Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering whether to loan out Japhet Tanganga before the end of the January transfer window.

While the defender is highly regarded by the Premier League side, the 21-year-old has been restricted to five starts and two substitute outings this season.

Each of those appearances have come in cup competitions, with the academy graduate effectively down to fifth place in Jose Mourinho's pecking order.

According to the Daily Mail, West Bromwich Albion have emerged as a potential destination for the England Under-20s international.

Spurs allegedly feel that Tanganga could benefit from regular first-team football at The Hawthorns over the next three-and-a-half months.

A team in Scotland are also said to be contemplating an approach for the prospect.
