The four players Tottenham Hotspur can still sign after transfer deadline day

The transfer window has closed, but that doesn't mean Tottenham Hotspur can't sign anymore players.

It turned out to be a very impressive summer of business for the Lilywhites.

Jack Clarke became their first signing in 500+ days when he joined from Leeds United at the beginning of last month, although fans will have to wait until next season to see him in a Spurs shirt as he has been loaned back to the Championship side.

A few hours later the north London outfit smashed their transfer record with the signing of Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon for £63m.

Then came a quiet period in terms of incomings as well as some exciting rumours up until deadline day.

In the end Spurs concluded their business with the signing of Giovani Lo Celso on a season-long loan from Real Betis and finally secured the addition of Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham.

With that said, could Mauricio Pochettino and Daniel Levy be open to more business in the coming weeks?

If so, the good news is that there are a number of free agents that can still be signed to provide extra quality and depth to a squad hoping to end their trophy drought this season.

And the bonus is they wouldn't cost a single penny.

Football.london takes a look at the  players who could be of interest to Spurs.

Daniel Sturridge

Released by Liverpool at the end of June.

His injury record is probably the main reason no club has opted to snap him up yet, but the talent is there when fully fit.

Spurs were linked with a move for Paulo Dybala right up until the morning of deadline day, so it's clear that Pochettino has been looking to provide cover for Harry Kane.

Fernando Llorente

Speaking of centre-forwards and Kane back-ups, that brings us to the 34-year-old.

Could a return to north London be on the cards for Llorente?

There wasn't a great deal made of his departure when his contract expired on June 30, although his squad number has since been taken by Lo Celso.

Ignazio Abate

One area of the pitch that might still concern Pochettino is at right-back.

Kieran Trippier has gone to Atletico Madrid and a replacement wasn't signed during the summer window, meaning Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters are the two options at the moment.

Juan Foyth can also operate at right-back but is out injured until September.

If Pochettino wants to go down the route of adding more experience to his squad then Abate could be an option following his release from AC Milan.

Although at 32 he probably wouldn't start each week.

Fabio Coentrao

With Danny Rose's future still up in the air after a failed deadline day move to Watford and Ben Davies still recovering from injury, that left-back spot might prove to be an issue.

Coentrao was tipped for big things early on his career but simply didn't manage those expectations and a move to Real Madrid hardly helped.

Although he does have bags of experience and could probably do a good job for a season whilst also helping to develop some younger full-backs at the club.
