They've already tried to flog him to the Saudis mate, spent 65m on Solanke - does he wanna sit on the bench all season and do spurs want to see his value plummet for a season he doesn't play much.
Key word, sell. Yes they are happy to sell him and get their money back. But why would they want to loan him out? Could only see this if they can get a quality attacking striker on loan themseleves first.
