Burnley and Southampton interested in loaning Japhet Tanganga

Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Japhet Tanganga prefers to stay in the Premier League next term with interest from Burnley and Southampton, Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas reports.

The 22-year-old has been fancied to leave the north London giants on loan this summer, and he has already received a proposal from Turkish giants Galatasaray.

Both Spurs and the player are undecided over the approach. Tanganga believes he could play a part next season with the recent departure of Toby Alderweireld.

If he does leave this summer, he would prefer to stay in the English top-flight with Burnley and Southampton expressing an interest in loaning him.
