Tottenham Hotspur are expected to make a late transfer move for a forward on deadline day that is "out of left-field" according to Alasdair Gold.
GIVEMESPORT understands that Spurs went into the January transfer window wanting a defensive midfielder, a left forward and a striker and, unless you count Conor Gallagher as a defensive midfielder, they have not managed to fill any of those roles.
Time is now running out to bring any new signings into the club, with the January window closing at 7pm on February 2.
Maghnes Akliouche and Jhon Duran In The Frame
Plenty of names have been linked with a move to north London - Jhon Duran and Maghnes Akliouche chief among them, but with time running out, football.london's Tottenham correspondent Gold believes there may be something happening in the background that no one knows about.
After all, Spurs have recent history of that, with a move for Wilson Odobert being confirmed barely two hours after an initial link popped up with the former Burnley forward in 2024.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Gold said: "Spurs are going to have to get really creative. I think we're going to get something left-field, something out of the woodwork is going to emerge."
Who Could Tottenham Sign To Bolster Thomas Frank's Squad?
"You're going to see so many links with Spurs because people know that they're looking for attacking players, so there's going to be so many stories.
"There will be agents using Tottenham to get their players a move somewhere or just to get them a new contract. I just feel like something's going to come out of left-field that none of us expected and a name that's not been reported."
Spurs came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, with Thomas Frank's patched up side digging their head coach out from further pressure that was heaping on his shoulders.
Tottenham Fans Will Not Be Happy With Transfer Window
And Gold believes questions will be asked if Tottenham do not make any moves on deadline day.
He added: "They're going to have to pull something out of the bag in quite dramatic style really, otherwise questions are going to quite rightly be asked about the ambition and the planning behind this window.
"It's a window where they've sold last season's top scorer, spent the money on a central midfielder, brought in a 19-year-old left-back and suffered a billion injuries in the squad. The squad has not been improved as a whole."
