Spurs defender takes to social media to announce he is leaving the club
Malachi Fagan-Walcott has now officially announced his departure from Tottenham Hotspur and praised the staff for helping him become the player he is today.
Fagan-Walcott, who has represented England at the Under-17 and Under-16 levels, was highly regarded as he progressed through the Spurs age group ranks.
The center back made his senior debut for Spurs in the club’s Champions League loss against RB Leipzig in 2020 when he was just 18 years old, and that has been his sole first-team outing to this day.
In January 2021, the 21-year-old had a disastrous brief stint at Dundee United, when he sustained a season-ending injury after making only two appearances for the Scottish team.
The dynamic defender played 20 times in the Under-18 Premier League before making 49 appearances for Spurs’ Under-21s in Premier League 2 over the past few years (Transfermarkt).
Malachi Fagan-Walcott announces Tottenham exit
Fagan-Walcott has already issued a heartfelt farewell statement on social media to announce that his eight-year time with the Lilywhites has come to an end.
Several years ago, it appeared that Fagan-Walcott would be the following academy defender to break into the Tottenham first team, following in Tanganga’s footsteps.
But for the past two to three years, the 21-year-old’s growth has completely stopped, in part because of his injury issues. The center-back will be aiming for a new beginning away from Spurs to enable him restart his career.
