It's never quiet at Tottenham Hotspur. The January transfer window was billed as one to get excited about for those of a Spurs persuasion, but fans have perhaps been left wanting.
Thomas Frank's side have been poor in attack this season, to put it simply. The Lilywhites languish in 14th place in the Premier League, and Brennan Johnson was sold to Crystal Palace last month. Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison are both injured for the foreseeable future.
Results need to improve quickly if Frank is to save his skin, putting that simply too, and there's a sense Tottenham could have done with more activity in the market, something Cristian Romero pointed toward when he seemingly criticised the board after Sunday's spirited draw with Manchester City.
It's not strictly true to say the north Londoners haven't strengthened their attack.
Why Spurs signed James Wilson
Hearts striker James Wilson, 18, was pinched from Arsenal on deadline day, the promising striker moving to Spurs on an initial loan with the option to make the move permanent come summer.
Wilson joins an array of attacking talent in the Tottenham Academy, with Irish goalscorer Mason Melia, 18, also joining the club last month.
Last week, Dane Scarlett moved to the Scottish Premiership from Hibernian on loan, and Will Lankshear is out with Oxford United for the season.
But in Wilson, who is 18 and already has eight senior goals with Hearts, the board will feel they have signed a surpassing talent, doubly so after bitter rivals Arsenal were beaten to his signature.
Wilson has the potential to be a star at Tottenham, but the young Scotland international may not be the cream of Spurs' youthful crop, with another possessing generational potential as he goes from strength to strength out on loan.
Safe to say the young ranks down at N17 are not bad at all.
Spurs have got the new Luka Modric
Luka Modric is one of the greatest players of his generation, and he built those elite blocks with Tottenham before moving to Real Madrid in 2012.
In Luka Vuskovic, Tottenham may have landed their new version, with the 18-year-old Croatian defender sharing with his countryman a natural ability that is suggestive of greatness.
The Londoners reached an agreement with Hajduk Split in 2023, but the teenager would not become a Tottenham player until 2025, thereafter moving out to the Bundesliga, on loan with Hamburg.
Hamburg are 13th and threatened by the potential of relegation, but Vuskovic has been immense this season, so young and yet so strong, an age-belying leader.
The gains he has made as a professional so far certainly defy his young age, and this suggests he stands a far greater chance of nailing down a position in Tottenham's senior set-up than Wilson, more apt for regular first-team involvement from the get-go.
Look at how he compares to Micky van de Ven. The Dutchman is rightly heralded as one of the most talented centre-backs in the Premier League; an athletic phenomenon, he has been linked with a move to Liverpool of late, and Spurs have responded by pricing him at £100m.
Like Van de Ven, Vuskovic is "turning into a goal machine", according to journalist Antonio Mango, but he's also establishing himself as one of the most robust defenders in Europe, his 8.5 clearances per Bundesliga game an absurd effort.
He is enjoying a stunning season in the German top flight, for sure, and has been hailed by analyst Ben Mattinson as a "freak talent" for physical and technical skills that most defenders could only dream about.
While Vuskovic does not share with Modric an aptitude as a midfielder, he's also remarkably talented, creative on the ball and devastating when looking to recover possession.
He is one-of-a-kind and will only get better over the next few years. In this, Tottenham may have landed themselves a prodigy, one with more potential than Wilson and perhaps anyone else looking to break into the big time under Frank's management.
