A young Tottenham Hotspur defender is of interest to a number of English clubs after turning down a move to Europe.Will Lankshear has sealed a £20m (including add-ons) move to Middlesbrough, while Tynan Thompson and Alfie Devine have also been allowed to leave the North London club.Ashley Phillips could also make a permanent move to a Championship side over the coming weeks, but he is not the only young centre-back who may head out of the door from Hotspur Way.Two weeks ago, BBC Sport revealed that a 21-year-old Spurs man was edging closer to a move to Poland, but there has now been a big twist in the race for his signature.Credit: Myles Magidsohn / @mylesmphotosEFL clubs circle over Tottenham’s Alfie Dorrington after proposed transfer collapsesThe player in question is Alfie Dorrington, who has been in talks over a move to Pogon Szczecin, but Football Insider have now claimed that the youngster will no longer be joining the Polish club.Pogon Szczecin were confident of finalising a deal for the centre-back after reaching an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur, but the player has turned down the move.The outlet claims that a loan move elsewhere is now on the cards for Dorrington, with several English League clubs being placed on alert after his transfer to Poland fell through.A return to League Two is considered likely following his loan spell with Salford City last season, but sides from higher divisions are also keeping tabs on the Spurs academy graduate.Dorrington’s stock remains high despite his struggles at SalfordThe centre-back struggled for regular game time at the club co-owned by the likes of Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, with the youngster starting just five league games at Salford.However, despite Dorrington’s struggles last season, he remains ‘highly-regarded’ by rival clubs in the EFL.The publication adds that while the centre-back is not in Roberto De Zerbi’s plans, Tottenham are ‘still keen for him to continue his development with regular game time’.READ MORE: Tottenham could be about to loan Mikey Moore to team who finished 14th last seasonThe post ‘Highly regarded’ Tottenham defender wanted by ‘several English clubs’ after transfer U-turn appeared first on Spurs Web.
