Tottenham XI with Dybala, Lo Celso and Sessegnon: How Pochettino's men could line up

Tottenham are looking to pull off a tremendous triple Deadline Day deal with Paulo Dybala, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon all targets.

Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso have been of interest all window but in the last few days attempts to bring the pair to north London have stepped up.

Dybala was a shock target last week only for Juventus to enter negotiations with Manchester United over the striker which would have seen Romelu Lukaku heading the other way.

That move collapsed over wage and agent demands from the Argentine but now Spurs have swooped back in and are hopeful of concluding a deal for around £64 million.

So with all those incomings, Mauricio Pochettino now has the potential headache of fitting them all in.

Sessegnon was originally a left-back, and still does play in defence at times, but is now more of a wide attacking player, while Lo Celso is equally adept at playing in central midfield and slightly further forward.

That is where he could step on Dybala's toes, who is a striker, second striker and attacking midfielder all rolled into one.

This is all with the caveat that Christian Eriksen is likely to leave before the end of the month, with a move to Europe his sole desire after rejecting overtures from United.

Possible Spurs XI [4-2-3-1]: Lloris; Foyth, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sessegnon; Ndombele, Lo Celso; Son, Dybala, Dele; Kane
