Talented Tottenham Hotspur youngster Keanan Bennetts is leaving the club to sign with Borussia Moenchengladbach.
German outlet Kicker report Bennetts has already undergone a medical and is poised to leave Spurs.
Bennetts has been one of the star players in Tottenham’s under-23s this past season but he has not yet found a way through into the first team, with standards higher than ever.
There was no indication that was set to change next season and Bennetts has decided to try his luck abroad.
He is the latest of a series of young English talents to do so, led by Borussia Dortmund prospect Jadon Sancho who quit Manchester City last summer and is already featuring for the German giants’ first team.
Letting Bennetts leave so easily looks like a potential error of judgement by Spurs without giving him a proper first team lok, especially after seeing Kyle Walker-Peters prosper in his limited opportunities.
Bennetts can play as a winger or a full-back and could have been a replacement for Danny Rose.
