Spurs expert says Tottenham made ‘utter disaster’ decision to sell striker now scoring 8 goals in 11 games

The 21-year-old center-back and forward threat has taken to life at Teesside with ease, firing in eight goals across 11 appearances in all competitions.

His prolific streak has established him as one of the most lethal young finishers in the second tier, underscoring Tottenham’s error in allowing him to leave permanently.

Lankshear’s immediate success at Middlesbrough comes as little surprise to those who closely monitored his development in North London.

During his time with Tottenham’s academy, the forward maintained an impressive strike rate, notably claiming the Premier League 2 Golden Boot after scoring 18 goals in 19 appearances during the 2023–24 campaign.

Despite demonstrating natural instincts inside the penalty box, Spurs opted to capitalize on his market value rather than integrate him into the senior squad.
