Tottenham, who have been busy in the January transfer window, could look at signing an attacking reinforcement with just hours remaining in the transfer window

Tottenham and their Premier League counterparts have only hours remaining to finalise any transfers before the 7pm deadline. Spurs have already been busy during the window, completing several incoming and outgoing transactions.

Thus far, they have secured deals for midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid and full-back Souza from Santos. As the window enters its closing stages, bolstering their attacking options is anticipated to be amongst Spurs' top priorities.

Reports suggest the club have considered players including Marmoush, Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and the injured Savinho, though whether an attacking signing materialises in time is yet to be determined.

Following Sunday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City, Spurs manager Thomas Frank commented: "I have plenty of support. We are definitely still in the market. We hit a little bit hard with injuries but let's see."

With that in mind, football.london has examined the latest transfer speculation surrounding the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Brahim Diaz 'enquiry'

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are amongst the Premier League clubs to have made enquiries regarding the Real Madrid player's availability. His long-term prospects under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa have been questioned since his return to the club following the Africa Cup of Nations.

Despite his standout performance in the tournament with Morocco, the 24-year-old is reportedly on the periphery under Arbeloa, whose early team selections have given the playmaker limited opportunities to shine. Those close to the player concede there's 'little chance' of this situation improving in the near future.

As a result, Diaz's agents have begun 'discreetly sounding' out the market, reaching out to clubs across Europe to assess potential interest ahead of a possible transfer.

Andy Robertson 'plan'

In terms of Robertson's 'plan', football.london understands that Spurs could conduct 'a late check on Andy Robertson's status.'

Liverpool are believed to have initiated preliminary discussions with Tottenham last week regarding a potential move for the left-back, whose contract expires this summer. Robertson is thought to be seeking more regular playing time ahead of the World Cup, but the Reds have been unable to recall Kostas Tsimikas from Roma.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has since indicated he expects Robertson to stay at Anfield.

"He will be part of the team and nothing is happening on this side," Slot stated.

"It's hard to say anything definite in this world we are in but I expect him to stay."
