Tottenham to let Lewis Holtby leave on loan

Tottenham have decided to let young German midfielder Lewis Holtby leave White Hart Lane on loan as Spurs step up their interest in Ajax's midfielder Christian Eriksen.

Holtby enjoyed a run in the first team last season but has so far failed to play this season due to injury concerns and also Andre Villas-Boas' early indications that Holtby will not be a regular in the team this season.


The Germany international has been linked with a return to his homeland. It is understood that several teams are ready to make a move for Holtby, including the likes of Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg, Eintracht Frankfurt and even Holtby's former club Schalke 04.
