Tottenham Hotspur academy graduate Jamie Donley is expected to extend his contract and complete a loan move, Alasdair Gold has now revealed.
Jamie Donley is set for a loan move
Alejo Veliz and Dane Scarlett have both been loaned out to Valencia and Oxford United respectively by Tottenham and several reports over recent days have indicated that Spurs are also looking to arrange temporary moves for Donley, Alfie Devine and Ashley Phillips (The Standard).
It now appears that Donley could be the next one out of the door, with the 19-year-old set to complete a switch to League One side Leyton Orient on a season-long loan.
According to Gold, the Lilywhites have also managed to tie down their academy graduate to a new contract, although the journalist did not reveal the length of the extension.
Finally, the Football.London reporter revealed that Orient are also exploring a move for Spurs academy goalkeeper Josh Keeley, who impressed on loan at National League side Barnet last season.

Gold took to X to write: “Understand Jamie Donley is set to head out on loan to Leyton Orient. Should get plenty of minutes at the League One club for his development. He’s also expected to be handed a new contract at Spurs. Orient also among those interested in young Tottenham goalkeeper Josh Keeley.”

Tottenham’s priority would have been to ensure that Donley plays regularly, which is why a move to a mid-table League One side makes sense.
Spurs have a good relationship with Orient and can expect the O’s to look after the midfielder while the fact that he will remain in London will also make things easier for the 19-year-old.
