Tottenham Hotspur have already welcomed one new face to the club this month as Thomas Frank looks to turn things around
Thomas Frank is in a race against time to further bolster his Tottenham Hotspur squad. The Lilywhites have already welcomed a new face to Hotspur Way this month, signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid in a deal worth nearly £35m, but there's still room for improvement.
Unless Spurs win the UEFA Champions League, they face an uphill battle in the race for qualification to Europe's top-flight competition. The Dane's side fell well behind the pack over the festive period, dropping crucial points at home and away.
Tottenham have, however, been plagued by injuries, hence the arrival of Gallagher. Frank will be determined to turn things around and save his job, but he could do with a helping hand from the board.
A few exciting players have been linked with moves to north London, but there's only a couple of weeks or so left of the January transfer window – so they better get a move on. With help from BOYLE Sports, football.london has looked at nine players that Spurs could sign before February 3.
Jorgen Strand Larsen – 5/1
Strand Larsen has featured 23 times across all competitions for Wolves this season, scoring six goals and providing two assists. The 25-year-old striker, whose contract at Molinuex expires in June 2030, hasn't yet reached the heights he enjoyed last term.

Strand Larsen had a superb end to the 2024/25 campaign, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in his final nine Premier League games. The Norway international saved Wolves from relegation and attracted the interest of some top clubs.
Omar Marmoush – 13/2
Marmoush has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester City, which has – naturally – cast doubt over his future. He, who only joined Pep Guardiola's side from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth £59m last year, has played less than 400 minutes this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
The 26-year-old forward did, in fairness, suffer a knee injury at the start of the campaign and then go to the Africa Cup of Nations over the festive period, so Guardiola may well have a plan for him.
James Trafford – 8/1
Trafford was swept aside as soon as Manchester City signed Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old goalkeeper has featured sparingly, feeding off minutes in the Carabao Cup.
Rodrygo – 10/1
Rodrygo was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the summer, but a deal never materialised. Xabi Alonso, who has since been sacked by Real Madrid, convinced the 25-year-old winger to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu, only to continue playing second fiddle to Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
Kobbie Mainoo – 12/1
Kobbie Mainoo looked destined to leave Old Trafford in January until Ruben Amorim was sacked by Manchester United. The 20-year-old midfielder has recently entered the final 18 months of his contract, so an element of uncertainty about his future remains.
Ruben Neves – 14/1
Neves only has six months left on his contract at Al-Hilal, making him an attractive option for lots of top clubs in Europe. If the former Wolves midfielder doesn't put pen to paper on an extension, the Saudi Pro League outfit will be forced to make a difficult decision.
Al Hilal will have to consider whether they'd rather risk losing Neves for free in the summer or cut their losses and cash in before the transfer window shuts. The 28-year-old has largely featured as a six, but he's also filled in at centre-half at times.
Harry Kane – 14/1
Kane has been linked with a return to Tottenham as soon as he left! The 32-year-old striker only has 18 months left on his contract at the Allianz Arena, and Bayern Munich will face the difficult task of fending off interest until he signs an extension.
Marc Guehi – 25/1
Guehi looks set to join Manchester City this month, but he's still been regarded as an outsider by BOYLE Sports. Tottenham have already managed to beat Aston Villa to the signature of Gallagher, so perhaps Frank hijacks another deal before the January transfer window slams shut.
Adam Wharton – 33/1
Wharton has established himself as a key player in Oliver Glasner's side, starting all but two of Crystal Palace's matches in the Premier League this season. With the Eagles boss set to leave Selhurst Park at the end of the campaign, the 21-year-old midfielder seems to face a somewhat uncertain future in south London.
