Harvey White, a midfielder for League One team Stevenage, was acquired by Tottenham yesterday.
With the addition of players like James Maddison, Manor Solomon, Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Alejo Veliz, and Brennan Johnson, Spurs had a busy transfer window.
These additions are a part of the club’s aim, under manager Ange Postecoglou, to assemble a more competitive side.
Additionally, they released a number of players who exceeded the manager’s needs. While Tanganga and Sergio Reguilon completed deadline day loan deals to Augsburg and Manchester United, respectively, Joe Rodon and Djed Spence joined Leeds on loan.
Tottenham was able to arrange one more departing, it has now been confirmed. They have an arrangement with Stevenage that will allow Harvey White, another unemployed player, to join the League One team.
We have reached agreement with League One side Stevenage for the transfer of Harvey White.
Wishing you the best for the future, Harvey! 🤍

During the 2020–21 season, White made many appearances for the main team of Tottenham, notably in the FA Cup and UEFA Europa League.
He played against Crystal Palace in January of the following year to make his Premier League debut.
After an initial loan stint at Portsmouth, White spent the second half of the previous season at Derby County.
The additional additions have already had a beneficial effect. Recently, the club defeated Burnley convincingly, 5-2, because to outstanding performances from players like James Maddison, Manor Solomon, and Heung-min Son.
They have so far failed to lose in the Premier League after winning three straight games while drawing one.

The goalkeeper could yet be forced out of the club…
Given how bad they were last season and the fact that they lost their top player Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, Tottenham Hotspur has been one of the outstanding teams thus far this season.
However, following Spurs’ failure to qualify for Europe last season, which led to Antonio Conte’s dismissal, there is no denying that change was required in North London.
Some could have been concerned that the Lillywhites wouldn’t start up again due to the technical sector undergoing modification once more. But under Ange Postecoglou, who has welcomed numerous changes to both the workforce and the outcomes, that hasn’t been the case at all.
One of the club’s most seasoned players may soon say goodbye to the former Celtic manager.
What’s the latest Spurs transfer news?
Even if they lost Kane, Spurs can at least boast that their summer was generally successful in terms of incoming players. In total, they welcomed eight newcomers, with James Maddison and Brennan Johnson standing out thanks to their high-profile deals.
Johnson, who arrived on deadline day, has obviously yet to get the opportunity to make an impact, but to suggest that Maddison has impressed for his new team would be an understatement.
The former Leicester City midfielder has so far contributed to four goals in four games with two goals and two assists each. Maddison seems more and more like one of the summer’s top signings with each passing week.
Hugo Lloris’ future has been questioned as a result of Spurs also signing goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario alongside Maddison.
The World Cup champion was reportedly offered to Newcastle United and Nice on deadline day, but was unable to reach an agreement with either club. After the shot-stopper was previously left out of Postecoglou’s plans, Spurs and, by extension, chairman Daniel Levy, might potentially terminate his contract.
Should Spurs terminate Hugo Lloris’ contract?
Lloris has been a great employee at Spurs and will be remembered as one of their most illustrious captains during the Premier League era in North London.
Lloris is reportedly paid £100k per week, but it’s time for him and Spurs to part ways, especially if Postecoglou doesn’t have any intentions for him at any point this season. With 43 weeks left on his contract, Spurs could void the £4.3m agreement.
Vicario and Fraser Forster are the current choices for the Lillywhites to use between the sticks, and neither of those players appears set to be replaced anytime soon by Lloris. Given that the Frenchman is now 36 as well, it might be the perfect time for Spurs to end their relationship and move on.
The most suitable course of action for both parties may be to terminate the goalkeeper’s contract. Lloris won’t be able to leave his current club until January if he is still bound by his contract. Furthermore, he won’t want to become much older and get closer to retirement without playing a single minute of football.
Vicario and Fraser Forster are the only available choices for the Lillywhites right now, and neither of them is set to be replaced by Lloris very soon. It could be best for Spurs to end their relationship and move on at this point because the Frenchman is also 36 years old.
All sides may agree that terminating the goalkeeper’s contract is the best course of action. Lloris won’t be eligible to go until January if his contract is still in effect. He won’t want to move any closer to retirement at his age by playing just one minute of football.
