It is safe to say that it has been a disappointing transfer window for Spurs so far, with Antonin Kinsky, whom was done in the first few days - the only signing to date. He has been fine, and it was a needed signing, but it is also remarkable that no outfield signings have been made.
The misery was further compounded when Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel turned down a move to N17, after a loan with a 60 million Euros obligation to buy had been agreed between the two sides.
According to TBR Football, Spurs have "wasted no time" (ironic) in moving on, and are looking at four different Premier League players; Tyler Dibling, Alejandro Garnacho, Christopher Nkunku, and James McAtee.
Four different players. With Dibling, you have a very dribbly and creative right winger, whom perhaps is not blessed with loads of pace - similar play style to Dejan Kulusevski. With Garnacho, you have a very direct and quick winger, whom is also very raw. The Argentine international can play on both sides, and does suit the touchline winger role.
Meanwhile, Nkunku can play as a number ten or attacking midfielder. You get the feeling that he would play up front for Spurs, at least until Dominic Solanke is back. Meanwhile, James McAtee is certainly a number ten. He may seem the most uninspiring of the four, but he is a seriously good player.
Perhaps this is a lazy comparison, but it does give you the same vibe as Cole Palmer. A young City player who can't quite break into the first XI, that has shown glimpses off the bench and in cup competitions. Has regular Premier League experience from his loan at Sheffield United last season, where he impressed despite playing in such a poor team.
One of the games he got to start in was actually against Spurs in the Carabao Cup, where he again showed glimpses of what he can do, despite losing the game. Albeit against a lower league opposition, he scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup against Salford last month, before scoring in the Premier League against Ipswich Town off the bench a week later.
The interest in Dibling has been no secret, though that deal could happen in the summer. Nevertheless, Spurs do need signings now too, so let's see what happens with these links. Surely not everyone can reject the club, right?
