Barnet add Tottenham winger Damola Ajayi to League Two squad

England-Nigeria winger Damola Ajayi has joined Barnet from Tottenham Under-21s on loan, giving the League Two club a new attacking option for the 2026-27 season.

The 20-year-old right winger’s move was completed on 1 September and runs until 31 May 2027, when he is scheduled to return to Tottenham’s development side. Ajayi has moved between Premier League 2 and the English fourth tier during the past year, with Barnet becoming his latest temporary destination.

Ajayi spent the second half of the 2025-26 campaign on loan at Bromley after beginning the season with Tottenham Under-21s. He helped Bromley win the English fourth tier title before returning to Spurs at the end of May.

The London-born player came through Tottenham’s youth system and moved into the club’s Under-21 squad in 2024. He was part of the Tottenham group that won the Europa League in the 2024-25 season, while also collecting a U21 Premier League winners’ medal with Tottenham Under-21s in 2023-24.

Ajayi has made one Premier League 2 appearance during the current campaign, playing the full 90 minutes. He now moves into Barnet’s League Two set-up, having already gained experience of the division during his spell with Bromley.

The forward’s arrival maintains his progression through the English league structure while keeping him tied to Tottenham until his loan return date. Ajayi has completed his season-long loan move from Tottenham Under-21s to Barnet.
