Tottenham Hotspur and Northern Ireland ace set for loan move to Championship club
The 20 year-old Tottenham Hotspur forward is hot property following an impressive loan stint in League One with Leyton Orient last term, where he scored eight goals and provided 10 assists as the Os made the Play-Off Final. Although several Championship side are keen on his signature, Stoke not looks like his most likely destination for another loan spell, with Spurs reluctant to sell their talented youth product. The Antrim-born footballer switched allegiances from England to Northern Ireland earlier this year, after winning caps at Under 17 and Under 19 level for the Three Lions. He made his senior debut for Michael O'Neill men against Switzerland in March and has since won two more caps.

Donley added to NI squad but Toal ruled out
Jamie Donley's expected addition to the Northern Ireland squad for the friendlies against Switzerland and Sweden has been confirmed but defender Eoin Toal will miss the games because of injury and has been replaced by Kofi Balmer.

However, the Antrim-born player has now been handed a first Northern Ireland senior call-up for Friday's home game against the Swiss and Tuesday's match in Ireland manager Michael O'Neill said he was "pleased to welcome Jamie into the squad"."He is a young player that we have been tracking for some time," said O'Neill."We are waiting on the relevant paperwork from Fifa to be processed before we can determine whether he plays an active role in any of the games, but having him in and around the place to familiarise himself with the place and stuff I felt was important."O'Neill added that he was "disappointed for" Bolton's Toal but said he was confident that Motherwell's Balmer "can come in and make an impact".
