Thomas Frank is looking to strengthen his Tottenham squad in the January transfer window rather than letting players leave.
The Dane is under huge sack pressure after Tottenham were beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Saturday evening.
Emi Buendia and Morgan Rogers fired Villa into a two-goal lead at the break, and despite Wilson Odobert halving the deficit early in the second half, Frank’s side could not find the leveller.
Attention has now turned back to the transfer market as Spurs have received a bid for one member of their first-team squad.
Tottenham reject approach for Radu Dragusin
Brennan Johnson has already completed a move to Crystal Palace for a reported £35million, leaving Frank short on options in attacking areas.

Johnson was down the pecking order at Tottenham, but with Mohammed Kudus now ruled out until April, allowing the winger to depart is looking like a big mistake.
According to Alasdair Gold, Spurs have now rejected an approach from Roma for defender Radu Dragusin.
The Italian side wanted to take the centre-back on loan until the end of the season, but the North London outfit have refused the request.
Roma are owned by The Friedkin Group, who have also held a controlling stake in Everton since December 2024.
Dragusin spent the first half of the season out injured before returning at the end of December, coming off the bench in the closing stages as Tottenham beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
The 23-year-old has been an unused substitute in each of Spurs’ last four games.
Who are Tottenham going to sign in January?
As well as holding onto the players they already have, Tottenham are desperate to make some additions in the January window.
Frank’s side currently sit 14th in the Premier League, and a host of injuries has left the former Brentford manager with a depleted squad.
Tottenham are set to complete the signing of Souza from Santos, after having a £13million bid accepted for the left-back.
Spurs are also looking to bring in a new left winger and central midfielder this month, to help address the lack of creativity in the side.
However, it remains to be seen whether the North London outfit can get any further deals over the line.
