Tottenham could still secure a deal for Max Meyer if they up their offer of £38 million, according to Kicker.

The report claims that FC Schalke view the 20-year old as a key man for the season ahead – especially after the loss of Leroy Sane – and it would take a huge offer to tempt them to sell.

Rumours emerged yesterday suggesting that Spurs were willing to spend 45 million euros (£38 million) on the German starlet but it now appears they will need to stump up even more cash if a deal is to be done before the close of the window.

The Lilywhites have yet to add to the signings of Victor Wanyama and Vincent Janssen but they are expected to add to the squad by the end of today.

The drawn out deals for Pau Lopez and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou are expected to finally go through today and there have been strong suggestions of arrivals beyond those two.

Moussa Sissoko is one such target, according to L’Equipe, althought it is thought that the clubs remain some distance apart on his valuation.

A deal to take Isco on a season-long loan from Real Madrid has also been mooted in the last few days, but that seems unlikely at this late stage.
