John Bostock believes that he may have made a mistake by leaving Crystal Palace at such a young age to join Spurs, TPC understands, while Didier Zokora’s spell at White Hart Lane is set to end soon.
TPC sources at the recent UEFA Under-17 European Championships revealed that Bostock is beginning to think that he may have been too hasty in leaving Selhurst Park where he could have become a regular in the first team already after impressing in fleeting appearances in the 2007/08 season.
The 17-year-old made three appearances for us in Europe this season, although Dean Parrett was given a starting place at Shakhtar Donetsk instead of him, and Spurs fans will be hoping Bostock’s Spurs career does not follow the path of Wayne Routledge and fizzle out before it has truly started.
Bostock is likely to ask for a loan move at some point next season to get more first-team experience under his belt although it is unclear whether Spurs will accept this demand. However, with rumours today that QPR want Danny Rose on loan to cover for Lee Cook’s injury, it could be that Spurs offer Bostock the chance to cross London again to gain some playing time, although that is no more than speculation at this time.
One player destined to leave Spurs closer to the present time is Zokora. There has been much talk in the media of a switch to Sevilla being on the cards and it appears as though Spurs representatives out in Spain are looking to tie up the deal and settle the compensation issue over Juande Ramos at the same time.
The £6-8m move could be sealed within the next week while Spurs are also hoping to negotiate moves for at least one Real Madrid player during their trip.
