Summary
- Young striker Mason Melia is not expected to be loaned out.
- Melia joined Spurs from St Patrick's Athletic for €2m.
- The teenager is recovering from a minor back injury.

Tottenham Hotspur is keeping highly-rated young striker Mason Melia close, with the expectation that he will be integrated into the senior team setup for the remainder of the season, rather than being sent out on loan. This approach signifies a different developmental path for the promising teenager.
Melia, who arrived at Spurs last month from Irish club St Patrick's Athletic for an initial €2 million fee, is currently recovering from a minor back injury. Despite this setback, the club intends for him to gain experience around the first team.
The club secured Melia's signature, beating out competition from several top European clubs. He previously made a significant impact in Ireland, featuring in 98 games and scoring 25 goals with eight assists, and is part of the Ireland U21 squad.
