Nigerian Goalkeeper Returns To Tottenham Hotspur After Loan Spell

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Nigeria-eligible goalkeeper Joshua Oluwayemi has returned to the parent club after concluding a loan spell at National League side Maidenhead United.

Oluwayemi joined the Magpies last October to get a taste of senior football but the loan was not successful as he found himself playing second fiddle to Fulham-owned goalkeeper Taye Ashby-Hammond.

The former England U16 star made Maidenhead United’s matchday squad for league matches on ten occasions, and made only one appearance as a substitute, replacing an injured Ashby-Hammond at half-time vs Altrincham FC on November 28.

He played his second game since returning to Tottenham Hotspur on Friday evening, helping the north London club register a 2-1 win over West Ham. 

The Anglo-Nigerian made two stoppage time saves for the Spurs to secure their third away win.
