Doncaster Rovers have signed young Tottenham forward Damola Ajayi on a season long loan.
The 19 year old scored on debut for Spurs in a 3-0 Europa League win over Elfsborg in January, and has chosen South Yorkshire for his first loan move away from the London club.
He has regularly featured for Tottenham youth sides, including the U18s and U21s.
Speaking to the Rovers website, Ajayi said: “I’m really pleased... This is a top club that has just had a great season and I’m ready to kick on."
“I feel like I can see what Rovers are trying to build and I feel like they’re heading in the right direction. It would be good to be a part of something big, with them having won the league last season.”
Boss Grant McCann said: “Damola is a very exciting player that we are delighted has chosen us.
“He’s a player highly thought of at Spurs and can play off the sides in our front three or as an attacking 10. He makes good decisions has lovely balance and change of pace.
“Huge thanks to Spurs and the good relationship we have with them for helping us bring Damola to Doncaster Rovers.”
