Tottenham are keen to continue to add to their squad in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Lilywhites have backed up their busy summer transfer window with a bright start to the new Premier League season, but they are still targeting further improvements this winter.
Mohammed Kudus has been a bright spark for Spurs so far this season, and they will hoping to replicate the success of that transfer with some of their January business.
Thomas Frank has identified a clear area for improvement when the window opens once again, but the N17 outfit are going to have to fight off competition if they want to get their man.
Tottenham eye Ruben Neves as Man United and Newcastle lurk
Frank wants to add to the midfield ranks at Tottenham in the January window, despite some impressive performances from the likes of Joao Palhinha and Lucas Bergvall in the opening few games.

The North Londoners have been linked with a move for Morten Hjulmand from Sporting CP in the last few days, but they could now be about to move for a much more familiar face.
Ruben Neves made over 175 Premier League appearances during his stint with Wolves, and he could now be set to return to English football with Spurs eyeing up a deal, according to the Daily Briefing.
It is understood that the Portugal international is likely to leave Al-Hilal this summer, with his services potentially set to become available for as little as £17million.
The Lilywhites are one of the candidates who are considering an attempt to bring Neves back to the Premier League, but a deal is unlikely to come easily for them, given that Manchester United and Newcastle are also thought to be keen.
Ruben Neves would be a shrewd signing for Spurs
Palhinha looks to be an impressive signing for Tottenham based on the early evidence that he has provided since his move, and Neves would be a similarly shrewd acquisition.
He is still only 28, so he should have plenty left in his legs to be able to seamlessly adapt to life back in the Premier League, despite having spent the last two years in Saudi Arabia.
The midfielder was regularly touted for moves to some of the division’s top sides during his stint at Molineux, and it would be an absolute steal for Spurs if they could land him for just £17m.
Swift transfer business wasn’t particularly a hallmark for Spurs during Daniel Levy’s reign, but with their former chief now gone, they could be about to act quickly to secure Neves’ services.
