Josh Onomah Leaves Tottenham for Championship Loan Ahead of European Transfer Deadline

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Josh Onomah has joined Championship side Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan, the club confirmed on Friday.

The 21-year-old spent last term with second-tier side Aston Villa before returning to north London following the Villans' failed attempt to reach the Premier League through the playoffs.

With Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino's drive for youth in his squad, the 21-year-old would have been hopeful of potentially securing minutes under the Argentine's watch during the coming season following his spell away.

However, with the likes of Harry Winks sitting ahead of Onomah in the Tottenham manager's pecking order, and Mousa Dembele remaining at the club despite a summer of speculation, there seems little chance of the Englishman breaking through.
