Oxford United are one of four Football League teams showing an interest in Tottenham midfielder, Harvey White.

This comes from Football Insider, Pete O’Rourke, who adds West Brom, Luton and Barnsley are also keen to land the 21-year-old.

Spurs are looking to offload the midfielder on loan before the January transfer deadline and are now assessing the options.

The defensive midfielder made his Premier League debut earlier this month during a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, and has been on the bench on a number of occasions, including five Champions League group games.

The midfielder has been on loan before, making 22 appearances at Portsmouth in the 2020/21 campaign.

But he returned to Spurs and spent the last 18 months playing for the youth sides. For the U21s, white has turned out 66 times, where he has scored 15 times and added 18 assists.

Following the injury to Alex Gorrin, defensive midfield is an area the club certainly need reinforcements, particularly if one of Cameron Brannagan, Lewis Bate or Marcus McGuane were to pick up an injury.
