Hide Ad‘Multiple’ EFL sides are said to be interested in a loan swoop until the end of the season, the report adds.
It’s also said that Spurs are yet to make up their minds whether to loan out White as he’s currently on the fringes of Conte’s first-team plans.
He has made the bench under the Italian on a number of occasions this season, including for five of Spurs’ six Champions League group games.

White is predominantly known to be a defensive midfielder, but can also play further forward as well as left-back.
Prior to his departure, Michael Appleton revealed the position of centre-back was Blackpool’s current priority in the transfer window.

The Seasiders already have six loanees on their books in Rhys Williams, Charlie Patino, Lewis Fiorini, Josh Bowler, Morgan Rogers and Ian Poveda.
Clubs in the EFL are allowed to sign as many loan players as they wish, but only five can be named in a match-day squad.
