Tottenham Hotspur head into the World Cup break in fourth position in the Premier League having secured a late win over Leeds United at the weekend. A brace from Rodrigo Bentancur turned things around for the Lilywhites after they fell 3-2 behind to Jesse Marsch's team.
Victory means that they're one point behind third placed Newcastle and eight adrift of league leaders Arsenal, who have played a game less. Although some supporters have been somewhat disappointed by Antonio Conte's playing style, the points return at this stage of the season is fairly admirable.
They now have six weeks to regroup, but work will be going on behind the scenes to ensure that the club are in the best possible position moving forward. With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the players we suspect Tottenham might be following at the World Cup with a view to making a move for them in January or next summer.
