Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now revealed that Preston have the option to sign the Spurs midfielder permanently in the summer.

However, doing so may not be easy, as Devine’s performances have caught the attention of several English clubs.

Clubs from both the top and second tiers of English football have expressed an interest in Devine, both in a temporary deal as well as a permanent transfer.

It was reported in the summer that Tottenham were open to listening to £6m bids for Devine.

The youngster appears to have come of age at Deepdale, which would have been picked up by the decision makers at Hotspur Way.
