Tottenham transfer round-up: Spurs officials work on deal, teen deal green-light
Tottenham continue to be active in the winter market as links to multiple players have arisen with less than two weeks remaining in the window.
There is no doubt that Ange Postecoglou is dealing with an injury crisis in North London right now, not helped by recent injuries to Pape Sarr and Dominic Solanke.
As a result, bringing new stars in before the 3 February deadline could prove to be wise but Spurs have just 12 days left to make their move.
Tottenham News rounds up all the latest transfer news from Wednesday, 22 January.
Raphinha Tottenham bombshell sparks astonishment
Tony Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs laughed after discussing a report which surfaced late in Barcelona’s 5-4 Champions League win over Benfica on Tuesday (21 January).
The talkSPORT presenters found themselves in hysterics after eventual matchwinner Raphinha was linked with a switch to Tottenham from the Balgruana.
It is safe to say that Hawksbee couldn’t see a deal being completed by the Lilywhites in January, especially after the Brazil international’s European exploits.
He said: “Says ’Tottenham are showing an interest in signing Raphinha from Barcelona’ – it’d be a tough call for him, wouldn’t it?
“The greatest night of his footballing life’ he’s called last night, getting the winner in the dying seconds in the Champions League. Or, come in for a relegation battle at Spurs in January? I wonder what he’s going to do – excellent timing everybody, well done.”
