Tottenham Hotspur today confirmed that winger Nathan Oduwa has left the club in order to join Slovenian side Olimpija Ljubljana.

Oduwa, 20, has come up through the ranks at White Hart Lane, having joined the club at the age of just 11 back in 2007.

A pacey, skilful winger who has become known for his flamboyant flicks and tricks, Oduwa had loan spells with Luton Town, Rangers, Colchester United and Peterborough United, playing 41 games away from White Hart Lane.

Peterborough terminated Oduwa’s loan spell in January, leaving Oduwa to return to Tottenham with his Spurs career going nowhere, having failed to make his debut for the club.

Now, Tottenham have confirmed that winger Oduwa has left the club on a permanent basis, as he has make a shock move to Slovenia with Olimpija Ljubljana today.

It’s unclear just how much Tottenham sold Oduwa for, but his departure has sparked some reaction from Spurs fans on Twitter this afternoon.

Some believe that Tottenham have wasted a young talent in Oduwa, claiming that he should have been given a chance in the first-team, with one fans even stating that Oduwa is a more exciting prospect than Harry Winks, who earned a new contract on the same day Oduwa was sold.

Others don’t understand the fuss over Oduwa, highlighting that he struggled to make a major impact in Scotland or in League One, also noting that he has had to move to Slovenia to get first-team football, so why would he be good enough for Tottenham?
