Champions League hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to loan out youngster Tom Carroll to Derby County. The highly rated 19 year old will stay at Pride Park till the end of the current season. England U-19 international Carroll was a regular for Spurs in their Europa League campaign ( featuring against Hearts, POAK Salonika, Shamrock Rovers and Rubin Kazan) and also appeared in domestic Cup ties against Cheltenham and Stoke City. He is however yet to make a Premier League appearance for the Lilywhites.
Carroll could make his Rams debut as early as Tuesday when they travel to Oakwell to take on Barnsley in the Championship.
Derby manager Nigel Clough expressed delight at Carroll’s capture, saying that he gave them an extra option in midfield.
