The Times have reported that Tottenham Hotspur want to make three new additions in the January transfer window, with a focus on a central defender, midfielder and another attacker.
While Tottenham are guaranteed to be in the top four come the World Cup break, Antonio Conte has struggled with depth at times this season, particularly across the front line.
However, The Times claim that Conte does not want numbers for the sake of numbers, and Spurs will instead prioritise quality over quantity in the winter window. Conte is said to want players who can walk into the starting XI, rather than strengthen the squad.
Weston McKennie, Alessandro Bastoni, Mohamed Simakan, and Anthony Gordon are all mentioned in the report as players Spurs and Conte are keen on.
Finally, the Times add that three new signings would allow fringe players like Djed Spence, Bryan Gil, and Japhet Tanganga to leave on loan for regular minutes.
Spurs Web Opinion:
It sounds like a successful January window will be for Tottenham to replace Gil, Tanganga, and Spence with one midfielder, one defender, and one attacker of greater quality who Conte can count on from day one. That sounds like a good plan to me.
