The summer transfer window has been a busy one in north London and Tottenham made a welcome change for Antonio Conte, by getting many of the deals secured earlier. Spurs have signed seven new players this summer and seen a number of the squad leave, with a few permanent exits and multiple loan moves.
The likes of Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso needed to secure a move away, as they aren't in Conte's plans for the season. Joe Rodon and Troy Parrott needed temporary moves to give them regular game time and help continue their development.
However there is still time for both incomings and outgoings to be completed and the Italian spoke on his transfer strategy earlier this month. "This squad is this and if someone goes away then another has to come," he said.

"This has to be very clear for everybody. Otherwise we stay with this squad and we continue our path with these players, this squad."
After Tottenham's 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Conte gave an update on any further transfers. "I spoke with the club. I spoke with Paratici, with Daniel Levy, I said to them my opinion," he explained.
"But as you know very well, the most important thing is for the club to know my opinion. If we do something or not, it’s ok."
Therefore it is a bit of a waiting game to find out what is still to come, but football.london takes a look at the latest on those tipped to make a move away, before Thursday's deadline.
Harry Winks and Sergio Reguilon
The latest confirmed deals for Tottenham are Winks and Reguilon's loan moves, with both announcements being made on Tuesday. The midfielder was part of the quartet who haven't been involved in Conte's plans during the summer or the start of the season and needed moves secured.
Winks was linked with a move to Everton early in the window, but that quietened down and his destination until the end of the season has now been confirmed as Italian side Sampdoria. The club's technical director, Carlo Osti, gave an update on the 26-year-old's move not long ago, so it was just a waiting game to get the confirmation.
"We have an agreement with Tottenham, we are defining the final details with the agents, we hope to conclude as soon as possible," he explained, via Sport Witness. On Tuesday, videos circulated on social media of the midfielder in Italy, which was then followed by the loan confirmation.
Conte has also already had his say on Winks' temporary exit, with a positive outlook on the move, for all parties. "I think it is a good opportunity for Sampdoria, especially," he admitted.
"They are getting a really good player. And also for Harry, to go outside of England and into Italy to play in an important league. It will be good.
"But he's going on loan, then next season we will see. For sure, we are talking about a really good player that is going there to play regularly and it is a great signing for Sampdoria if this deal is done," Conte added.
Reguilon's move was also confirmed on Tuesday, with Fabrizio Romano tweeting earlier in the day that the Spaniard had completed his medical with Atletico Madrid and signed the contract, news that was confirmed by the club later in the day.
Sergio Reguilon has joined Atletico Madrid on loan for the 2022/23 season.

This came after football.london reported on Friday that the Spanish side were the latest club to be in talks with Tottenham, after Lazio and Fulham had also shown interest.
Bryan Gil
Another player who looks close to an exit is Gil. The Spaniard needs regular game time to continue his development and although a Premier League move would've been most beneficial, it looks like the youngster will be moving back abroad for the season.
Gil spent the second half of last season at Valencia and it looks as though he will return there, if Tottenham can find a replacement, which the Spanish sides boss Gennaro Gattuso has explained. "We have closed a deal for Bryan, Tottenham have told us that it is 99% done," he said, via 90min.
"We have been waiting for him for two or three days. Tottenham have told us that they have to sign a replacement so that he can travel. We are waiting for Tottenham to sign another player."
Pape Matar Sarr and Japhet Tanganga
Two players who looked as though they may leave Tottenham this summer but could now both stay, are Sarr and Tanganga. football.london reported last week that English defender Tanganga's preference if he left, was AC Milan, with links to various different clubs.
However, on Monday, football.london reported that the 23-year-old now looks like he will remain in N17. We understand the club have blocked a potential move this summer and although things can change quickly in football, it currently looks as though the defender will stay in north London.
Tanganga is yet to make a Premier League appearance this season but he could become a valuable player for Conte, if injuries arise throughout the season. This could be the same case for Sarr, assuming he remains in the capital.
The 19-year-old was another who seemed likely to head out on another loan, to give him regular game time and help him develop. But reports are now suggesting that Rodrigo Bentancur's blow to the head on Sunday may be a catalyst to keeping Sarr at Spurs.
Cremonese general manager Paolo Armenia has spoken on the midfielder's potential move to the Serie A side. "We had the agreement in principle with Sarr of Tottenham but then an injury led Conte to stop everything," he told CuoreGrigiorosso, via The Spurs Web.
The Senegalese international is also yet to feature for Spurs this season but if he remains in the capital, it could give him a good incentive to keep working hard for Conte and fight for his spot in the squad.
There can be many twists and turns in the final days before the transfer window slams shut, but it still seems like there are some further moves which could be confirmed for Tottenham before the deadline.
