Tottenham fans will have their fingers crossed that Fabio Paratici springs into action in 12 days' time with the January transfer window opening for business. Although it may not seem that long action that players such as Djed Spence and Clement Lenglet signed on the dotted line at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 2023 is almost here and that means potential new incomings.
Having added depth to Antonio Conte's squad in the summer with six additions for the current campaign, now it is about Paratici adding some further quality to give the team a boost at such a crucial time in the season. He did exactly that earlier in the year with Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski transforming the Tottenham team and putting them on the path to a Champions League finish.
What Paratici and Tottenham need to avoid in January is going over the club's non-homegrown player quota as it has proved incredibly troublesome in the past. It is very much a balancing act as clubs are not allowed to name more than 17 foreign players in their 25-man Premier League or Champions League squad, with the rules slightly different in both competitions.
