How Tottenham's Loaned Out Players Will Get on When They Return to North London - Ranked

​Tottenham have been labelled many things in their recent history, from bottlers to a mere feeder club for Europe's elite.

But something they haven't been tagged as of late is a 'loaning club' and quite frankly, the art of loaning players out is something Spurs have done quite poorly over the past few years.

Currently, however, there are a few not so high profile names enjoying temporary spells elsewhere and here at 90min, we're taking a look at whether they have a chance of succeeding under the Jose Mourinho regime when/if they return to north London.

A star-studded lineup this...


7. Danny Rose

Danny Rose

There was a time where Rose was the most feared left-back in the division.

His marauding nature and ability in the final third used to overwhelm opposing defenders before his sharp decline - not helped by injuries - saw him become not only a mediocre footballer, but a relatively toxic figure in the Spurs dressing room as well.

The defender struggled under Mourinho in the rare starts he was given this season before being shipped out to Newcastle in January. The Portuguese boss has since hinted that Rose's career in north London is all but over. 

Likelihood of Making it at Tottenham: 0.1/10 (has already made it, though)


6. Cameron Carter-Vickers

Cameron Carter-Vickers

After establishing himself as the academy's most promising centre-half during Mauricio Pochettino's reign, Carter-Vickers has endured a string of pretty unsuccessful loan spells following his first temporary move to Sheffield United.

The American just hasn't developed and he was particularly poor during his stint at Stoke last season. 

While a fine ball-player, Carter-Vickers is a second-tier defender at best I'm afraid - don't let his display for Swansea against Man City in the FA Cup two years ago fool you.

Likelihood of Making it at Spurs: 1/10


5. Kyle Walker-Peters

Kyle Walker-Peters

Walker-Peters would've been much higher on this list if it wasn't for recent events.

His January loan move to Southampton is one that should've happened two or three years ago - when he first came on the scene under Mauricio Pochettino.

But instead, his development ground to a halt as he struggled for game time and while he's still a fine footballer, he hasn't turned into the star full-back he could've been. The 22-year-old's battle with Alphonso Davies in last December's Champions League clash against Bayern was a harsh reality check.

Nevertheless, with the right-back position certainly one of uncertainty at the moment for Spurs, there was a chance for KWP to establish himself as first-choice following a much-needed stint on the south coast. His recent claims, however, mean it's unlikely we'll ever see him in a Lilywhite shirt again.


Likelihood of Making it at Spurs: 1.5/10


4. Anthony Georgiou

Anthony Georgiou

A versatile wide man who's enjoyed three spells out on loan since he arrived from Watford's academy, Georgiou has offered bright performances while apart of the senior squad's recent pre-season tours.

While a Cyprus international, the 23-year-old has failed to start a game for League One outfit Bolton this season and overall, he doesn't look capable of making the grade in north London.

Likelihood of Making it at Spurs: 2/10


3. Jack Roles

Jack Roles

The longtime Spurs man finally got his loan move away in the summer, when he joined League Two outfit Cambridge. 

Following a superb debut performance against Scunthorpe and winning the division's Goal of the Month for October with an instinctive 30-yard screamer, Roles' impact at the U's gradually waned - although he does have five goals in 23 appearances this season from an advanced midfield position.

Nevertheless, the 21-year-old clearly has talent and deserves a chance at a Championship club before making a return to his parent club.

Likelihood of Making it at Spurs: 4/10


2. Luke Amos

Luke Amos,Andre Ayew

Following spells at Southend and Stevenage, Amos finally got the chance to strut his stuff in the Championship with QPR, where he's impressed this season making 25 league appearances.

His defensive nous has been impressive at the base of the R's midfield, while his aggressiveness and willingness to affect play in the final third have all been on display this season.

Amos isn't the finished article, especially in possession, but the fact he plays a position Spurs are in desperate need of right now gives him somewhat of a chance of succeeding.

Likelihood of Making it at Spurs: 6/10


1. Jack Clarke

Jack Clarke

Here he is, the most likely to succeed at Spurs: Jack Clarke. The teenager who has barely notched up 1,000 minutes in his senior career.

While he's struggled for game time since his £10m move to the Lilywhites in the summer at both Leeds and QPR, Clarke's skill set is what gives him a chance to thrive in north London. 

The 19-year-old would provide the current Spurs squad with something a little different in that he's a right-winger who likes to hug the flank. His crossing ability is superb - especially along the ground - while his directness makes him a tough proposition one-v-one, with Clarke having the knack of being able to create separation before attacking a defender.

He's also comfortable drifting in from the left and overall, he may well just have a chance of making it in north London. 

Only time will tell.

Likelihood of Making it at Spurs: 6.5/10
