Football London

Tottenham could confirm up to three last-ditch deadline day transfers as Thomas Frank looks to bolster his squad for the remainder of the 2025/26 season.

Mathys Tel, Mohammed Kudus, Kota Takai, Joao Palhinha and Xavi Simons have been the confirmed arrivals with Randal Kolo Muani seemingly set to become Spurs' sixth summer signing on a straight loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain.

Further incomings, in addition to that, have not been ruled out with a new defender and winger targeted and though just a few hours of the window remains, Spurs could yet strike right before the deadline. Departures could play a big role in that with Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil both expected to leave.

With all of that being said, football.london have taken a look at three potential wildcard signings for Tottenham

Kevin

Fulham are also in the market for a winger and looked to be signing Shakhtar Donetsk star Kevin. A £34.6million deal has been agreed club-to-club but personal terms are yet to be finalised and that could allow for Spurs to hijack their move.

AC Milan's Samu Chukwueze has also been of interest but almost out of nowhere, the Cottagers agreed to sign Tyrique George from Chelsea on loan with an obligation-to-buy.

It seems unlikely that all three join Fulham and considering the difficulties faced in the Kevin deal, it would certainly make sense for the Brazilian to be the player pursued. Sporting CP made a late attempt to hijack the move, but a permanent move to Fulham has now been fully finalised, as per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

Nathan Ake

A left-footed centre-back joining is certainly the preference for Spurs as evidenced by their interest in Arsenal-bound Piero Hincapie.

Manchester City's Nathan Ake could be the perfect alternative especially as Manuel Akanji looks set for a move to Inter after turning down a move to their bitter rivals AC Milan. Ake played alongside Dominic Solanke at Bournemouth and therefore a dream reunion could be on the cards

Harry Wilson

As there is so little time remaining in the window, Spurs do not have the luxury of taking their time on dream targets. With that in mind, Premier League proven Harry Wilson is seemingly available as Leeds United have showed an interest in signing him.

The Wales international has been a consistent performer over the last few seasons and would add an extra body in attack for Spurs while also having the capability to play in midfield.

Ademola Lookman of Atalanta also has that versatility and he is seemingly the most likely addition before 7pm especially now Bayern Munich have revived a deal to sign Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson.

The final hours are ticking away on Tottenham's summer transfer window and the opportunity to build a squad for Thomas Frank to compete across all four competitions.

Spurs have made improvements to their starting XI this summer with the arrival of Mohammed Kudus in a £55million move from West Ham, the loan signing of Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich and the £52million transfer of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Tottenham also signed Japan international centre-back Kota Takai for £5million earlier in the window from Kawasaki Frontale, while the loan move of Mathys Tel was made permanent for £30million.

Heading out of the door have been captain Son Heung-min in a move to LAFC that was an MLS record of more than £20million while a string of loan players have departed around the UK, Germany and Argentina, including Luka Vuskovic, who only arrived this summer finally from Hajduk Split and is now in Hamburg on loan.

What else is still set to happen with just over two hours to go?

Incomings

Spurs are set to swoop in a deadline day move for Randal Kolo Muani, with the 26-year-old France international joining from PSG in a straight season-long €5million (£4.3million) loan without an option or obligation to buy. He was spotted with Tottenham's technical director Johan Lange in London after finishing his medical.

Juventus were unable to tie up a deal to bring Muani to Turin permanently following his half-season loan in Serie A, where he netted eight goals in 16 league matches for the Italian giants. football.londonreported at the weekend that Frank had told Tottenham that he only wanted players who would improve the level of his starting XI rather than squad fillers and the Frenchman adds to that.

He has been capped 31 times by France and scored nine goals and has made 23 appearances in the Champions League, scoring three times, and has adapted quickly and scored good numbers in Ligue 1, the Bundesliga and Serie A. He also played at this summer's Club World Cup.

Spurs remain hopeful over Dominic Solanke's ankle with an injection given to the player with the plan of settling it down over this international break; the club hope he will be back in action within a couple of weeks. But Muani's move suggests they are planning after last season's injury crisis in case the England international's ankle does not react positively to the treatment. There is also Richarlison's injury record to take into account.

Spurs had been continuing to look for further opportunities, including at centre-back and wingers - although Muani can play on the flanks if required. However, at this point it looks like the Frenchman is likely to be the final new face through the door this summer, barring a late unexpected move.

When it comes to a new winger, Tottenham had to weigh up whether to bring in a newcomer on deadline day who was not high up the list of their original targets or wait for a future window to try to sign a player up around the top of it, like Manchester City's Savinho. Both strategies of course come with their risks.

The centre-back search at this point in the window either failed to find the level of player Frank wanted or turned up defenders who were not willing to play second fiddle to captain Cristian Romero, who signed a new contract last month, and Micky van de Ven, despite the number of games to be played this season. Frank admitted on Friday that he was unlikely to sign a new centre-back at this point.

Outgoings

For Spurs it's about getting the players out the door who either aren't in Frank's plans or are just not going to be able to be registered in the Champions League.

Spanish winger Bryan Gil is set to leave the club after four years and three loans with a permanent move to Girona for the 24-year-old in a €10million (£8.6million) deal.

Tottenham are also looking to move Manor Solomon out of the door with Crystal Palace in talks over a loan for the 26-year-old Israel international, who impressed at Leeds United last season.

Spurs would like to sell Yves Bissouma, who currently has a knee injury that Frank said was not a long-term one, with his contract in its final 10 months. The 29-year-old Mali international has been linked with a move to Turkey and their transfer window does not close until September 12.

Dane Scarlett has thus far been unable to find a move despite being left behind from the summer tour in order to do so. Some other windows remain open, such as the Eredivisie one for another 24 hours, and the Belgian and Swiss ones until next Monday, but if the 21-year-old cannot find a move then he will remain around the squad and can be involved in the European squad due to being homegrown.

Randal Kolo Muani will bid farewell to Paris Saint-Germain on Monday ahead of his loan move to Tottenham. Seeming like he would sign for Juventus on a permanent deal this summer after finishing the 2024/25 campaign on loan with the Bianconeri, the 26-year-old will instead be playing his football for Spurs following a late transfer move after the Italian club elected to switch their attention to the capture of Lois Openda.

Kolo Muani will now sign a season-long loan deal in N17. The agreement between Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain does not contain an option or obligation to buy the attacker next summer.

The France international helps Thomas Frank out when it comes to his attacking options as he can either play up front or from either wing. Despite making the temporary move from the Ligue 1 side, Kolo Muani will in fact be back in Paris come November to play for his new side in the Champions League, providing of course that he is named in Tottenham's 25-man squad.

In last Thursday's league phase draw in Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain were drawn as one of Tottenham's eight opponents. The game at Parc des Princes will take place at 8pm on Wednesday, November 26.

Luis Enrique's side now face the nightmare scenario where Kolo Muani plays against them in the league phase and delivers them a blow in the process. When it comes to UEFA regulations regarding loan players playing against their parent club, there is no rule which stipulates that they are not allowed to play.

UEFA rules state clubs cannot apply "any influence whatsoever over the players that another club may (or may not) field in a match". This means Kolo Muani can play for Tottenham against Paris Saint-Germain in November.

In last season's edition of the Champions League, the eventual winners did in fact come up against one of their own players as a result of Marco Asensio's loan move to Aston Villa. The Spaniard was a substitute in both legs of their quarter-final tie but he did come on for a decent amount of time in each game.

Speaking ahead of the European showdown, Enrique stated he was "delighted" his own player could play against Paris Saint-Germain. "I'm delighted that he can play, it doesn't bother me at all," he said at the time.

"He didn't get the playing time he wanted here, he had this option to be able to go to Aston Villa. We shared a lot of things in the national team, he's a very important player for me and of a very high level."

Other notable examples of players who have faced their parent club in the Champions League include Philippe Coutinho scoring twice for Bayern Munich against Barcelona in the 2019/20 season and Thibaut Courtois helping Atletico Madrid knock Chelsea out at the semi-final stage in 2013/14.

As well as facing Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League league phase, Spurs will also play Villarreal, Bodo/Glimt, AS Monaco, FC Copenhagen, Slavia Prague, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.

It is going to be second time lucky for Tottenham when it comes to signing Randal Kolo Muani. Interested in luring the PSG ace to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the turn of the year, Spurs unfortunately lost out to Juventus back in January.

Looking on course to complete a permanent move to the Bianconeri at some point across the summer, the attacker will now be playing his football away from Turin in the 2025/26 campaign after a transfer twist in the last few hours of the summer market. The Italian giants are now set to complete a deal for RB Leipzig ace Lois Openda, thus allowing Spurs to come back in and strike a loan agreement with no option or obligation to buy for Kolo Muani ahead of Monday's 7pm deadline.

Tottenham are attempting to strengthen Thomas Frank's squad and the addition of the Bondy-born player will do exactly that. The Lilywhites are in need of a player who can play on the wing following Son Heung-min's departure to LAFC last month.

Frank was asked after Saturday's defeat to Bournemouth if he would consider signing a new striker amid Dominic Solanke's injury but he made his thoughts perfectly clear on the situation. "No. I would say not particularly," he replied.

"To have the three strikers in the squad can also cause a problem as you can only play one at a time. It’s a fine balance. I’m not saying we will never go for another striker at another time but I’m happy with Dom and Richarlison."

The addition of Kolo Muani will give Frank extra cover up front but also in the wide areas. So what exactly could his dream attack look like once the French international signs on the dotted line? football.london takes a look.

Tottenham already have a new-look attack for the 2025/26 campaign with Mohammed Kudus joining from West Ham and catching the eye on the right flank. Spurs do in fact take on the Hammers in their first game back after the international break and the showdown in east London may see Xavi Simons make his Tottenham bow after completing a £51.8million transfer to the club on Friday.

The Netherlands international does give Frank choice as he can play as an attacking midfielder or on either wing, with the majority of his appearances in senior football so far coming from the left wing. When it comes to Kolo Muani, he is mainly utilised up front but, just like Simons, he has experience of playing on either wing.

In his 22 appearances on the right, the 26-year-old has five goals and four assists to his name. On the left, he has five goals and one assist in 12 outings.

Kolo Muani is right-footed and playing on Tottenham's left could work well for him considering he would be able to cut inside on to his natural foot. One option for Frank would be to play Kudus on the right, Simons at No.10 and Kolo Muani on the left in a very attack-minded three behind Richarlison.

However, the other two options would be to either see Kolo Muani and Kudus trade wings or alternatively switch the trio about altogether. In this instance, Kolo Muani could play on the right as that's the wing where he has played the majority of his football when shunted out wide, Kudus could then play centrally as he has lot of experience there and Simons moves across to the left.

There is of course the option to also play Richarlison from the left and put Kolo Muani in his natural position up front. As the players in question are extremely flexible it does Frank the opportunity to switch things up during a game, which will no doubt prove extremely valuable throughout the season.

Transfer deadline day is upon us and Tottenham could be busy in the remaining hours of the summer window.

Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons and Joao Palhinha have already been added to Thomas Frank's senior squad and there may well be more additions before the window slams shut at 7pm. It's believed Spurs do want to add another centre-back to their ranks, especially after Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were plagued by injury last season.

The club also want to sign another winger having not yet replaced Son Heung-min, who made the move to the MLS last month. Randal Kolo Muani and Ademola Lookman have been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it will be interesting to see if either end up joining the Lilywhites.

Elsewhere, it could be busy on the outgoings front, too. Bryan Gil and Yves Bissouma could depart permanently due to their contracts expiring next summer, while Manor Solomon and Dane Scarlett could also exit but more than likely on loan.

Tottenham Hotspur could follow their £51.8million acquisition of Xavi Simons with an audacious deadline day swoop for Manchester City winger Savinho.

If Thomas Frank's side were to pursue their interest in the Brazilian, they would have the ideal shirt number waiting for him. The north Londoners have been linked with the 21-year-old, who was sidelined during City's 2-1 defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion and their recent 2-0 loss to Tottenham at home.

Recent reports claimed the winger is concerned his move to Tottenham might fall through, leaving him battling for a spot at City alongside Jeremy Doku, Bernardo Silva, Oscar Bobb, Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush. Spurs were reportedly prepared to make a £65m bid for the versatile winger, but with Cherki out for at least two months according to Pep Guardiola, a move could prove challenging.

However, if Tottenham managed to secure this remarkable transfer, they could provide Savinho with the perfect welcome gift. Should he make the switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he could don the No. 26 shirt he wore at City.

Had the deal been finalised a fortnight earlier, Spurs could have offered him the No. 7 shirt, a number he briefly sported during his time at PSV Eindhoven U21s. However, Simons was handed the No. 7 when he was officially presented at the beginning of last week.

Squad numbers might be the least of the winger's concerns as his hopes of securing a switch to north London appear to be hanging by a thread. TBR Football reported Savinho was keen on a move to north London, with discussions between the two clubs initially appearing encouraging.

It has also been suggested any potential deal was dependent on City bringing in Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, who has found himself out of favour under Xabi Alonso at the Bernabeu. With no transfer between City and the Spanish giants seemingly materialising, Savinho could be forced to remain at the Etihad.

Last week, ESPN reported City have told Tottenham that Savinho, who is yet to appear in the new Premier League season following a pre-season knock, is not available for purchase.

This stance may have been strengthened by the injury blow to summer acquisition Cherki. Speaking in his post-match press conference following the loss to Brighton, Guardiola revealed the Frenchman faces approximately two months on the side-lines with a torn left quadricep.

He has already been substituted by in-form Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike in the French national team squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Iceland.

When questioned whether City's loss to the Seagulls or Cherki's injury might prompt a last-minute scramble on transfer deadline day, Guardiola simply responded: "No."

The loss left City languishing in 13th place, following a 2-0 defeat at home to Tottenham in their previous match. On the other hand, Frank's team failed to build on their impressive performance against Guardiola's side last week, suffering a disappointing home defeat to Bournemouth.

Despite dominating possession, Spurs were fortunate the final score-line was only 1-0, as Bournemouth launched 20 attempts on goal, resulting in Guglielmo Vicario making save after save.

Arsenal are working on signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie, who has previously drawn comparisons to Tottenham Hotspur's defender Cristian Romero. After four years at Leverkusen, Hincapie is set to be Arsenal's eighth summer signing.

football.london understands that the Gunners have agreed an initial loan arrangement with an option to buy for £45million, despite the 23-year-old's release clause being set at £50m. He is seen as Arsenal's successor for Jakub Kiwior, who is set to leave for Porto.

Hincapie has previously confessed that his brother likened him to Spurs defender Romero, although the Ecuador international has aimed to emulate other top stars in his game. Here is a closer look at Hincapie's career so far.

Early years and move to Bayer Leverkusen

Hincapie left home to chase his football dreams as a 10-year-old, attending his club CS Norte America's boarding school in Guayaquil. He later joined Independiente del Valle, where he clinched the U20 Copa Libertadores and made three first-team appearances before securing a move to Argentinian club Talleres.

During his year in Argentina, he played 22 times for Talleres. Hincapie later made his debut for Ecuador during the 2021 Copa America, where his performances caught the eye of Leverkusen.

Hincapie, who can play as a centre-back or left-back, has clocked up 166 appearances for the German side. He featured in 26 league matches during Leverkusen's historic first Bundesliga title win in 2024 and played a key role in their DFB-Pokal triumph and journey to the Europa League final.

Comparisons with Cristian Romero and role models

It's not hard to see why Hincapie's brother likened him to Spurs defender Romero, who is known for his fiery temperament and occasional reckless challenges. Since his move to Germany four years ago, Hincapie has been suspended 10 times, amassing nine yellow cards and one red card over 45 games last season.

Romero was once labelled "absolutely mad" by Gary Neville following a rash challenge on Callum Wilson in December 2023. "He's mad, him, honestly," Neville said on Sky Sports.

"Absolutely mad. I think it's a red card at first look. He's crazy, Romero. He always has to tackle. Slowing players down doesn't come into his head."

However, Hincapie looked up to two other footballers during his formative years in Ecuador. He spent time studying footage of Real Madrid stalwart Sergio Ramos and Barcelona legend Carles Puyol.

"I watched the videos so I wouldn't get bored on the bus, and that's when I realised that I really liked Puyol," Hincapie shared with Scouted Football, as reported by Bundesliga.com. "He had a special way of playing, perhaps less technical than Ramos, but he was a leader and captain. One of the best centre-backs I've ever seen."

Piero Hincapie's family values

Hincapie has emphasised his family's crucial role in guiding him through his career, leaving Ecuador for Argentina and then moving to Europe. After signing for Leverkusen amid interest from several clubs, his eldest brother accompanied him to Germany.

"I had different offers from Europe and I considered them all carefully. I spoke to my family, to myself, to God – and I opted for Bayer 04," Hincapie told Leverkusen's club website. "I have great respect for the country and the language and my family had always emphasised that a lot of Latinos play here – and some of them for many years. That was an important reason. Because if they stay here for a long time then they must feel at home."

The defender has previously expressed gratitude towards his parents for the upbringing he and his siblings received. However, Hincapie quickly acknowledged the financial responsibility that comes with being a top-flight footballer.

"I'm suddenly earning much more money for our circumstances," Hincapie admitted. "That's not so important to me because I just want to play football. But now I have the chance to help my family.

"Of course, I allow myself something as well but the most important thing for me is to be able to give something back to my parents and everybody else and that I can ensure that they have a comfortable life. My nanna's income isn't enough to live on. When everybody is looked after then I can also allow myself a couple of expensive things."

Tottenham will once again be working right up until this evening's 7pm deadline to get transfer deals over the line for Thomas Frank. As has been the case in years gone by, Johan Lange and Spurs still need to sanction incomings and outgoings in the final few hours to finalise their squad for the 2025/26 season.

Tottenham have been active in the transfer market this summer, notably completing the permanent signings of Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons as well as a loan deal for Joao Palhinha. A couple more deals are needed to give Frank the perfect squad to compete on four fronts as Tottenham look to challenge for silverware once again.

So, ahead of Monday's transfer deadline, what would be the best case scenario for Tottenham in the summer market and what would be the worst case scenario? football.london takes a look below.

Best case scenario

The best case scenario is that Tottenham get all the deals they want over the line. In terms of incomings, a new winger is required as the club have still to replace Son Heung-min.

A move for Savinho doesn't look like it will now come to fruition as the Manchester Evening News last week reported that Manchester City have ruled out selling the Brazilian international. Atalanta's Ademola Lookman has been linked with a late move to Tottenham as the attacker aims to secure a transfer away from the Italian club before the deadline.

Spurs certainly won't have it all their own way in a potential deal for the ex-Everton man as Bayern Munich have also been mentioned regarding a loan switch to the Allianz Arena. Tottenham will have to get one over the Bundesliga giants if they are to try and secure a deal for the Nigeria international.

A new centre-back is also required as Frank wants another senior figure to add to his options. Manuel Akanji was last week linked with a Tottenham move amid a possible Manchester City exit.

The experienced centre-back would undoubtedly be an excellent option for Spurs but the lack of guaranteed first-team football could be a turn off for Akanji. Finally in terms of incomings, Randal Kolo Muani has found himself in the headlines regarding another late move to Tottenham after they previously missed out on him back in January.

The Frenchman's permanent move to Juventus from PSG now appears to be off with Lois Openda instead heading for the Bianconeri. Speaking after Saturday's defeat against Bournemouth, Frank stated that he would not particularly consider signing another striker despite Dominic Solanke's absence through injury as he is happy with the England international and Richarlison as his options.

Kolo Muani does provide versatility, though, as he can also operate on either wing if required. He would be another excellent signing if Tottenham launched a late move and were successful.

Tottenham also have a lot of work to do when it comes to outgoings. Firstly, Bryan Gil and Yves Bissouma require permanent moves away due to their contract status in N17.

Both are out of contract next summer and Spurs don't want to find themselves in a position where they are still with the club beyond the deadline and their transfer values decrease as a result. Spurs really could do with moving both on permanently over the next few hours.

Manor Solomon could potentially have a new club come 7pm as he finds himself down the pecking order at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs' troubles with non-homegrown numbers mean some players will need to be left out of their European squad as a result, with Solomon one of those at risk.

A move, whether that be permanent or on loan, is maybe the best option for all parties as his chances at Tottenham will only be limited even further if a new winger comes in. Finally, Dane Scarlett desperately needs a loan move elsewhere after failing to secure one so far this summer.

It is no good for the academy graduate to be watching on from the stands and he needs a temporary switch for the sake of his career.

Worst case scenario

The worst case scenario is that Tottenham leave themselves with too much to do in what remains of the transfer window and they subsequently don't tick off the items at the top of their to-do list. Tottenham have to bring in a new winger because if not it would be a huge failure on their part, especially as Son's exit was confirmed one month ago.

Tottenham do have options out wide but it's clear to see that they do need that replacement for Son as they look to compete for major honours. Spurs also require a centre-back as they do not want to be left too short in the position given Frank does like to switch to a back three at times.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven's time in the treatment room last season will be at the back of their minds and it may also take Radu Dragusin a decent period of time to rediscover his form once he is back from the ACL injury he sustained in January. Spurs are already one short at centre-back after giving Luka Vuskovic the green light to depart on loan to Hamburg last week.

Tottenham probably could get away without signing a new striker but that would leave them running the risk when it comes to Solanke's current issue and Richarlison's injury history. Spurs really can't afford for Gil and Bissouma to not get their moves as that will leave them in a position in January where they may only be able to bring in very little money for the duo.

The same may also apply to Solomon if he is to stay and not feature much in the first half of the season as his transfer valuation may drop as a result when it's at its highest right now due to his success at Leeds United last term. Scarlett then staying and providing cover for Solanke and Richarlison would not be the worst thing in the world for Tottenham.

However, this is the season where the 21-year-old needs to be playing week in, week out as it is very much make or break for him at Tottenham given his age.

Transfer deadline day is finally here. It has been a very interesting summer window for Tottenham Hotspur with plenty of frustration and also a couple of wins in the transfer market.

Heading into the final day of the window, Spurs have so far turned Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel's loan deals into permanent moves, Luka Vuskovic finally made the switch from Hajduk Split, Joao Palhinha joined on loan from Bayern Munich and Kota Takai, Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons secured permanent moves to N17. Johan Lange still has plenty of work to do on deadline day, with the window closing for business until January at 7pm this evening.

As important as incomings are to bolster Thomas Frank's numbers, outgoings are also needed as part of a squad refresh for the 2025/26 season. So what deals could Tottenham look to complete in the last few hours of transfer deadline day? football.london takes a look below.

New winger

Tottenham have yet to bring in a new winger to take Son Heung-min's place in the squad and that needs to happen on deadline day. Manchester City ace Savinho was heavily linked with a move to Spurs but it would appear that he will be remaining at the Etihad Stadium.

The Manchester Evening News reported on Thursday that City have ruled out selling the Brazilian. Ademola Lookman of Atalanta has been mentioned in regards to a late switch to Tottenham as he looks to depart the Italian side before this evening's cut-off point.

Bayern Munich are also keen on the 27-year-old, with a possible loan deal mooted, and Spurs will have to get one over their German counterparts if they are to secure the signing of the former Premier League winger.

New centre-back

Tottenham also require a new centre-back before 7pm, although a new winger features higher up on the priority list right now. It is still a position Spurs have to try and strengthen, however.

Frank wants cover at centre-back due to the amount of games Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven missed last season, with Radu Dragusin still in the treatment room prior to his return to training very soon. The loan departure of Vuskovic to Hamburg has reduced Tottenham's options even further in the position.

Manchester City's Manuel Akanji has been linked with a move to Tottenham in recent days.

Dane Scarlett

Dane Scarlett will be hoping to get his loan move away from the club in the final few hours of the transfer window. The striker was left out of Tottenham's pre-season tour squad to explore a loan deal but a move hasn't quite happened for him yet.

He needs to be playing every week and the hope will be that the academy graduate can secure a switch elsewhere before time runs out.

Bryan Gil

Bryan Gil clearly does not have a future at Tottenham having missed out on a squad number for the new season. The Spaniard is currently working his way back to fitness from a knee injury and that could potentially impact a possible move given it's not clear yet when he will be fit to return to the pitch.

Tottenham really cannot afford for that to be the case due to his contract status.

Yves Bissouma

Yves Bissouma will feature in the headlines on deadline day. The Mali international has dropped down the Tottenham midfield pecking order this summer following the arrival of Palhinha and it could result in a late exit.

Like Gil, Bissouma's current contract expires next summer and the club really need to part with him this window to ensure his value does not drop too much. Tottenham were last week in discussions with Galatasaray over a loan deal but the midfielder remains a Spurs player for now.

Manor Solomon

Manor Solomon was in Frank's Tottenham squad for the first time last weekend after a frustrating summer through injury. The winger gave the head coach an extra attacking option but he remained on the bench despite Spurs needing a goal against Bournemouth.

The 26-year-old is going to find regular minutes hard to come by at Tottenham and that could pave the way for a late exit on Monday. Solomon will only drop a place in the pecking order if a new winger comes in.

It has been a roller coaster ride for Thomas Frank in his first two-and-a-half months as Tottenham manager. From not being appointed until the transfer window had opened (briefly), closed again (even more briefly), and opened again (for good), he has had a whirlwind time.

In no specific order, Tottenham have tried to sign Morgan Gibbs-White, lost their first choice attacking midfielder to another long-term injury, been threatened with legal action over transfer activity, agreed to buy Eberechi Eze, beaten Manchester City, missed out on Eze to Arsenal, and lost against Bournemouth. Frank is a measured guy but would be justified in needing a rest already.

He is a coach with serious balance which will help as he prepares the squad for after the international break. Frank's track record is of improving players and working on a tight budget.

Part of the draw to him was seeing what he could do with increased support and better players. Therefore, failing to deliver in key areas in the market will understandably frustrate. For Daniel Levy and Johan Lange, it makes the coming 24-and-a-bit hours very important.

The transfer window shuts at 7pm on Monday. That is the deadline for deals to be done and there is still work to be completed. Here, football.london goes through the remaining business and what could happen.

In

This has been the priority area for Tottenham with Frank gearing up for Champions League football and the start of the Carabao Cup in midweek as well. Depth across the field is needed and Spurs still have gaps.

Notably, they found themselves short in attacking midfield, where James Maddison's latest fitness woes left a giant hole. Moves for Gibbs-White and Eze have fallen through with Xavi Simons emerging as a surprise alternative.

His transfer went from nothing to completed within a matter of hours and as a No.10 and left-side option, Simons does fit the bill. Tottenham are also admirers of Manchester City forward Savinho.

He will be able to leave if Rodrygo from Real Madrid (or another suitable replacement) arrives. It is one which has gone quiet, hence the turn to Simons.

Then there is the centre-back situation. Ange Postecoglou was forced to put Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall into his backline at points last season due to injuries. Frank will not be keen to repeat that experiment.

Spurs do have Kevin Danso but he is currently sidelined. Luka Vuskovic is a highly rated youngster, but has gone for a loan toHamburg to aid his development.

Tottenham have previously been in the market for Marc Guehi but he has his eyes set on Liverpool if any move is to happen. Should Spurs fancy a new centre-back then he is one of the options out there, regardless.

With his contract expiring next summer, Palace could be pressured into a cut-price sale. The other long-term player of interest is Trevoh Chalobah.

Chelsea are not pushing to sell him as much as in recent years but given their attempts to meet UEFA's squad balancing rules, making big money back from Chalobah would be valuable. There is nothing to suggest he is on Tottenham's radar right now but if a new centre-back is needed now that Simons is through the door.

Manuel Akanji at Manchester City is another option. He appears set to leave the Etihad Stadium before the window closes and is a readymade Premier League proven player to keep an eye on as the final hours tick by.

Out

This is a much shorter set with Spurs moving on from an enormous group of players in the past few years. This year has been quieter but still saw Son Heung-min exit and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg make his loan (and end of contract) into a permanent switch to Marseille.

Loans for Alejo Veliz, Mikey Moore, Alfie Devine, and Yang Min-hyeok have all been completed as well. Vuskovic, as mentioned, joinrf the loan gang at Hamburg in Germany.

Tottenham still need to find a way to sever ties with Bryan Gil, who remarkably remains on their books. Yves Bissouma is an easier one to get out of the door. He was disciplined by Frank for being late during pre-season (the third such occasion in three years) and looks to be bringing his stay in north London to an end.

Galatasaray had been waiting to take him on, albeit on a loan, but that has hit a dead end. Then there is Manor Solomon, who spent last season at Leeds United. Most of the talk has been around him returning to Elland Road but nothing has been finalised yet.

Leeds are in the market for a new winger and Solomon is a Premier League proven player with experience for Daniel Farke having helped achieve promotion with him. After leaving Leeds, Solomon said: "After nearly a year without football, I couldn't have asked for a better comeback season and a better ending.

"I really don't know what the future holds, but I do know that Leeds United will forever be in my heart. Thank you again, fans, for the unforgettable past few weeks and all your incredible support and love throughout the entire season. We are the champions."

He could go back to Yorkshire and make it three more outgoings to close the chapter for Tottenham's summer. Add in the possibility of maybe a centre-back, there are moving pieces all over and four possible deals left for Lange and Co.
