — but if Lankshear keeps finding the net, Spurs' academy graduates and recruitment staff alike may face further questions about squad planning and player pathways. For now, though, this remains a case of a promising exit looking better by the week for Middlesbrough, and worse by the week for Tottenham, per EPL Index's assessment.
