Tottenham have made a late phone call over a deal to bring in a new defender this month, Sky Sports revealed live on their deadline day coverage.
Injury hit Spurs fight back against City
A rip-roaring second-half from a depleted Tottenham side saw them fight back from two goals down to claim a 2-2 draw at home to Manchester City and boost fierce rivals Arsenal’s title bid.
City looked set to cruise to another victory after first-half goals from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo put Pep Guardiola’s men in control.
Spurs had been booed off at half-time, but a controversial 53rd-minute own-goal by Marc Guehi gave Thomas Frank’s misfiring team a lifeline before Dominic Solanke’s sensational back heel levelled the scores after 73 minutes.
There was still time for either team to find a winner, but the spoils were shared and Manchester City are now six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
It was a timely comeback for under-fire Frank, who has struggled to win over the Spurs fanbase and although this made it only two wins in 15 league fixtures, it prevented another defeat at home.
The Lilywhites are scouring the market for defensive additions as their backline continues to be depleted by injuries, and Sky Sports have confirmed they've made a late attempt to sign a Premier League star on deadline day.
Tottenham make final phone call for Robertson
Speaking live on Sky's deadline day special, their reporter outside Tottenham's training ground revealed they have made one last attempt to sign Liverpool star Andy Robertson.
"Our information was that a check call has gone in just to see if Liverpool’s position has changed as to the availability of Andy Robertson, but that's a no."
The 90-cap Scotland defender is out of contract in the summer, so Spurs' repeated attempts this month suggest they will be front of the queue for his signature come the end of the season.
The Liverpool defender makes £160,000-a-week at Anfield, which would place him among Tottenham's highest earners.
Frank has been forced to use Djed Spence at left-back for much of the season, but the 25 year-old is more comfortable on the right.
