Tottenham are set for a very busy final week of the January transfer window.
Antonio Conte is determined to renew his squad after assessing his options during a rollercoaster first few months in charge.
A new right wing-back and attacker are said to be high on Spurs’ agenda while several players could be about to leave, on both permanent and loan deals.
Here, we detail all the latest transfer developments at Tottenham...
Adama Traore
The Wolves winger is expected to become Antonio Conte’s first signing as Tottenham coach, according to Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick.
Negotiations over a deal worth around £20million are ongoing after an initial bid of £15m was rejected. But both clubs are confident of the move taking place.
The deal would push Matt Doherty towards the exit door.
Franck Kessie
Paris Saint-Germain are ready to rival Tottenham for the midfielder, whose AC Milan contract expires in the summer.
Kessie’s camp remain in talks with Spurs despite the new interest, with TuttoMercatoWeb stating that his current club are intent on refusing a January sale.
Corriere della Sera name Yacine Adli and Tommaso Pobega, currently out on loan at Bordeaux and Torino respectively, as Milan’s eventual replacements for the Ivorian.
Giovani Lo Celso
A swap deal could be the Argentine’s route out of North London.
The Athletic report on a player-exchange proposal being in the offing with an unnamed club.
Conte left Lo Celso out of his squad for Sunday’s defeat at Chelsea, which prompted the player to post on social media that he was nonetheless fully fit and ready to play.
Georginio Wijnaldum
After only joining PSG in the summer, reports suggest Wijnaldum come make a quick exit.
At 90min, it is claimed that the midfielder is ready to move back to England with Tottenham very much a destination he would consider. Furthermore, Julian Draxler is said to think the same.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano notes that Wijnaldum wants to fight for his place in Paris, amid rival interest from Arsenal.
Tanguy Ndombele
PSG and Spurs must be in constant contact with the Ligue 1 leader’s hunt for a new central midfielder leading them to talks with the Premier League side over a loan move for Ndombele.
Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick has detailed negotiations over a potential future permanent transfer fee as well as what percentage of his £200,000 weekly wages will be covered by Les Parisiens.
Dele Alli
Newcastle and Everton are reportedly keen on the midfielder, who was also left out versus Chelsea.
A move away from North London is not thought to be close however, with a week still to go before the deadline.
Former Premier League winner Roy Keane has instructed the club and player to call it a day, and told Sky Sports: “I think the kid's lost the eye of the tiger. Sometimes you have to let the kid go, that's the nature of football.”
