Tottenham Hotspur announces return of former midfielder Matthew Craig

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Matthew Craig has been linked with a move this month.

Mansfield and Doncaster Rovers are reportedly keen on signing the 21-year-old midfielder on loan. The player is currently on loan at Barnsley, but he has fallen down the pecking order. He is no longer a regular starter for them.

The 21-year-old midfielder has previously played for Doncaster on loan, and it remains to be seen whether he is keen on a return.

Tottenham are now looking to bring him back to the club, and they are considering a different destination for him this month. According to Football Insider, the Scottish under-21 international could be loaned out once again before the transfer window closes.

The news will come as a major boost for Mansfield and Doncaster, who are looking to improve their squad this month. Craig could prove to be a quality addition for them in the short term. The 21-year-old needs regular gametime to continue his development and going out on loan once again this month would be ideal for him.

Sitting on the bench at Tottenham or playing for their reserves is unlikely to benefit him.

The 21-year-old is highly rated at the club and he has a bright future. He will look to establish himself as a first-team player for the North London club in the coming seasons. For now, he should focus on his development and play regularly at a competitive level.

The player has a contract with Tottenham until 2026, and it will be interesting to see if he can go out on loan this month and return as a better player in the summer. He will certainly hope to force his way into the first team set-up soon and a fruitful loan spell will help him.
