Tottenham midfielder Alfie Devine is set to join Belgian club Westerlo on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old is highly regarded in north London and the move is a straight loan with no option to buy, in order to further his development.

The move is subject to a medical before the Belgian transfer window deadline on Friday night.

Westerlo finished 11th in the Belgian top flight last season and avoided the relegation play-offs.

Meanwhile, Devine was involved in Spurs' pre-season and was an unused substitute against Newcastle last week, but did not make Ange Postecoglou's matchday squads against Leicester City and Everton.

His move follows loan spells at Port Vale and Plymouth last season.
