Tottenham have been one of the busiest clubs in the January transfer window – and there could still be more incomings and outgoings before next Monday's deadline
Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of signing Andy Robertson suffered a setback over the weekend after Liverpool pulled the plug on a deal. Talks had taken place between both clubs last week as Thomas Frank sought to add some much-needed experience to his squad.
Robertson has started only four Premier League matches this season, having lost his place to Milos Kerkez. His contract is also set to expire at the end of the season but the former Hull City man now looks set to remain at Anfield until the end of the campaign.
But with just a week to go until the window closes, and Frank still under pressure following Saturday's 2-2 draw with Burnley, Tottenham continue to be the subject of transfer news and gossip.
Veliz deal in danger of collapsing
Tottenham remain open to selling Alejo Veliz to Bahia - but a deal is in danger of collapsing. The striker is currently on loan at Rosario Central, any hopes Spurs had of recalling him have now ended.
That is because the recall clause in the deal is no longer valid as Veliz has played 1,430 minutes so far this season. As a result, Spurs will need the 22-year-old and Rosario Central’s approval to terminate his loan deal.
But Bahia, according to journalist German Garcia Grova, took matters into their own hands and made a formal offer to Rosario Central to terminate the loan agreement immediately. However, and this is the important part, the offer they have made expires today, meaning all parties face a race against time to get a deal completed.
Rayan medical
Conor Gallagher and Souza have already joined Spurs, this month, but now look set to miss out on a deal for Rayan. A report from Brazil claimed last summer that talks with Vasco da Gama over a deal for the forward had taken place.
However, it is now being reported by multiple outlets that Rayan has agreed personal terms with Bournemouth ahead of a proposed £30m transfer. The teenager is set to undergo a medical today (Monday).

Spurs join Svilar transfer race
