According to HITC Football, Plymouth Argyle have won the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur star Alfie Devine on loan.
Alfie Devine spent the first half of this season on loan at Port Vale and impressed in EFL League One, where he racked up 21 appearances, scoring two goals and one assist in the league and three goals and three assists in all competitions.
At just 19 years old, the attacking midfielder is considered a man who could offer a lot to Tottenham Hotspur in the future, and the loan signings from North London will give him the important game time he needs to improve.
However, Port Vale recalled him today and it now looks like Devine will be off to Plymouth Argyle until the end of the season.
After impressing at Port Vale, the England centre-forward had a number of options in the EFL Championship to choose from, according to HITC Football, but Argyle and his new boss Ian Foster have provided a turnaround.
Devine is the latest former England youth star to link up with former boss Foster, who has already acquired Ashley Phillips and Darko Gyabi since his arrival at Home Park.
The situation is very similar to that of Steve Cooper when he took over at Swansea City after a period spent with the England youth national team. Marc Guehi, Conor Gallagher and Morgan Gibbs-White have been signed by the Welsh side on Cooper’s recommendation.
Tottenham believe in Devin:
The Championship team are currently 18th in the division and hope the teenage attacking midfielder will continue the good form he has shown for the Vale this campaign.
Devine signed a new contract with Tottenham in September 2022, which means he will stay at the club until 2027, and it is hoped that he can become a first-team player in the future.
Like defender Ashley Phillips, who is also at Argyle, Spurs are confident that Devine could be an important player for the club in the future.
