Tottenham Hotspur have now been contacted with a fresh opportunity to sign a Real Madrid attacker, according to recent reports.
Frank: "Lewis family is super committed" to project
After using the Champions League to get back to winning ways once again, Thomas Frank will be desperate to replicate Tottenham's European form in the Premier League.
Up next, the Lilywhites square off against Manchester City in the hope that they can prove to be a thorn in Pep Guardiola's side for the umpteenth time.
The challenge, though one that Spurs have surprisingly overcome numerous times over the years, is likely to test the depths of Frank's squad yet again following recent injuries.
He told reporters in the build-up: “I think we lost, I can’t remember, six or seven players inside three weeks in January? That’s crazy.
“There were definitely too many, so yeah of course (the squad) it’s weaker than we started the first of January. I can promise that the Lewis family is super committed to this project.
"They want to do everything and I would go against my rule, hopefully only once, that there’s no doubt it’s clear that the club wants to sign Semenyo. They did everything. I think that’s a clear signal that the Lewis family is very committed."
Of course, it's not just a big week on the pitch, either. Away from the action, Spurs are running out of time to welcome additional reinforcements.
To that end, those in North London have reportedly set their sights on late moves for a number of players - including the likes of Raheem Sterling, who is now a free agent - and Real Madrid's Brahim Diaz.
Tottenham offered chance to sign Brahim Diaz
As reported by TeamTalk, Tottenham have now been offered the chance to sign Diaz from Real Madrid this month and have launched a late enquiry as a result.
The attacking star has failed to move into Alvaro Arbeloa's starting side since returning from AFCON and intermediaries are now exploring a January exit.
Spurs' attack has been the element which has fallen most under Frank, despite welcoming Randal Kolo Muani and chief creator Xavi Simons in the summer.
It's a problem which could force their hand in the transfer market in the hope that Diaz puts AFCON heartbreak behind him and returns to the Premier League.
If Spurs were to sign the Madrid man, they'd be getting one over on both Newcastle United and Aston Villa, who are also reportedly chasing a last-minute deal this month.
The Magpies were reportedly in pole position to sign Diaz earlier this week as they look to boost their own attacking options, but could now see their move hijacked by those in North London. It would be an all too familiar story for Eddie Howe.
