Spurs fans were delighted to hear that young goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman has signed a new contract with the club this week.
It was announced on the club Twitter page on Wednesday evening that the 21-year-old has signed a contract extension, meaning his deal will now run until 2022. Whiteman, who is a product of the club’s youth academy, is a name a lot of Spurs fans will recognise, as he has appeared on the bench five times already this season, following injuries to Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm.
Although the Englishman is yet to make his first appearance for the Spurs senior side, fans are no doubt delighted that one of the club’s hottest prospects has put pen to paper. Whiteman is a regular for Spurs u’23 squad and has been capped by England up to u’19 level, so is clearly regarded as one for the future.
Should Whiteman be sent out on loan?
Yes
No

These Spurs fans are clearly delighted to hear that Whiteman has signed a new deal and will be hoping to see him make his first-team debut in the near future.
What do we think?
It’s good news for Spurs that Whiteman has signed a new deal and you hope that with the injuries to Lloris and Vorm, he may well get his chance in upcoming cup games in order to give Paulo Gazzaniga a rest.
