Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with moves for Keita Balde and Davinson Sanchez.

Tottenham Hotspur have left their transfer activity late, but there are still a couple of impressive potential deals on their radar.

The Mirror report they are hopeful of a double move for defender Davinson Sanchez of Ajax, and Lazio attacker Keita Balde.

The two moves could set Spurs back around £60 million, but they are two players who could improve the club’s already very strong starting XI.

Sanchez is an outstanding central defender who could solidify the club’s shift towards a back three, while Keita can play both on the wing and in attack.

Here is one way Tottenham could line up with both players in their starting line up…

Perhaps the most startling note about the team above is the quality of player that Tottenham would suddenly be able to leave out.

Not included in the team is Eric Dier, Victor Wanyama, and Heung-Min Son.

And then there are talented back-ups Ben Davies, Harry Winks, Kyle Walker-Peters, Kevin Wimmer and those still with points to prove like Moussa Sissoko, Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.

Even if Ross Barkley were to sign too, he also would struggle to break into the starting line up.

This Tottenham team would be even tougher to beat, and the squad might have enough to challenge for the title. That has to be incentive to try and get the deals done before the deadline.
