Tottenham didn’t do a great deal of business in the January transfer window but then it’s always a testing time.
Only the clubs towards the bottom of the Premier League really added to their ranks, whilst Manchester City added Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi.
Tottenham signed Conor Gallagher and Brazilian left-back Souza to the ranks, with Spurs beating Arsenal to young striker James Wilson on Transfer Deadline Day.

Johan Lange has been quizzed on transfers and it would appear as though plans are already going to be firmly in place for the summer transfer window.
It might prove frustrating for Tottenham fans with the team currently languishing in 14th place but it feels as though Spurs will be going all guns blazing during the summer window.
Tottenham could now make Joao Palhinha U-turn
It had been claimed that Tottenham would almost certainly make a move for Palhinha permanent during the summer transfer window once his loan deal expired.
Now, transfer guru Ben Jacobs believes that it might not be so set in stone and that Thomas Frank could perform a U-turn and choose to look elsewhere.

In the Give Me Sport newsletter, he claimed: “I expect Spurs to have a big summer now and planning for that will be the main focus.
“A centre-back and striker are both positional targets, and Tottenham could also look at the goalkeeper situation. And it will be interesting to see whether Spurs buy João Palhinha.
“There was an initial commitment in the early part of the season but now it’s less clear whether the option will be taken. Conor Gallagher is an excellent arrival, but don’t be surprised if Spurs look at more of a number six profile.”
What Harry Kane said about Joao Palhinha
In fairness, Palhinha probably could be doing more in order to really make waves at Tottenham.
He’s yet to show the form that earned him the move to Bayern Munich from Fulham and ultimately, Spurs will feel as though he’s a worthless permanent signing.

However, Kane is a huge fan of the Portuguese performer.
Speaking about him in August, the Tottenham legend said: “He’s tough, he tackles hard, he’s good on the ball, he knows the Premier League from his time with Fulham and he’s a guy that will give you everything.”
Now, Palhinha will hope to show that side of himself a little bit more to the fan base before the end of the season.
