While we wait for the signings of Mathys Tel to finalize, we have some news that the last hour of Spurs’ window could be rather quiet. Nizaar Kinsella of the BBC is now writing that Spurs are expected to finalize the Tel loan, which will include a purchase option of some kind, but are not expected to add any more players after that.
So that would make Spurs’ January window a triumverate of incoming players: Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso, and Mathys Tel (assuming it goes through). You’ll certainly be able to have your say on what you think about that window heading into a League Cup semifinal match against Liverpool and a bunch of upcoming Premier League matches. But there will be a time and place for that. For now, let’s just wait for the Mathys Tel deal to be completed and then we can look at the big picture stuff.
Spurs did try and bring in another central defender with Radu Dragusin out for the rest of the season, but weren’t able to get one across the line. So let’s hope Danso the rest of the crew stay healthy (-ier) this spring than they did this winter.
