Olusesi has made a few Premier League benches this season but has yet to make his debut.
A lot of Tottenham Hotspur academy graduates and young reserve players went out on loan this fall. 18-year-old Spurs midfielder Callum Olusesi was not one of them. He stuck around this fall, training with the first team and even making a few Premier League benches this year under Thomas Frank, though he has yet to make his Premier League debut. He made his club debut last season in the Champions League against Hoffenheim.
But now it seems he could be set for a loan, possibly to a Serie A club. Alfredo Pedulla writes today on his website that Torino is interested in bringing Olusesi to Turin for the second half of the season. Talks between the Serie A club and Spurs have already started, and could result in a loan with a purchase option.
There’s not much to this rumor, but a loan to a mid-table Serie A club would be a pretty good outcome for Olusesi, considered one of the better players to come out of his academy class. Pedulla makes it sound as though Olusesi is one of the options (but not the only option) for a role in Torino’s midfield so this isn’t a done deal yet, but it’s probably time for Callum to head out for first team football somewhere, especially if he’s not going to get it this season at Tottenham. Olusesi has five goals in five PL2 starts so far this season, and had 11 goals in 11 starts in 2024-25.
Tottenham have been active in the loan market so far this January and have been proactive about cancelling unproductive loans and finding new clubs for its fringe and young players, but apart from a rejected £8m bid for Brazilian left back Souza they have yet to make any moves for first team players. Thomas Frank has suggested the team wants to sign a left back, attacker, and, if possible, a central midfielder this month.
