Tottenham Hotspur have allowed TJ Eyoma to leave the club on a permanent basis – and Lincoln City fans are absolutely buzzing.
Eyoma, 21, was born in Hackney and came up through the Tottenham ranks having been spotted at local side Crown & Manor.
Eyoma has struggled to break into the Tottenham first team setup, making just six appearances during his time with the club.
Last term, Tottenham sent Eyoma on loan to Lincoln City after his initial loan spell in January 2020 was cut short due to the global pandemic.
Eyoma played a key role in Lincoln reaching the League One play-off final, racking up 53 appearances across all competitions.
Capable of playing at right back or centre back, Eyoma was a fan favourite at Lincoln – and he has now turned his move into a permanent one.
No fee was confirmed, and his contract is a secret too, but Eyoma was presented as a permanent Imps star on Tuesday night.
Lincoln fans have taken to Twitter to call the deal ‘incredible’ and ‘unbelievable’, believing he was ‘fantastic’ last season.
Others think Eyoma is exactly what Lincoln need, branding Eyoma a ‘massive signing’ after clinching his return from Tottenham.
