Antonio Conte and Tottenham avoid Pedro Porro issue after late transfer deadline day decision

Antonio Conte should have a fairly simple task on his hands when it comes to naming Tottenham's Champions League squad for the knockout phase. Returning to European action in 13 days' time away at AC Milan, those involved in UEFA competition must submit their 25-man squads very soon.

An area Tottenham have had issues in before due to their large number of non-homegrown players, thankfully the Lilywhites have avoided the problem once again due to their January transfer dealings. Strengthening their squad for the second part of the campaign with Pedro Porro and Arnaut Danjuma joining from Sporting CP and Villarreal respectively, a couple of players also moved on from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of Tuesday's 11pm transfer deadline.

Bryan Gil was one of those after returning to Sevilla on a loan deal on Monday, with Djed Spence and Matt Doherty also heading out of the exit door on deadline day. Doherty's switch to Atletico Madrid, which was initially expected to be a loan deal before it was confirmed that his contract had been mutually terminated, has helped Spurs out in terms of their non-homegrown numbers when it comes to the Champions League.
