TOTTENHAM starlet Keanen Bennetts has become the latest Premier League talent to make a switch to the Bundesliga.
The 19-year-old has joined Borussia Monchengladbach to boost his chances of first-team football.
Bennetts has penned a four-year contract with the club until the summer of 2022.
Born in England, the 19-year-old’s mother was originally from Hamburg and he told the club’s official website: “Borussia is one of Germany’s biggest teams.
“I’m really looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere at Borussia-Park.”
Borussia’s sporting director Max Eberl added: “Keanan can play a variety of attacking roles,
“He has played for Spurs in the Premier League 2 and in the UEFA Youth League this season, and we back him to make the step up to the Bundesliga. We’re delighted he has chosen to sign for Borussia.”
Bennetts penned a new contract at Spurs in December and the club will be entitled to a fee for the player, thought to be around £2million.
