‘Big mistake, he’s incredible’ – Many angry Tottenham fans react to club announcement
Tottenham have confirmed the permanent departure of young striker Dilan Markanday.
Despite being one of the hottest prospects in the academy, Spurs have allowed the 20-year-old, who had just six months left on his contract, to join Championship side Blackburn on a permanent basis. Markanday has signed a three-and-a-half year deal at Ewood Park.
Markanday made his first-team debut for Tottenham in a Europa Conference League game against Vitesse in October, and has scored 12 goals in 14 Premier League 2 appearances, but hasn’t been given a chance by Antonio Conte.
Therefore, several Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to express their anger towards his sale.

Should be a lesson for the future.
Rather than keeping players like Bergjwin in the side to keep their sale values up.
Play the up and coming players instead.

Why didn't we give him some chances in the first team? Are we not crying out for creative players? This one stinks and hope there's a buy-back clause in place.

And we paid good money for Jack Clarke, club is a shambles

Ridiculous bit of business. All the best to him. Hope he lights it up

You’re gonna regret this day severely! Seriously worrying times for this club and something needs to change before we lose it permanently #Levyout #ENICOut #BackConte #ProfitOverGlory

Really disappointing. Brightest spark of our multi million pound youth set-up sold for a pittance due to a lack of first team opportunities in a weak team.
A real shame. Good luck, Dilan! #COYS #THFC
