Tottenham insider John Wenham believes the club will not offer Manchester City right-back Kwaku Oduroh a deal after his trial in north London, Football Insider report.
The Lowdown: Spurs trial
Spurs took Oduroh on trial towards the end of February, with the 19-year-old starting for the Under-23s against Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Ghanian, a right-back who can also play in a holding midfield role, has been on the books at City from Under-9 level and captained their Under-18 side last season.
His trial at N17 now appears to have come to an end, with the teenager recently turning out for Manchester City Under-23s against Liverpool.
The Latest: Wenham’s update
Spurs insider Wenham was quizzed on Oduroh by FI following his visit to Hotspur Way. He doesn’t think the club will offer the defender a long-term deal and feels he isn’t better than what Spurs currently have.
“I’ll be totally honest, I watched him in our game against Blackburn Under 23s and he didn’t look any better than what we already had.
“He came on trial, I understand his Man City contract does expire this summer.
“But based on what I saw from that game, I don’t think Tottenham are going to pursue this any further.
“To me, he didn’t look like an improvement on what we already had.
“They can’t actually offer him a contract until 1 July anyway, if his contract expired on 30 June.
“It’s not one I can see happening to be honest.”
The Verdict: Only time will tell…
Oduroh could have made a cut-price move to north London in the summer with his City contact expiring over the coming months, however, that doesn’t look likely.
Only time will tell if snubbing a move for the versatile full-back will be a good decision, but Spurs are well-stocked at right-back in their Under-23 squad.
Marcel Lavinier, Dermi Lusala and Kallum Cesay are all right-backs by trade coming through in north London, so perhaps that contributed to Spurs’ decision on Oduroh.
