It has been a busy week for Tottenham Hotspur's large group of loan players as they approach the business end of their seasons.
Spurs have currently got 11 players spread out on loan at clubs across England, France, Italy and Spain until the end of the campaign and all of them have had varying degrees of success and game time away from the north London outfit this season.
football.london has taken a look at exactly how all of those Tottenham players got on over the course of the past seven days.

Djed Spence and Joe Rodon (Rennes)
The return of Rennes captain Hamari Traore from injury has brought an end to Djed Spence's run of nine consecutive starts for Rennes.
Last week, Spence arriving back at the club from international duty just the day before the match against Lens meant the call was made to give England U21 starlet just seven minutes of action at the end of the 1-0 defeat on Saturday.
However, that was not a one off as Traore retained his place this Sunday in the 3-1 defeat at Lyon, and it seems that Spence, who starred in his last start in the win at PSG before the international break, could be set for some bench time in the remainder of the season.
Joe Rodon was left out of the squad entirely after having been an unused substitute for Rennes for the previous six Ligue 1 games in a row, with boss Bruno Genesio prefering to put 18-year-old academy youngster Jeanuel Belocian on the bench instead at the weekend.
A couple of the comments under Genesio's post-match press conference on the club's website seem to suggest Rennes fans are calling for the battling Welshman to return to a team that was flying high before he dropped out of the side.
Giovani Lo Celso (Villarreal)
Lo Celso received plenty of praise for his part in Villarreal's impressive 3-2 win at Real Madrid on Saturday. It was his first start in La Liga since October, having got fit again after the injury that stopped him participating in Argentina's successful World Cup campaign.
The midfielder, who celebrated his 27th birthday on Sunday, helped his side equalise before the break with a crisp, swift pass through to Samu Chukwuese to drill an effort home. The striker also scored a stunning winner with 10 minutes to go.
Former Spurs man Juan Foyth also played his part in preventing Real from scoring a third goal as Villarreal came away with a victory that sent Madrid's distant title hopes even further over the horizon.
Lo Celso played 67 minutes before coming off in the match and will be hoping to start again as Villarreal welcome Valladolid on Saturday.
Bryan Gil (Sevilla)
Bryan Gil will be returning to England this week as Sevilla travel to Manchester United for the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.
The 22-year-old got another start under his belt on Friday, playing 78 minutes as Sevilla conceded two late goals after his exit from the pitch to draw 2-2 at home to Celta Vigo.
Gill will now be hoping to start once again as Sevilla take on European action at Old Trafford.
The young Spaniard, who earned a call-up back into the senior Spain squad last month, has played 12 times for Sevilla since joining in January and has registered one goal and two assists.
Sergio Reguilon (Atletico Madrid)
Reguilon was finally back on the bench for Atletico following a thigh issue suffered in training. The left-back was initially ruled out for a month with the injury in late February but ended up missing double that amount of time.
He was an unused substitute as Atletico won 2-1 at Royal Vallecano and the Spaniard has not started a single La Liga match this season, having had injury problems and a stomach issue at one point that saw him hospitalised.
Reguilon has played just 84 minutes in the competition this season across four matches.
Tanguy Ndombele (Napoli)
Tanguy Ndombele continues to play his part, albeit from the bench, in Napoli's charge to the Serie A title as he came on for 24 minutes of the 2-1 victory at Lecce.
The Frenchman is trusted by Luciano Spalletti to see out matches for the side and he duly came off the bench and provided one tackle and blocked one shot to ensure the visitors held their lead.
Napoli remain 16 points clear of second-placed Lazio in the Serie A table and this Wednesday they travel to AC Milan for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Milan beat the league leaders 4-0 in Serie A at home last weekend so Napoli will be looking for revenge on the biggest of stages.
Ndombele has not started a game in the league since November but he has now racked up more than 1,057 minutes of football for the Italian side this season and will be hoping to play his part in the Champions League.
Destiny Udogie (Udinese)
Destiny Udogie is a regular starter for Udinese and he got another 90 minutes to his name in the 2-2 draw with Monza at home on Saturday.
The 20-year-old was named Udinese's player of the month for February and has made 26 appearances this season for the Serie A side, scoring three goals and laying on three assists.
Udogie is developing quickly and will be hoping to make a big splash when he arrives at Spurs this summer.
Harry Winks (Sampdoria)
Harry Winks made his 11th consecutive 90-minute appearance but could not prevent Sampdoria from falling to a 3-2 defeat at home to Cremonese.
The 27-year-old midfielder has now fully recovered from his ankle operation and is trying his very best to save financially-stricken Sampdoria from the drop but that's becoming a tougher and tougher ask with each passing week.
They now sit bottom of the Serie A table and are 11 points from safety with nine matches to go.
Troy Parrott (Preston North End)
Troy Parrott started both of Preston's Championship matches over the Easter period. On Monday the Republic of Ireland international played 89 minutes as Preston scored a late winner to win 2-1 at home against Reading.
On Friday, Parrott got 80 minutes to his name as his loan club secured a 2-0 victory at QPR and it was his defensive work that earned praise.
The 21-year-old was handed a six in the Lancashire Live player ratings with the review: "Ran himself into the ground, always on the move across the front line. Carried the fight to QPR's defenders and tracked back brilliantly towards the end, to stop a QPR break from resulting in a goal. Saw two good chances go begging first half."
Former Spurs midfielder Josh Onomah impressed from the bench and is adding more and more fitness to his game after a spell out.
Parrott has got plenty of minutes this season around the knee injury he suffered before the World Cup break but the young striker will want to increase his goal output with just two goals from 26 Championship matches.
Dane Scarlett (Portsmouth)
Dane Scarlett got a rare start under Portsmouth manager John Mousinho on Monday, playing on the left of the front three as they drew 0-0 at home against Morecambe. The 19-year-old got 61 minutes to his name before being taken off. The teenager was an unused substitute in Portsmouth's 1-1 draw at MK Dons on Friday in League One.
Mousinho has recently been calling for Scarlett to change position.
"Dane definitely has a future playing off one of the wings. He has probably been one of the victims of the shape change since I've come in and played one up top, with Colby taking to that position and being brilliant," told The News.
"As a number nine, Dane has clearly had limited opportunities and, when he has played in our side, it has been off the left and he’s affected games. He scored that all-important goal against Burton, while came on against Bolton and made a real difference, playing just behind Colby.
"Certainly if he wants to play for Spurs in the next year or so then it might be time to think about something other than playing as a number nine. That’s what Dane’s ambition should be, he should want to play for Spurs. I’ve actually watched him in Spurs’ new stadium for a Europa League game and modern centre-forwards need that flexibility.
"One which springs to mind is Marcus Rashford, who was a centre-forward coming through the ranks and has now reinvented himself as that wide player cutting in – and still with the ability to score. That’s not a like-for-like comparison, they are completely different players, but maybe that’s something for Dane to think about. I know he wants to play as that number nine, but that flexibility fitting into different formations and different sides is going to be really important for him."
Scarlett has scored six goals and registered two assists in 39 games this season.
Harvey White (Derby)
Harvey White was an unused substitute as Derby won 2-0 at Forest Green Rovers on Friday but he then got 18 minutes from the bench in the 1-1 draw at home against MK Dons on Monday.
The 21-year-old midfielder has made 11 appearances for the League One side since arriving in the January transfer window.
