Tottenham Hotspur have bolstered their squad with the arrival of Conor Gallagher this month, but then suffered a setback in their pursuit of Andy Robertson. Thomas Frank's side were pushing for further experience in the ranks and had even entered preliminary talks with the Liverpool defender, but the Premier League champions pulled the plug on an exit - after their defensive options depleted further.
Cristian Romero was the Tottenham saviour on Saturday to deny struggling Burnley a shock win in a 2-2 draw. The pressure is mounting on Danish head coach, Frank, with the north London club languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Focus now turns to the Champions League this week with Spurs sitting in the top-eight spots, and eyeing an automatic place in the round of 16, while they face Eintracht Frankfurt in their final league phase encounter. The transfer window slams shut on Monday (February 2) leaving Spurs with limited time to refresh their squad for a crucial second half of the campaign. With that, Express Sport looks at the latest transfer transfer rumours from north London.
Arne Slot reveals Andy Robertson transfer latestLiverpool head coach Arne Slot expects Andy Robertson to stay despite talks with Tottenham Hotspur. The Scotland international faced a would-be exit from Merseyside after Spurs looked to bring forward their interest for the full-back as his future looked uncertain with his deal up this summer.
Preliminary talks were entered, but further injury problems at Anfield led to Liverpool pulling the plug on a move that would see their experienced full-back leave for a nominal fee this summer. Robertson had expressed his desire to stay, revealing talks over a possible extension, but was forced to concede that he may leave in search for first-team minutes.
There were reports that Robertson's switch to the capital could still be possible if Kostas Tsimikas returned from his loan spell. However, Slot now expects Robertson to stay. He said: "Robbo is part of the team tomorrow evening and he has been apart of this squad for many years.
"Happy to have him, it's good that he's available because that's quite important for us at the moment, to have players available. Nothing happened my side. It's hard to say anything definite with the world we live in [whether he stays this month] but I expect him to say, yes."
Tottenham 'target' Bayern Munich midfielder According to reports in Italy, Tottenham are exploring a deal to sign Bayern Munich veteran Leon Goretzka. Calciomercato's Daniele Longo has claimed that Frank's side have moved to sign the 30-year-old in their efforts to add experience in the squad.
Goretzka is out of contract in Bavaria this summer and faces an uncertain future - despite playing in all-but one of their opening 19 Bundesliga games this term. The report adds that a move isn't going to be easy for Spurs, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid interested, while AC Milan are an option, too.
It has been claimed that the Milan giants made contact with the Germany international's representatives and sparked talks some weeks ago. Sporting director Igli Tare is reportedly an admirer of the midfielder and is looking to replicate a similar move that he made for Spurs icon, Luke Modric, after he ended his trophy-laden chapter with Real Madrid before moving to the Serie A side.
Juventus eye shock move for Spurs forward Juventus could make a late move for Randal Kolo Muani, according to Alfredo Pedulla. Tottenham are reportedly open to letting the 27-year-old leave the club, despite being in the first six months of his season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Serie A club are said to be open to a sensational move for the Frenchman, after their efforts to sign Youssef En-Nesyri hit a road block. The report adds that any deal between Juventus and PSG would be complex as Juve look to acquire Kolo Muani on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy - triggered if they qualify for the Champions League, once again.
Kolo Muani has yet to find the back of the net in the Premier League this season after making 15 appearances. His only two goals have come in the Champions League, both of which were scored in their 5-3 win over his parent club, PSG.
