According to Football Insider, Tottenham’s rising star Dante Cassanova has been told he will not be moving to a new club.
The 17-year-old midfielder had hoped to secure a professional contract with the London giants when his two-year stock market contract expires this summer.
But a Spurs told Football Insider that Cassanova had been informed he would be released at the end of his existing contract on June 30.
The second-year academy partner is now at a new club.
Cassanova, a defensive midfielder who can play as a right-back, has been tried at relegated league club Derby County.
He first made the impression of the Rams on January 22 in a game under 18 against Leeds United.

Since then, the defender has returned to Spurs and made 4 more appearances in the Premier League 2, bringing his total number of outings for this season to 13.
Speaking to Football Insider in January, Spurs expert John Wenham said he was not surprised to see the young man on trial after being usurped by young players on Hotspur Way.
According to Wenham, 15-year-old Samuel Amo-Ameyaw is now ahead of him in the reporting order, as Cassanova was basically used as a right-back in his time at Tottenham.
According to Tottenham’s official website, Cassanova made his under-18 debut in January 2020, when he was still a schoolboy.
He has 3 assists in 16 starts overall for the Spurs youth this season.
