Spurs to loan Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall-linked Matthew Craig

Tottenham Hotspur are ‘expected’ to take Matthew Craig on loan this summer amid links with Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall, as detailed in a report from Football London.

Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall are both interested in a potential temporary swoop for the Premier League midfielder, according to a report from Football Insider. The pair are both preparing for the start of the new championship season.

Craig, 21, spent the second half of last campaign on loan at Doncaster Rovers to get some experience under his belt. He linked up with the League Two side in January and went on to make 20 appearances in all competitions to help Grant McCann’s side into the play-offs.

However, the Yorkshire outfit were beaten in the semi-finals by Crewe Alexandra and have since returned to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, in this latest update on his future from Football London, he is likely to leave Spurs again this window for another spell elsewhere.

Who is this?

Kieran McKenna

Russell Martin

Danny Rohl

Neil Harris

THE QUIZ STARTS!

Spurs signed Craig in 2015 from Watford.

The youngster, who is a Scotland youth international, has risen through their ranks and represented the London outfit at various levels in recent years.

Craig received his first professional contract in 2021 and his contract was extended last summer until 2026.

The Barnet-born man made his senior debut last May in a league game against Leeds United and this is his first and only appearance for Spurs to date.

His move to Doncaster Rovers last winter was the first time he had been out on loan in his career.

Spurs now have a big decision to make on where to send him next as they weigh up what will be best for his development.

Where further?

Sheffield Wednesday have been busy on the transfer front of late as they prepare for Danny Rohl’s first full campaign at the helm.

It remains to be seen at this stage whether they will make a move for Craig, but he is certainly an option for the Owls as they eye more additions.

As for Millwall, they stayed last term under Neil Harris.

Craig would give the Lions more competition and depth in the middle of the park if they took him. They are being patient with their recruiting right now as they wait for the right players.
