Liverpool are now working to beat Tottenham Hotspur to the signing of a highly-rated young Dutch starlet.

Although reports indicate that Spurs are still looking at potential options to strengthen their attack, any new signing appears unlikely at this stage of the transfer window.

Focus now shifts to the summer window, where central midfield could become a priority area for the Lilywhites, who are still short of options who can progress the ball up the pitch.

Over the last few months, multiple sources have suggested that Tottenham are fans of AZ Alkmaar midfielder Kees Smit, who has emerged as one of the best young talents in the Eredivisie over the last 18 months.

Tottenham one of several Premier League clubs who want Kees Smit

TEAMtalk have now confirmed that Tottenham are eyeing a move for the 20-year-old, along with several other Premier League giants.

The report reveals that, alongside the Lilywhites, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea have all expressed an interest in Smit in light of his impressive growth at AZ.

The report claims that the Dutch club will demand more than €60m (£52.2m) for Smit, while it is revealed that some in the Netherlands are saying the midfielder could cost as much as €75m (£65.3m).

However, Tottenham Hotspur may not even get a chance to vie for the youngster in the summer if Liverpool get their way over the coming hours.

Liverpool looking to secure Spurs target Smit before transfer deadline

A report in DAVEOCKOP has now claimed that Liverpool are now attempting to complete a deal for the Netherlands Under-21 international before the window slams shut this evening.

The Reds are currently said to be locked in talks with Smit’s representatives regarding a late move to Anfield.

The report adds that while AZ see the midfielder as a big talent for the future, they are open to selling him for a sizable transfer fee.

Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in a Real Madrid man, who is turning a lot of heads out on loan this year.

Thomas Frank has said that Spurs are still in the market, but with time running out, the Lilywhites do not appear likely to make any more signings.

Some sources have not ruled out a late attacker arriving through the door at N17, with Tottenham thought to have explored a move for Brahim Diaz.

It has now emerged that Diaz is not the only Real Madrid man who is on the Lilywhites’ radar.

Tottenham have enquired about the availability of Endrick

According to Fichajes, Tottenham have expressed interest in signing Madrid’s teenage starlet Endrick.

The Brazilian joined Lyon on loan in December and has impressed for the Ligue 1 side, and his performances in France have not gone unnoticed in England.

Endrick already has three goals and one assist in three Ligue 1 games.

Spurs are one of the clubs that have asked about Endrick’s availability, with the North Londoners believing that the forward has the attributes to thrive in the Premier League.

Thomas Frank’s men are fans of the 19-year-old’s ability to exploit space and see him as a potential signing for the future.

Spurs face competition for Endrick as Real Madrid consider options

Fichajes say that Tottenham are not the only Premier League club interested in the former Palmeiras man, with Sunderland and Leeds United also closely monitoring his progress.

Real Madrid are aware of the growing interest in Endrick, but they are remaining calm at the moment and are not considering any hasty decision.

The report adds that the 19-year-old’s future will be decided ‘calmly and with a strategic vision’ by the Santiago Bernabeu hierarchy as an ‘intense battle’ explodes in England for his services.

Seeing as he only just joined Lyon on loan, one would assume this potential interest is related to future transfer windows.

As we enter the final hours of the transfer window, two reliable journalists have revealed what their sources are saying about Tottenham potentially bringing one more player through the door.

The big question on deadline day was whether Tottenham could bolster their attack, with the Lilywhites ailing with a bloated injury list at the moment.

Thomas Frank has refused to rule out a late addition to the Spurs squad, but the North Londoners are now running out of time to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Spurs fans’ hopes of a late surprise are dwindling by the minute, and the latest updates regarding the club’s pursuits are not too promising.

Alasdair Gold rules out three late Tottenham transfers

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now said that Spurs have not completely given up hope of pulling something out of the bag in dramatic style before the window slams shut.

He suggests that Tottenham may be looking at potential late loan deals to boost Frank’s options upfront amidst the club’s injury crisis.

However, Gold confirms what we have heard from other sources by stating that Monaco do not expect Maghnes Akliouche to be joining the Lilywhites over the next few hours.

The journalist also adds that sources within Spurs have dismissed the possibility of landing Jhon Duran or Moussa Diaby.

Matt Law says Spurs are ‘unlikely’ to sign any more players

The Telegraph’s Matt Law also has some bad news for Tottenham fans who are continuing to hope for a late deal before the 7 pm deadline.

While the journalist admits that you can ‘never say never’, he states that the chances of another player arriving through the door at Hotspur Way are ‘unlikely’.

He concurs with Gold that neither Duran nor Diaby are seen as a target for Tottenham, and adds that both Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani will stay put in N17.

It has been revealed whether Tottenham Hotspur could pull a surprise deal for Maghnes Akliouche out of the hat in the final hours of the transfer window.

Most Spurs fans are disappointed that Conor Gallagher and Souza have been the only two first-team additions so far in January.

Over the past few days, reports have suggested that Tottenham could still complete a late deal for Maghnes Akliouche, although they have to pay a premium for the Frenchman.

Earlier today, The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reported that Spurs are still exploring a deal for Akliouche, but he revealed that one factor makes the move difficult.

Maghnes Akliouche is not expected to be a Tottenham player

Delaney explained that Monaco are unwilling to let the 23-year-old leave without signing a replacement, thus complicating the move for Spurs.

Now, Tom Barclay has taken to social media to rule out a late move for Akliouche for the Lilywhites.

He revealed that the Monaco star is viewed as an alternative number ten option to Xavi Simons in the summer rather than as a January target.

Barclay wrote on X: “Understand Tottenham will not be signing Magnes Akliouche. From what I’m led to believe, he was viewed as a secondary No 10 option to Xavi Simons in the summer. Yes, Spurs have been playing with two No 10s of late but I’m told they won’t be signing MA.”

Why Akliouche to Spurs rumours never made too much sense

It was a left-winger that Thomas Frank’s side needed this window, while Akilouche plays either on the right or as a number ten.

If Spurs are eyeing the Monaco man as an option for the number 10 role, a summer deal may not make too much sense either.

A senior Bayern Munich official has confirmed that a final decision has now been made over the future of Tottenham target Leon Goretzka.

It was revealed that Tottenham had expressed an interest in landing Leon Goretzka, who was initially expected to leave Bayern Munich when his contract runs out at the end of the season.

However, it subsequently emerged that Spurs were trying to secure Goretzka before Monday’s transfer deadline, having brought forward their interest.

The same update stated that Spurs and other clubs were waiting for Bayern Munich to make a final decision on the 30-year-old, and the Bundesliga giants have now confirmed their decision.

Bayern Munich reveal when Tottenham target Leon Goretzka will be leaving

Bayern’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, has now confirmed that the German international will not be leaving before Monday’s transfer deadline.

However, he announced that the two parties have agreed to go their separate ways when the midfielder’s deal runs out in June.

Freund told BILD: “Leon has decided to stay with FC Bayern Munich. We can now also say: Leon Goretzka’s time at FC Bayern will be over in the summer. He will be taking a different path.

“Leon (who joined from Schalke in the summer of 2018; ed.) will have been with FC Bayern Munich for eight years. Extremely successful, extremely strong in the way he has presented himself here as a person and as a player.

“But it’s not over. He will fight with the team in the coming months so that we can achieve great things. And he feels that too. Therefore, I think we’ve had very, very good discussions and want to be completely open about it and communicate openly.”

Spurs may face competition for Goretzka from European giants

One would expect the Lilywhites to be at the table for the 30-year-old in the summer as he decides on his next destination. That decision may depend on the future of Joao Palhinha in N17, though.

Tottenham Hotspur will also have to battle some of the biggest clubs in Europe to secure Goretzka, who TransferMarkt say was worth €70m (£60m) at his peak.

Tottenham Hotspur youngster Alfie Dorrington is now attracting a late interest from a League Two side gunning for promotion.

With the winter transfer window expected to slam shut in less than 24 hours, Tottenham Hotspur have to make a few decisions on the future of their fringe players.

It has been revealed that George Abbott is closing in on another move to League One, while Mason Melia’s future has also been decided after joining Tottenham back in January.

Antonin Kinsky, on the other hand, has attracted interest from clubs in England and Europe, but a decision on Kinsky’s future has now been made by Tottenham.

Tottenham youngster Alfie Dorrington attracting Salford City interest

Alfie Dorrington is another player whose future at Spurs needs to be decided after he was recalled from his loan spell in Scotland with Aberdeen.

The Spurs youngster spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Pittodrie, where he lifted the Scottish Cup in May, before rejoining the Scottish Premiership side again in July.

However, having made 14 appearances for Aberdeen, including six in European competition, the 20-year-old could be on the move again.

MORE SPURS STORIES

That is according to journalist Alasdair Gold, who claims that League Two promotion hopefuls Salford City are leading the pack to sign centre-back Alfie Dorrington on loan from Spurs today.

Why another loan move could suit Spurs and Dorrington

Dorrington is a player with huge potential, one Tottenham are keen to nurture as he progresses in his career.

However, if he is to reach the level of being a first-team regular in north London, he must play football regularly at a high level.

While in Scotland, it was clear that he was not in the manager’s plans, given that Dorrington was not included in their European squad.

But if he does secure a move to Salford, the hope for Tottenham will be for the centre-back to get enough minutes under his belt with a side gunning for promotion, providing vital experience.

A decision has now been made on the future of Tottenham’s Antonin Kinsky, who has managed just 180 minutes of football this season.

Antonin Kinsky has struggled for game time this season for Tottenham Hotspur, with the 22-year-old managing just two starts all campaign.

Thomas Frank, well aware of this, has since admitted that Kinsky is not one hundred per cent happy at Spurs, given his lack of game time.

As a result, the Tottenham number two has attracted interest from several clubs in England and across Europe.

West Ham United have been one of those keen on landing Kinsky this winter window, with a loan deal being discussed.

The idea of a swap deal for Kinsky has also been thrown around for the goalkeeper, who has attracted interest from seven different clubs.

With less than 24 hours to go before the winter window slams shut, Tom Barclay has now shared an update on Kinsky’s transfer situation.

According to the journalist, it is understood that Spurs are reluctant to loan out Antonin Kinsky despite interest from several clubs, including West Ham.

It is believed that the Czech keeper is set to stay put in North London.

Why Spurs need to keep Kinsky in their squad

This is a big boost for Tottenham, as Kinsky is a player with immense potential, given how young he is.

Game time for the rest of the season will, for sure, be hard to come by for the 22-year-old, as Spurs are out of every cup competition except for the Champions League.

Guglielmo Vicario remains Tottenham’s number one at the moment and will obviously play all the minutes left this season in both the league and in Europe.

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a summer move for a highly-rated South American starlet, but they now face competition from a Premier League giant.

With each hour that ticks by, it is looking increasingly unlikely that Tottenham Hotspur will pull a late deal out of the hat before the January window slams shut.

Focus could now shift to the summer, with Thomas Frank already promising Spurs fans that the club will have a ‘big summer’.

After securing the services of Souza from Santos, it has now emerged that the Lilywhites have their eye on another highly-rated Spanish defender.

Tottenham battling Man United for Argentine defender Lautaro Rivero

Several months ago, it emerged that Tottenham are fans of River Plate starlet Lautaro Rivero, who has proven himself to be one of the best young centre-backs in Argentine football.

A new report from El Crack Deportivo has now claimed that the 22-year-old defender remains on the North Londoners’ radar ahead of next summer’s transfer window.

However, it is revealed that Man United have now entered the race for Rivero and have now moved ahead of the Lilywhites.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The report adds that Spurs are not prepared to give up on the centre-back just yet and are ‘looking to shove’ the Red Devils aside to land the South American in the summer.

More clubs could enter the race for Lautaro Rivero

El Crack Deportivo say that the Argentina international is also on the radar of Man City, in addition to Thomas Frank’s team and Michael Carrick’s side.

The outlet claims that Rivero has a release clause of €100m (£87m) in his contract, which puts River Plate in a strong negotiating position.

A late loan move involving a Tottenham Hotspur youngster is beginning to gather pace as the final hours of the winter window tick away.

With only a few hours left before the winter window slams shut, deals are expected to be flying in right, left and centre, and Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be involved.

The Lilywhites are keen on making a few additions to their squad before the window closes, but a few players could well be heading out the door.

Spurs still have a few of their youngsters who will be itching for more regular minutes at the senior level, and one such player is already attracting interest with only hours left in the winter transfer window.

Tottenham youngster George Abbott attracting League One loan interest

According to journalist Alasdair Gold, it is understood that League One side Mansfield Town are currently leading the way to sign George Abbott today on loan from Spurs.

The Tottenham youngster has been sent out on loan several times already in his career with the Lilywhites and even earned a move to Wycombe Wanderers back in the summer.

However, Abbott picked up a serious injury in October last year and was recalled in January to north London as he worked his way back to full fitness.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Indeed, the 20-year-old remains in Tottenham’s plans, having signed a new deal last summer following an impressive loan stint with Notts County.

Why another loan move makes sense for Spurs and Abbott

Another loan deal is definitely a welcome development for the 20-year-old Abbott, who is capable of playing in central and defensive midfield.

While with Wycombe, the Tottenham academy graduate featured 15 times and scored one goal for the League One side.

Mansfield are currently 11th in the same division and sit two points off Wycombe in ninth, and ten points away from the promotion qualification spots.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to strengthen their attack at the dying stages of the transfer window, with three attackers alleged to be on the club’s radar, according to journalist Miguel Delaney.

Under Daniel Levy, Tottenham made a habit of leaving crucial deals until very late, and Spurs fans would have hoped things would be different under the new leadership group.

However, we are yet again at a point where Spurs are looking to complete a late deal with just hours left in the transfer window.

Tottenham fans have been frustrated that the club have not added firepower to their forward line this month, but reports over recent days have suggested that Spurs could make a late move for Maghnes Akliouche.

Maghnes Akliouche will be tough for Tottenham to sign

Miguel Delaney has now revealed that Spurs have not given up hope of adding a forward to their squad before the window slams shut at 7 pm.

However, he revealed that Monaco are unwilling to let Maghnes Akliouche leave without signing a replacement first.

The journalist further added that the former Aston Villa duo, Moussa Diaby and Jhon Duran, also remain ‘possibilities’ for the North London club.

Delaney wrote on X: ‘Spurs looking for a forward, but Monaco won’t let Akliouche go without a replacement. Diaby/Duran possibilities.”

Both Moussa Diaby and Jhon Duran keen on Premier League return

It was reported a couple of days ago that Tottenham had enquired about Diaby, who is thought to be keen to leave Al-Ittihad to return to Europe.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Duran has been offered to Spurs by intermediaries as the striker’s loan spell at Fenerbahce has not gone according to plan.

However, the same update claimed that it is Lille who are the favourites to win the race for the Colombian international.
