Tottenham are usually late movers in the transfer market. The club have completed numerous deals later on in the transfer window in the past, including back in February with Mathys Tel sealing a switch from Bayern Munich on deadline day.
Tottenham have been active in the market this summer but it's clear to see that they still have deals to finalise before the window closes for business on Monday, September 1. A new centre-back, No.10 and left winger are on the club's shopping list when it comes to adding to Thomas Frank's squad.
In terms of a brand new No.10, Eberechi Eze is the player in the headlines at present with a big-money move from Crystal Palace a possibility. The England international would be a statement signing for Tottenham and it could be a gamechanger for the club.
Eze has been linked with a move to north London already this summer as Arsenal have been interested in luring him to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have had other areas in the transfer market to strengthen first and foremost, with a new deal for Ethan Nwaneri and the emergence of Max Dowman meaning that Eze is not a priority for Arsenal in the final few weeks of the window.
What could potentially change matters for Arsenal is if a few players are moved on over the next fortnight or so, with Leandro Trossard linked with Aston Villa, and that could possibly open up Arsenal's pathway to sealing a deal for Eze. In the latest episode of Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham, Lee Wilmot, football.london's head of football, mentioned the need for Tottenham to finalise a deal for Eze ASAP just in case of a late transfer threat from their fierce north London rivals.
