Tottenham youngster John Bostock joins Sheffield Wednesday on loan until the end of the season
The youngster has struggled to break into the first team since he emerged as a prodigious 16-year-old, and joins the League One side in a bid to gain playing time
By Arthur Virgo
Bostock has made just one appearance as a substitute this season, in Spurs’ third round FA Cup win at home to Cheltenham.
With Harry Redknapp's men having also exited the Europa League at the group stage, he will now attempt to gain playing time out on loan with the League One side as they challenge for promotion.
The 20-year-old controversially joined Spurs from Crystal Palace in May 2008, with a transfer fee of an initial £700,000 set by a tribunal after the clubs could not agree on compensation for the player.
The attacking midfielder went on to become the youngest player to appear for Tottenham’s first team when he played in the UEFA Cup in November 2008 that year, aged 16.
However he has struggled to break into the first team, and has in previous seasons gone on loan to Brentford and Hull.
