Barnet sign Ajayi on loan from Spurs

Damola Ajayi has joined Barnet on loan from Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day. The 20-year-old striker has been with Tottenham's academy since 2022, joining from Bromley as a teenager. Ajayi made his first-team debut for Spurs in January 2025, scoring in a 3-0 victory over Elfsborg in the Europa League. He then spent the first half of last season on loan at Doncaster Rovers, scoring twice in 19 appearances before returning to Bromley.

Barnet manager Dean Brennan praised Ajayi, describing him as an "exciting young player" who brings pace, energy, and versatility to the team. The Bees aim to develop Ajayi further, believing he has a bright future ahead. This marks the 13th signing of Barnet for the summer transfer window.
