Tottenham Hotspur could strike deals on transfer deadline day.
Tottenham Hotspur have yet to make any new signings during the January transfer window, but with deadline day upon us, they could be tempted into deals.
Mauricio Pochettino tends to sit back in January rather than strike deals, but here are some of the main names to keep an eye on during the final day of the January transfer window.
Lucas Moura
If any player is to sign for Spurs on deadline day, it’s most likely going to be Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura, who has passed a medical ahead of a £25million move to Spurs, according to the Daily Star.
The Brazilian speedster, 25, has yet to start a league or Champions League game for PSG this season, but with 18 goals last term, he could be a smart addition for Tottenham, especially in such an inflated market.
Fernando Llorente
Tottenham only signed striker Llorente from Swansea City back on the last deadline day, but after a disappointing spell with Pochettino’s men, the Spaniard could be on the move quickly.
The Independent report that Chelsea – managed by Llorente’s former Juventus boss Antonio Conte – are interested in landing the 32-year-old target man, and claim that Spurs will sell for £25million, meaning his future could be a focus of deadline day.
Michy Batshuayi
As part of the Llorente situation, BBC Sport claim that Chelsea striker Batshuayi actually rejected a move to Spurs, after they were interested in a swap deal, either on loan or permanently.
Given that Batshuayi’s rejection came as a result of concerns over a lack of playing time behind Harry Kane, a deal being resurrected seems unlikely – but nothing can be ruled out on transfer deadline day.
Shayon Harrison
Whilst Llorente may end up staying at Spurs, one Tottenham striker set for a move on deadline day is youngster Shayon Harrison, with the Essex Echo claiming that a loan deal with Southend United has been struck.
New Southend boss Chris Powell recently worked for Spurs as a scout, and is set to earn a favour from his former club with the signing of 20-year-old Harrison, who is seeking playing time in the second half of the season.
