Tottenham Hotspur want £20 million for 21-year-old Will Lankshear and have turned down multiple bids for him, according to Hayters.

The ex-U's striker, who was the club's top scorer last term with 12 goals in all competitions, is highly rated by his parent side who narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League last season finishing two points above the drop zone.

However, they haven't ruled out selling him if the right offer comes in with Portuguese side Sporting CP reportedly interested.

In addition Spurs is also considering another loan move for Lankshear to a Championship club, although the London team is looking to fund a summer spending spree that has already seen a £52 million bid for defender Jan Paul Van Hecke accepted by Brighton.

Lankshear has made three Premier League appearances for Spurs as well as scoring one goal in three Europa League features.

In a breakout season in men's football, the England youth international became a fan favourite in OX4 for his tenacity and goal scoring success in a struggling Championship team.

The 21-year-old's attitude off the pitch also endeared the fans to his name, with the player crediting the club as the place where it all began ahead of a hopefully successful career.

Reports suggest United are in talks to add the 19-year-old centre forward on loan, with Donley also attracting interest from other clubs in Sky Bet Championship, plus some sides in League One.

Donley made his senior Spurs debut as a late substitute for Brennan Johnson during a 3-3 draw at Manchester City in December.

He was again a late substitute, this time for Son Heung-min, when Spurs beat Newcastle United 4-1 a week later.

Donley gained further experience from the bench as Tottenham beat Burnley 1-0 in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup, and in a 3-2 win at home to Brentford at the end of January.

The left-footer was born in Northern Ireland and has been at Tottenham since the age of eight.
