Thomas Frank has suggested Tottenham will be active in the January transfer window and football.london's writers have had a go at predicting what business the club will do this month
The January transfer window is officially open and Tottenham could be extremely active over the next month or so.
Thomas Frank's side have been inconsistent in the first half of the 2025/26 campaign and a number of stars being absent due to injury has certainly not helped. The Dane has already suggested Spurs will look to strengthen the squad in the winter window, providing the right profile of player becomes available.
"Of course the window will open and we will be in the market and see if there's anything we can do," Frank said. "But it needs to be something where we think it can clearly improve the team, if not I'd rather want to wait. But we will be out there."
While Tottenham will look to add further quality to the playing squad, a number of stars could also look to exit Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, either permanently or on loan. With all that in mind, football.london's writers have a go at predicting exactly what Tottenham will do in the January transfer window...

Spurs are looking for a left winger, another midfielder and a centre-back if one departs in the window, while Thomas Frank also wants another natural left-back, whether in this window or the next, to challenge the injury-prone Destiny Udogie and allow Djed Spence to battle with Pedro Porro on the right.
Tottenham are also looking to upgrade in any areas they possibly can next month which technically means a variety of players could head through the door if an opportunity opens for them to move.
Spurs want to sell Brennan Johnson, although that would make it the third year in a row in which the club have sold the top scorer from their previous season. Radu Dragusin will want regular football and the north London club will consider loaning and potentially selling the Romanian, who has just returned from his ACL injury and has interest from Serie A clubs.
Mathys Tel could also leave the club on loan, as could centre-back Kota Takai, as Frank looks to bolster his squad for the now while giving development opportunities to players for the future.

I'm expecting Spurs to be highly active in January, not least because Thomas Frank has already said so himself. They definitely need at least one forward, possibly two and they also need to consider strengthening at left-back.
Destiny Udogie's fitness is an issue and Djed Spence has done a fine job filling in but I'd like to see a natural, left-footed full-back competing with Udogie and Spence pushing Pedro Porro on the right and I believe that could happen.
Tottenham need a left-winger and with Brennan Johnson likely to depart, they need to add more goals. He scored 18 last season and it's a mystery to me why he's not fancied by Frank, who tried to bring him to Brentford.
Savinho would be great but he plays on the right and that deal looks somewhat difficult but I do definitely expect Tottenham to bring in at least one attacker.
Further incomings might be subject to departures and there could be a few. Radu Dragusin has interest from Roma, Fiorentina and possibly Juventus, that would likely be a loan. A loan for Mathys Tel would also be beneficial if another winger comes in. I think Wilson Odobert will stay put following his exciting cameo against Crystal Palace, then there could also be a couple of loans for younger players, possible Kota Takai.
