It's time to take a look at the latest news surrounding Tottenham's large group of loan players who have been in action around the world
Tottenham Hotspur might not have been in action this week but their big army of loan players have been busy across the globe.
The north London side currently have 18 players out on loan and developing across the Football League as well as across Scotland, Germany, Italy and South America with Spurs' Head of Loans and Pathways Andy Scoulding keeping a close eye on all of them and checking in on their various performances.
With Roberto De Zerbi now in charge at Tottenham, many of the players out on loan will be looking to push themselves into the mix to get an opportunity under the new Italian head coach while others are simply looking to develop or put themselves in the shop or loan window for the summer.
Here's how every single one of Tottenham's big loan army got on across the world this week.
Alejo Veliz (Rosario Central)
Alejo Veliz rediscovered his goalscoring touch with a double for Rosario Central to ensure they beat Atletico Tucuman on Sunday in the league.
The 22-year-old had been struggling for goals in Argentina, unable to hit the net in his past nine league matches but he roared back with his two strikes this weekend.
Veliz had won an early penalty with a good bit of anticipation, only to see his spot kick saved by the sprawling goalkeeper. However, he made up for that missed opportunity 31 minutes in with a powerful towering header to put the hosts into the lead.
The visitors grabbed an equaliser seven minutes later but Veliz was not to be outdone and in the 75th minute, the big striker got in front of his man to beat the offside trap and divert a cross home with his right foot.
Veliz is expected to head to Bahia at the end of the season after Tottenham agreed a deal with the Brazilian side to sell Veliz once his current loan at Rosario ends. A £7.8m (9m euros) deal was agreed with £871k in add-ons (1m euros) plus a 20% sell-on clause.
Mikey Moore (Rangers)
Mikey Moore got another 90 minutes under his belt as second-placed Rangers continue to keep things tight at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Rangers won 4-2 at Ibrox against Dundee United on Saturday and got a 7.8 from Glasgow World's player ratings with the review: "The Tottenham loanee aimed to keep up impressive form out wide and did so with high marks."
The 18-year-old also opened up on exactly what happened during those months out with a virus at Tottenham last season.
"I was playing really well and started to find my feet in the first team just before the Galatasaray game. I trained two days before it and I was set to start or make an appearance in that game. I went for a driving lesson at the time that night and all of a sudden I felt a bit of pain in my chest," he said in a short Spurs documentary on his loan at Rangers.
"The doctor called me in and said to forget about football for now. It came back that I had myocarditis, which is a virus that went to the heart and gave me the pains in my heart. I was lucky that I caught it early because I am not sure what could have happened after that and whether it could have caused extra things. But from what I know, it is not something that can really reoccur. I think I was in bed for six weeks and wasn't allowed to do any exercise.
"There were a lot of rumours at that time and it was tough to deal with. Those six weeks were not six weeks of improving in a gym like you would normally do if you were injured. Right now, I feel at my best and feel like how I felt when I first started playing at Tottenham. That is all done now and put behind me. That's it really."

Luka Vuskovic (Hamburg)
Luka Vuskovic was highly rated as Hamburg drew 1-1 at home with Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The 19-year-old centre-back got Whoscored's top mark for the hosts of 7.25 in their stat-based player ratings with a 90-minute defensive display that included nine clearances, two tackles, two interceptions and one block. He also hit the woodwork with an effort at the other end of the pitch.
The Croatian has made 27 appearances and played 2,460 minutes so far for the Bundesliga outfit and has attracted links from big clubs aplenty, including Bayern Munich. However, with a contract until 2030 at Tottenham he is likely to become a regular starter for Spurs next season if they remain in the Premier League.
Will Lankshear & Jamie Donley (Oxford United)
Will Lankshear was almost the hero of the day for Oxford with brilliant diving header in the 81st minute to put them 2-1 up against Portsmouth in a huge relegation six-pointer on Monday in the Championship.
However, Andre Dozzell, son of former Spurs midfielder Jason Dozzell, levelled for 10-man Pompey with three minutes to go of normal time. Another former Tottenham man, Conor Ogilvie had been sent off in the first half.
Jamie Donley played his first 90 minutes of the season in the Championship, just two days after getting 77 minutes in Oxford's 1-1 draw at home against promotion-chasing Hull City on Friday. He picked out Lankshear in the second half of that game for the striker to be felled in the Hull box with Cameron Brannagan able to equalise from the spot.
Alfie Devine (Preston North End)
Alfie Devine had a creative Easter as he provided assists in both of his matches. First Preston drew 2-2 at struggling Leicester on Good Friday with the Spurs man setting up Ben Whiteman for the visitors' second goal.
Then on Monday, the 21-year-old midfielder looked to have helped North End to victory against QPR after picking out Brad Potts to score early in the second half half but a Thierry Small own goal with eight minutes to go gave the away side a share of the spoils.
Devine has had a great season, making 40 league appearances, with eight goals and four assists from midfield with another two appearances in the Carabao Cup, plus an assist, and a substitute appearance in the FA Cup to make it 2,865 minutes in total so far this season.
Ashley Phillips (Stoke City)
Ashley Phillips had a mixed weekend with a 2-0 victory with Stoke against Sheffield Wednesday at home on Friday before going down by the same scoreline at Derby on Monday afternoon.
The 20-year-old centre-back got a seven in Stoke-on-Trent Live's player ratings on Friday with the write-up: "Had to keep an eye on isolated Yates for most of the game before a spell of pressure through the closing stages."
Then on Monday he got one of the better marks of six with the review: "Willing to make a tackle and defend his line. A hard day. "
Phillips has made 40 appearances this season for Stoke with 3,344 minutes to his name.
Dane Scarlett (Hibernian)
Dane Scarlett is yet to notch his first goal for Hibernian but he is getting minutes for the Scottish Premiership side. The 21-year-old striker played 64 minutes of the 3-0 win at home against Kilmarnock on Saturday.
Scarlett has made nine appearances now up north of the border with one assist and 418 minutes to his name.
Kota Takai (Borussia Monchengladbach)
Kota Takai's injury woes have not subsided since joining Borussia Monchengladbach. The 21-year-old Japan international has made just six appearances after months out when he first joined Spurs and now he has a muscle strain which has kept him out of the past month or so of action at the Bundesliga club and he missed Saturday's draw with Heidenheim.
The centre-back's loan club had been keen to extend his stay in Germany, according to the local media last month, but whether his injury issues change that remains to be seen.
Manor Solomon (Fiorentina)
Manor Solomon has also been out injured and has missed the past month with a grade 1-2 hip flexor strain in his right thigh so has been unable to play a part in Fiorentina's climb up the table.
The Israel international had become a regular starter with two goals in his 11 matches for the Italian side as a regular fixture on either wing. However, the 26-year-old winger suffered the injury in the Conference League win against Jagiellonia and is yet to return to action.
Yang Min-hyeok (Coventry)
Yang Min-hyeok has not been in a Coventry matchday squad for more than a month, having to watch on for eight Championship matches.
The 19-year-old winger had made 16 appearances for Portsmouth, scoring three goals and laying on one assist, before switching to Frank Lampard's table-toppers. However, it hasn't worked out all for the South Korean with only one start for Coventry so far in his first experience of FA Cup football last month and three Championship appearances totalling 29 minutes of football.
Speaking to Coventry Live last month, Lampard said of Yang: "We’re competing to try and do well this season. I have to make decisions with what I see. And that’s not to disrespect Mini. If I feel like it’s Mini’s time to come in, he’ll come in, absolutely. That goes with all the players.
"I don’t have a preference of loan or players that are ours, as such, because at the minute we want to win. I can’t add those kind of emotions into it. I have to try to pick the best 11 and the best bench, and at the moment we don’t have any injuries."
Oliver Irow & George Abbott (Mansfield)
Mansfield's unbeaten streak in League One is now eight matches and both George Abbott and Oliver Irow have played their part in that run.
Abbott grabbed his first assist for the club as he got 81 minutes to his name in a 2-0 win at Doncaster on Friday before the 20-year-old midfielder made it three consecutive starts with 90 minutes in a 0-0 home draw with Burton Albion.
Irow came off the bench for the final minute of the game at Doncaster on Friday and then the 19-year-old attacker played an hour of the goalless draw at home against Burton on Monday.
Yusuf Akhamrich (Bristol Rovers)
Yusuf Akhamrich got two Easter games under his belt for Bristol Rovers as they enjoyed double delight in League Two.
First the 20-year-old winger came off the bench for 36 minutes of the 1-0 home win against Fleetwood on Friday and then started and played 72 minutes as Rovers saw off Harrogate Town 3-2 on the road on Monday.
The Bristol Post's Will Murray handed Akhamrich a seven in his player ratings from Friday with the review: "Yusuf Akhamrich dragged Rovers up the pitch on a couple of occasions and looked sharp during his 36-minute cameo. He saw a powerful left-footed shot saved by Jay Lynch in the 82nd minute and will have his eye on a start at Harrogate."
Tyrese Hall (Notts County)
Tyrese Hall had to put aside his disappointment after coming off the bench in Jamaica's World Cup qualifying defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday night.
He came off the bench for Notts County for the final 20 minutes of Friday's League Two 2-1 defeat at Salford before watching on from the bench as his side won 3-1 at home against lowly Newport Country on Monday.
The 20-year-old midfielder has scored eight goals and provided two assists across 1,778 minutes in 35 appearances since heading out of Tottenham on his first loan.
Alfie Dorrington (Salford City)
Alfie Dorrington was on the bench for Salford as they beat Hall's Notts County and then had to do the same on Monday as Salford lost 1-0 at Crewe.
The 20-year-old centre-back has had to make do with a bench role in the past four matches but has managed nine appearances so far for City after switching from Aberdeen during the winter window.
Damola Ajayi (Bromley)
Damola Ajayi got his second start in a Bromley shirt as the League Two leaders drew 2-2 at Barnet on Friday.
The 20-year-old winger has registered 27 appearances across his spells at Bromley and Doncaster Rovers in a season of development across League One and Two.
Aaron Maguire (Hampton & Richmond Borough)
Aaron Maguire played every minute of his first three matches for National League South side Hampton & Richmond Borough but the 21-year-old goalkeeper has not been in their matchday squads since February.
