Tottenham boss Thomas Frank will look to reshape his squad when the transfer window reopens.
Tottenham suffered another defeat against Liverpool last time out, leaving them 14th in the Premier League table.
Tottenham will surely be active in the market, as they have not been good enough in the first half of the season.
However, there may well be significant exits too, with Radu Dragusin a potential casualty of another spending spree.
Radu Dragusin’s chances of Tottenham exit revealed
Tottenham star Dragusin has nearly recovered from the anterior cruciate ligament injury that he suffered last season.

A report from Italian journalist Alessio Lento claimed that the 23-year-old could depart Spurs on loan, with two unnamed Italian clubs interested in his services.
He states that Dragusin will have talks with Spurs first, which suggests that Frank will make the final decision on whether the Romanian defender departs North London.
Tottenham exit makes no sense for Dragusin
Unless Frank has a replacement lined up, it makes no sense to allow Dragusin to depart when the window reopens.
With Cristian Romero’s injury record and poor discipline, which was on show in the defeat to Liverpool, it would leave Spurs too short in the department, heading into a pivotal period of the season.
Micky van de Ven is the first-choice partner for the Argentine, but back-ups Kevin Danso and Ben Davies do not exactly inspire confidence if they have to come into the team.
Dragusin has shown glimpses of his potential in the chances that he has had under Ange Postecoglou, and he has not had an opportunity to show Frank what he can do.
Spurs learnt their lesson when it comes to poor squad planning last season as they finished 17th in the league, so surely they would not risk the same thing happening again, and allowing the defender to leave.
It would be an extremely risky move, and Frank must make the right decision, otherwise he will leave himself even more vulnerable.
