One highly-rated Tottenham Hotspur talent who has had an outstanding 2024/25 season out on loan is expected to be rewarded with an improved long-term deal.
While Spurs fans were raving about the way Jamie Donley has impressed at Leyton Orient through the season, another Tottenham loanee was just as impressive for the O’s.
The League One club ultimately fell just short of promotion after a defeat in the playoff final to Charlton Athletic, but did have Josh Keeley to thank as one of the key reasons for making it to Wembley.
Not only was the goalkeeper outstanding between the sticks all campaign, keeping 16 clean sheets in the process, but also played a pivotal part in their play-off campaign, having proved to be the hero in their penalty shoot-out win against Stockport County.
Josh Keeley will be rewarded with a new Tottenham contract
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now claimed that the Tottenham academy graduate will be handed a new contract by the Lilywhites this summer as a reward for his impressive development over the last 12 months.
Some fans might be wondering if the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international may have a first-team role at Spurs next season, particularly following the departure of Fraser Forster.
However, Gold claims the plan is to find Keeley another loan move ahead of the 2025/26 season to allow him to continue to experience regular first-team football as part of his development.

The club want to loan Keeley’s next loan stint to be a team playing at a higher level than Orient, and there is thought to be no shortage of interest in the goalkeeper.
Two other Spurs talents could also receive new contracts
Two other Tottenham midfielders, who also impressed on loan, could also be in line to receive extensions before the start of the new season, according to Gold.
The journalist says that Alfie Devine, who shone as a number ten at Westerlo in the Belgium top flight, may also get a new deal.
Meanwhile, George Abbott, who was nominated for the League Two Player of the Season award, after his showing at Notts County, could also be in line for an extension.
