Tottenham Hotspur have once again built a small army of loan players out plying their trade across England and the continent.

Unlike last season, Spurs' loan players have mostly remained in England other than one academy product making his way to Germany and the Bundesliga - no, not that academy product - and another in the Netherlands, while there could soon be another loan player in Turkey if Tanguy Ndombele's move to Galatasaray goes through this week.

For the first time this season it's time for football.london to take a look at how Tottenham's seven loan players got on this week away from Ange Postecoglou's nest.

Alfie Devine

We would not normally start further down the leagues but Alfie Devine's huge impact on Saturday so early on in his loan at Port Vale demands your attention instantly.

The midfielder, who turned 19 last month, came off the bench with 22 minutes to go of his new team's League One match at Oxford United.

First Devine whipped in a terrific free-kick which was headed home by Alex Iacovitti to put Vale ahead in the 70th minute only for their 10-man hosts to find an equaliser in added time through Greg Leigh's close range effort.

Devine was in fine form, going on a couple of mazy runs, but with the game looking set for a draw, Leigh also received a second yellow card and was sent off before Vale were given a last-gasp 99th minute penalty when Ben Garrity was brought down in the box.

Up stepped the teenage Devine to grab the ball and coolly send the goalkeeper the wrong way from the spot with nerves of steel in front of the noisy Oxford crowd to spark wild celebrations with his team-mates.

"Every one of our penalty takers had come off the pitch. I’m looking at the pitch and thinking 'make a decision quick' to give the lads direction and fair play to Alfie," said Vale boss Andy Crosby after the game to StokeonTrentLive. "I don’t watch them but to take that penalty in that pressurised situation says a lot about him and epitomises everything about our group."

Joe Rodon

Joe Rodon has quickly become a mainstay in the Leeds defence already after his loan move earlier this month. The 25-year-old Wales international centre-back has started the past three matches in the Championship and played every minute of them for Daniel Farke's side.

He helped United keep a clean sheet in their 0-0 draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

The Welshman will only get better as he continues to settle. He received a six in Leeds Live's player ratings with the review: "Still feels like he is playing his way into some rhythm after such a minimal pre-season. First touch and judgement seem rusty."

Djed Spence

Rodon now has a fellow Spurs team-mate with him in Yorkshire at the Championship side after Djed Spence decided to also make the move. It is the second time the duo have linked up after Spence joined the Welshman at Rennes last season.

The 23-year-old has now made his debut for Leeds, coming off the bench for the final nine minutes in that draw against Sheffield Wednesday, replacing captain Luke Ayling to play alongside Rodon.

While he came on too late to get a rating from Leeds Live he did impress and get a positive review, stating: "Too late for a mark, but a very good first impression at right-back in the little time he had. Looked rapid and strong on the ball."

Sergio Reguilon

Sergio Reguilon has made the move to Manchester United on a season-long loan from Tottenham which can revisited by all parties in January.

The Spaniard was an unused substitute on the bench as Erik ten Hag's men lost 3-1 at Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Japhet Tanganga

Japhet Tanganga has switched to Bundesliga side Augsburg on loan with an option for the German outfit to buy him, which becomes an obligation if certain conditions are met.

The 24-year-old Spurs academy product arrived too late to take part in the 2-2 draw at home to Bochum on Saturday. Tanganga's new side have conceded nine goals in their first three Bundesliga matches so will be hoping he can help shore up their backline.

“I’m really excited about the chance to play for FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga has a really good reputation in England right now and more and more players from the Premier League are choosing to come here. I now want to help FCA achieve their goals and prove myself in a new league,” said Tanganga.

FCA sporting director Marinko Jurendic said: "Japhet is a very well-rounded and variable defender, who is defined by his physicality and ability to win tackles. We have been able to add a player to our team with experience playing at a top level and who wants to continue his development at FCA. The qualities he brings to the table will help give us different options in defence."

Dane Scarlett

Dane Scarlett had to watch on as an unused substitute on Saturday for his first matchday at Ipswich as they won 3-2 at home against Cardiff in the Championship.

Both his new manager Kieran McKenna and Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou are expecting big things from the 19-year-old as he develops.

"Yeah definitely [there's a hope he will be competing for a first team spot next season], that's why we sent him out," said Postecoglou. "Dane was really good with us during pre-season and there was a lot of interest in him right from the beginning as soon as I got here. The reason I kept him with us for so long is because I was really encouraged with the way he was training and the way he was developing, but there always comes a point with young players where you need to decide.

"I always felt after a certain time that the best kind of development for young players is to play and you have to make a decision is he going to play enough for us now to help him continue to develop and become a first-team player for this football club or would it be better off going somewhere?

"And let's face it, Ipswich are a good side, they play good football, they've started the season well and he'll have to fight for his position there. It is not like anything will be given. We know the Championship is a tough league so, if he can go there, play a significant number of games and perform well, for us that is exactly what we want from these loan periods, so come pre-season next year he is advanced where he then becomes somebody who is competing for a first-team squad [spot]."

Troy Parrott

Troy Parrott also had to watch on from the bench as an unused sub as Excelsior Rotterdam lost 3-1 at Heracles Almelo on Saturday. The 21-year-old previously got four minutes off the bench the previous week in the 2-2 draw at home against Fortuna Sittard.

Excelsior's technical manager Niels van Duinen: "We have been looking for an attack leader from the start of this transfer window and knew we had to be patient. We had had Troy on our radar for some time and did everything we could to bring him to Excelsior.

"Despite interest from other clubs in the Netherlands and Europe, we have reached an agreement with him and Tottenham Hotspur through our history. With his arrival we are strengthening our ambitions. Troy is a player who brings a lot of energy, wants to play football, but also wants to be in the box to score a goal. We expect him to quickly adapt to his new environment and our way of playing."

Parrott added: "I deliberately chose Excelsior and that's why I'm especially happy to be here now. I had conversations here with the trainer Marinus Dijkhuizen and technical manager Niels van Duinen. The story they told appealed to me.

"The way Excelsior plays football and the club's ambitions suit me. I have also gathered information from others and I think football in the Netherlands is more technical than in the English championship. I think that way of playing football suits me and that is why I think Excelsior is the right choice for me now."
