Tottenham transfers: James Wilson has made bad decision – McInnes

Heart of Midlothian manager Derek McInnes believes James Wilson has made a mistake by joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan in a deal that could be made permanent at the end of the season.

Arsenal were in talks with the Scottish Premiership leaders over a move for the 18-year-old but the Scotland striker joined Spurs instead.

Wilson, who became the youngest man to represent Scotland when he came on in their Nations League play-off tie against Greece in March, will play for Spurs’ Under-21s side.

He has scored eight goals in 45 appearances since making his Hearts breakthrough last season but he has struggled for game time this term.

“James wanted to go, so you don’t want to keep a player who then becomes unhappy,” said McInnes.

“I couldn’t guarantee him minutes, such is the way it’s been. I told him and his agent that our preference was to stay, fight for your place, be part of something.

“We’d get him a loan in Scotland if need be, to top his minutes up and we can maybe recall him – still get the best of both worlds.
