Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski have made some start to life at Tottenham since heading to N17 from Juventus on the final day of the transfer window. The former has made himself right at home in midfield, with the latter contributing in the final third with three goals and six assists.
Fabio Paratici's January dealings have certainly boosted Antonio Conte's Spurs squad and everyone will be hoping that the managing director of football can pull off another transfer masterclass come the summer. But how exactly have the players linked with Tottenham in January done since the transfer window closed for business? football.london takes a look.
Adama Traore
It did appear in January that Traore would be making his move to Tottenham following plenty of speculation regarding a summer transfer to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A move continued to drag on and that allowed Barcelona to instead nip in and sign him on loan with the option of making his move permanent for £29million.

Amid questions over the player's end product following a lack of goals and assists for Wolves, he silenced some of his critics immediately with an assist on his debut against Atletico Madrid. He again did likewise in their derby clash against Espanyol before registering another two against Napoli in the Europa League.
Previously a regular in the team under Xavi following his January switch, the Spain international has had to make do with a role coming off the bench in recent weeks in La Liga. Starting matches in Europe prior to dropping down to the bench last Thursday against Eintracht Frankfurt, the player will now be hoping he is given more minutes in the league between now and the final day following their shock Europa League exit.
Given his current position in Xavi's plans in regards to his Barcelona team, it remains to be seen if the club will make his loan move permanent come the summer.
Sofyan Amrabat
Tottenham were on the lookout for a new central midfielder in January and Amrabat was one of a number of players linked with a move to N17. Someone who Conte and Paratici were aware of following his time playing in Serie A, the Moroccan had played a bit-part role for Fiorentina in the first few months of the season.
Since returning to Florence after representing his country at the Africa Cup of Nations at the start of the year, the 25-year-old has found himself in and out of the XI. On the scoresheet in February with a late winner over Spezia, Amrabat played the full 90 minutes recently away at Napoli as Fiorentina dealt their opponents a major title blow with a 3-2 win.
He was back on the bench in the following game as he came on for the final 12 minutes against Venezia.
Luis Diaz
Tottenham fans were extremely excited when news started to emerge that they had made their move to try and sign Porto ace Luis Diaz. Spurs' interest saw Liverpool spring into action and they instead secured a deal for the Colombian to deny the Lilywhites a statement signing.
The 25-year-old has made an instant impression at Anfield with three goals and one assist in his first 16 games for the club. Already getting his hands on the Carabao Cup, Diaz will be hoping to add the Premier League title, Champions League and FA Cup to his collection before the season comes to an end.
Diaz has looked right at home in the Premier League since his switch and he will only get better and better with the more game time he gets under his belt. As great as it would have been to see the attacker seal a move to Tottenham, Kulusevski has done a fine job on the right flank following his deadline day switch from Juventus.
Franck Kessie
Kessie's contract status at AC Milan always meant he was going to be linked with a move away from the San Siro in January. However, his participation at the Africa Cup of Nations always meant it was going to be extremely tricky for a deal to come to fruition.
Continuing to play a pivotal role for AC in the middle of the park, the Rossoneri top the Serie A table with five games remaining but city rivals Inter crucially have a game in hand. Regardless of whether AC win Serie A or not, Kessie will join Barcelona in the summer with reports indicating that he has signed a four-year contract at the Camp Nou.
Djed Spence
Spence's outstanding form during his loan spell at Nottingham Forest has alerted a number of Premier League clubs ahead of next season. Given Spurs' struggles at right wing-back throughout the campaign, it came as no surprise to see the Lilywhites mentioned in regards to a deal for the 21-year-old and talk will only continue this summer.
Spence has contributed in the final third for Forest over the course of the term after registering three goals and five assists, with the player getting three of his five assists to his name over the past two months against Bristol City and Reading. He was also on the scoresheet in March in their 3-1 win over QPR at the City Ground.
Forest's excellent run of form has propelled them into the play-offs and they look set to contest for a place in the Premier League providing they can maintain their recent run. Spence and Middlesbrough then have a decision to make over the summer as a number of clubs will be keen to tie up a deal for him, with the player more than making his case to Paratici and Spurs recently.
Weston McKennie
It came as no surprise to see Tottenham linked with Juventus ace Weston McKennie in January given Paratici brought him to Turin from German side Schalke. However, it was always going to be such a tough deal for the Lilywhites to complete with boss Massimiliano Allegri not wanting to lose one of his first-team starters.
McKennie remained a regular in the Bianconeri team after the winter transfer market came to a close but the midfielder is now on the sidelines after suffering a double metatarsal fracture to his left foot during their Champions League tie against Villarreal. McKennie remains out injured but reports suggest he could possibly make his return to full fitness early next month.
