Middlesbrough are poised to secure the signing of Tottenham Hotspur forward Will Lankshear, reaching an agreement that could eventually be worth up to £20 million. The 21-year-old striker impressed last season during a loan spell with Oxford United in the Championship, raising expectations for a breakthrough at Spurs.

Despite his promising performances, Lankshear faced limited opportunities to join Tottenham’s senior squad. As a result, the club has agreed to allow him to leave, opening the door for Middlesbrough to finalize the deal. The two clubs have reportedly settled on a transfer package, although personal terms with the player are still being negotiated.

This move follows Middlesbrough’s initial interest in January, with manager Kim Hellberg aiming to bring Lankshear to the team. If completed, the transfer would represent a significant investment by Middlesbrough, reflecting confidence in the young forward’s potential at Championship level.
