Tottenham have seemingly changed their mind on a young defender, who was expected to head out on loan before today’s transfer deadline.Spurs have confirmed that Mikey Moore has completed a loan move to FC Koln despite featuring in all three of the club’s matches so far this season.He is not the only youngster to exit the club on deadline day, with left-back Souza also completing a loan move to FC Porto, with the Portuguese club having no option to buy.Kota Takai has joined Belgian side Sint-Truidense V.V on loan, but another centre-back, who was expected to head to the EFL, may be set to stay at Hotspur Way.Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty ImagesTottenham have rejected multiple loan offers for James RowswellJust a couple of days ago, it emerged that Spurs are studying various loan options for academy defender James Rowswell.However, according to The Standard journalist Sam Tabuteau, the Lilywhites have rejected multiple loan offers from League One and League Two clubs for the 20-year-old.He asserted that De Zerbi’s men are now unsure of letting Rowswell leave following an injury-disrupted pre-season.Tabuteau wrote on X: “Tottenham have rejected multiple loan offers for James Rowswell.
