Tottenham have been given a reply after making a late approach to sign one ex-Chelsea forward, according to a deadline day report.
Spurs' frantic deadline day scramble for attacking reinforcements is proving a nightmare as boss Thomas Frank desperately hunts for bodies before the 7pm cutoff.
The Lilywhites remain active in the market after Sunday's thrilling 2-2 comeback against Man City, where Dominic Solanke bagged a stunning brace including an outrageous scorpion kick.
Frank also confirmed after the match that Spurs will keep pushing for signings.
The problem is massive — 11 senior players are currently injured and Spurs are running out of options fast.
Solanke rolled his ankle against City on Sunday, raising fresh fitness concerns about their main striker. Mohammed Kudus won't be back until April after his injury setback, leaving the attack dangerously thin.
Spurs have already done fairly decent business this month.
They splashed £34 million on Conor Gallagher from Atlético Madrid to replace the injured Rodrigo Bentancur, and brought in Brazilian left-back Souza from Santos for £13 million.
Selling Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace for £35 million kept their net spend level too, but injuries have forced Frank into panic mode.
With Dane Scarlett shipped off to Hibs on loan, only Randal Kolo Muani offers backup to Solanke, and the Frenchman hasn't scored a single Premier League goal since arriving.
Juventus have been pushing hard to take him back on loan, but it would be outrageous for Spurs to let him leave now.
Reports suggest former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has been offered to Spurs today by his agents. The Colombian desperately wants a Premier League return after flopping at Fenerbahçe on loan, managing just five goals in 21 matches. Al-Nassr paid Villa £71 million for him last January, but things haven't worked out.
His representatives have contacted the likes of Nottingham Forest and Leeds United too, but as things stand, nobody's properly committed yet. Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg are also lurking if an English move proves off the table.
There are last-gasp opportunities for Spurs, with the north Londoners also making a last-gasp approach for ex-Chelsea forward Angelo Gabriel.
Tottenham get reply after making Angelo Gabriel approach
Here's the real kicker, though.
Journalist Eduardo Burgos has dropped a bombshell that Tottenham made last-gasp enquiries about Al-Nassr's Angelo in the dying days of the window.
The 21-year-old Brazilian winger joined the Saudi club from Chelsea for around £19 million back in September 2024 after barely getting a sniff at Stamford Bridge.
Burgos made it crystal clear though: Angelo won't be leaving today.
Al-Nassr view him as a summer option to leave rather than a January departure, completely blocking any chance of a loan switch to north London before the imminent deadline.
The Saudi club reckon he needs more time to settle and aren't entertaining offers regardless of how keen Spurs might be.
It's a proper gut punch for Frank considering Angelo's talent. He became the youngest Copa Libertadores scorer ever at 16 whilst tearing it up at Santos, with Jacek Kulig calling him a 'crazy' player with 'crazy potential'.
With hours ticking away, Spurs' deadline day is turning into a disaster.
