Tony Humes: 'Colchester United signing Kenneth McEvoy on loan'

Colchester United are set to sign Tottenham Hotspur's Kenneth McEvoy on loan until the end of the season, according to the League One club's manager.

The 20-year-old midfielder is yet to make his Spurs debut, but has spent time on loan at Peterborough United this season, playing eight games for the Posh and scoring once.

U's boss Tony Humes told BBC Sport: "Spurs have agreed everything, it's about getting the paperwork through."

McEvoy has been capped for the Republic of Ireland at Under-21 level.
