Tottenham midfielder George Abbott says he is excited to get another shot at League One with Mansfield Town after his stay with Wycombe Wanderers was cut short by injury earlier in the season. Abbott, 20, returns to Nottinghamshire for a spell with the Stags following a successful period in League Two with Notts County in 2025, during which he scored the English Football League goal of the season. "When Mansfield came in for me, I thought it was a no-brainer." Abbott has fond memories of his time with Stags' near neighbours Notts, marking his time there as "a good introduction to men's football" after coming through the youth-team ranks at Tottenham. "Now coming to Mansfield in League One, and Wycombe earlier this season, I just keep stepping up and building up till hopefully I can play higher up, it's a really good stepping stone," said Abbott.
