Tottenham is set to be active on deadline day with Antonio Conte still keen to alter his squad before the transfer window slams shut at 11 pm. Spurs are expected to conduct business in both directions, with players leaving to make room for new faces.
Tottenham have already been busy in January, with Conte keen to bring in new players to help the club recover from an alarming slump in form that has seen them win just four of their last 11 Premier League games.
While much has been going on behind the scenes, Arnaut Danjuma is the only player to join this month after the club hijacked his loan move to Everton at the 11th hour. The Dutch international will now reside in north London until the end of the season and has hit the ground running with a goal on his debut in the FA Cup against Preston.
There have not been much in the way of departures either, with Bryan Gil the only player to leave so far. The Spaniard had found himself in the starting line-up more often in recent weeks but the arrival of Danjuma and Dejan Kulusevski’s return to fitness means he has been allowed to rejoin former club Sevilla on loan until the end of the campaign.
Porro’s arrival is set to push Djed Spence even further down the club’s pecking order and the England U-21 international is likely to leave north London on loan before the window slams shut. The player is widely reported to have chosen Rennes as his destination despite interest from a host of Premier League clubs.
Tottenham is also expected to look to the future and is likely to complete a deal for 19-year-old Chelsea striker Jude Soonsup-Bell. The club has reportedly already agreed on a fee for his services according to the Evening Standard and he will initially join the Lilywhites academy side.
Tottenham will be a club to closer monitor on deadline day as Conte seeks to make the final alterations to his squad ahead of the second half of the season.
