Tottenham Hotspur have already had a productive January transfer window welcoming Conor Gallagher and Souza to the club, but the club may not be done bolstering their ranks just yet
Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed a fruitful transfer window this month, with potentially more arrivals to come ahead of Monday's deadline.
Spurs secured Conor Gallagher in a £34million deal with Atletico Madrid, before bolstering their backline with Santos star Souza for a further £13million. However, it now appears as though Thomas Frank is looking for additions in terms of firepower in the business end of the window, with a number of prolific attackers brought up in conversation.

Stiff competition for Saudi star
Intermediaries are said to have contacted several Premier League clubs to explore a potential return to the English top flight for Moussa Diaby. The Al-Ittihad winger has thrived in the Saudi Pro League this season, racking up two goals and five assists from 16 appearances thus far.
However, the 26-year-old - who plied his trade with Aston Villa for a year before his move to the Middle East in 2024 - has recently been linked with a return to English soil this month. It is said that Tottenham, Villa, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Sunderland were all contacted by representatives.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan has also been reported as a potential destination for Diaby this month, with claims earlier this month that a loan with a mandatory purchase option had been looked at. Any move for Diaby could be a complex matter, however.
As per TEAMtalk, a potential transfer may prove unworkable due to the tax implications pertaining to a mid-season return to the UK. Players can face a significant tax penalty for returning from Saudi Arabia within a two-year period of arrival.
A product of the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy with a successful stint at Bayer Leverkusen on his books, any potential suitors have a valid reason to be excited over the prospect of welcoming Diaby to their ranks this month.
Jean-Philippe Mateta latest
Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as potential suitor for Jean-Philippe Mateta this month, as the striker looks for the exit at Selhurst Park. The 28-year-old striker has been linked with a wealth of teams in the current window, including but not limited to Manchester United, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Everton, West Ham, Newcastle United and Juventus.
And with the Eagles agreeing a deal in principle with Wolves for Jorgen Strand Larsen this week, it could open the door for Mateta's exit. The Frenchman has scored eight goals from 23 outings this season, and is admired for his physical presence and aerial ability in particular.
With Spurs currently lacking a proven talisman up top, Mateta could be the perfect fit as they look to turn the tide in the Premier League and kick on with their Champions League run.
A deal may not come on the cheap, however, given that Crystal Palace are expected to demand in the region of £35million-£40million to part ways with the striker, who is under contract until next summer.
