Will Lankshear scored once in six first-team games for Spurs.
Middlesbrough have confirmed the signing of Tottenham striker Will Lankshear on a five-year contract in a deal that could rise to a club-record £20m.
The initial fee is understood to be worth around £10m, with an additional £10m due in add-ons based on various incentives.
The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Oxford United, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists in 44 Championship games.
"I feel like now is the best time in my career and I'm ready to hit the ground running and help this club," Lankshear told the club website, external.
"Middlesbrough is such a massive club over the years. I deem it to be a Premier League club.
"The project here really excites me. I can't wait to get started and be part of the journey, and get this club back where it belongs."
Lankshear played a starring role in Spurs' youth team, having joined from Sheffield United in 2022.
The England youth international scored 23 goals for the Under-21 side that won the 2023-24 Premier League 2 title, and he was named the competition's player of the season.
Lankshear made his senior debut in October 2024 against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. The striker scored his first senior goal and was later sent off in his next appearance in the competition away at Galatasaray.
He is Middlesbrough's fourth signing of the summer after they secured Myles Peart-Harris from Oxford on a free transfer, plus Jeremy Sarmiento from Brighton and Kyle Joseph from Hull City.
It follows the exit of midfielder Hayden Hackney to Everton for around £16m. Boro are also due a sizeable sell-on fee after Chelsea completed the £117m signing of their former attacker Morgan Rogers.
