It proved to be a frustrating January transfer window for Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte in a number of ways, despite bringing in two new arrivals.
Spurs signed Juventus duo Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur on deadline day, while Conte was also able to trim down his midfield and loan out Tanguy Ndombele, Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso, while Dele Alli left permanently.
But heading into January, Conte wanted a new right wing-back, midfielder and a striker, with Bentancur the only arrival in the middle of the park.
