Tottenham Hotspur head into transfer deadline day with work to do.
Indeed, Spurs need to get some players off their books, while attacking additions are also a key priority.
Bryan Gil needs to find a new club, while Manor Solomon could also be on the move.
Meanwhile, Tottenham also want to bring in some new attacking talent.
Randal Kolo Muani has been linked to Spurs on deadline day, while Tottenham had talks about Ademola Lookman recently.
Tottenham have been in for Lookman, however, as of Monday morning, it doesn’t sound like a deal is progressing all that much.
Ademola Lookman is still in Italy
Florian Plettenburg gave an update on Nicolas Jackson’s move to Bayern Munich on Monday morning.
However, in the midst of that update, he shared some insight into Ademola Lookman’s situation after he held talks with Tottenham.
According to the journalist, as of Monday morning, Lookman is still in Italy and nothing has progressed in terms of outgoings.
Lookman looked set to leave Atalanta this summer, but with only a few hours to go in the transfer window, that is looking less and less likely.
Ademola Lookman compared to Randal Kolo Muani
It looks like Tottenham may be going for Kolo Muani, but if they were given the choice between Lookman and the French striker, they would perhaps be best off going for the Nigerian.
Indeed, the stats from last season suggest that Lookman is the better player.
However, Lookman would likely be the more expensive option, and that does factor in when you’re planning these late deals.
Lookman may still be in Italy, but with a number of hours still to go in this transfer window, things could change quickly.
In this day and age where most deals are done remotely via emails and WhatsApps, the fact that Lookman is still in Italy may not actually hamper his chances of getting a move back to the Premier League.
