Spurs Looking To Add Reinforcements In January
Ange Postecoglou will be looking to bring in plenty of news faces this month amid Spurs’ injury crisis.
With first-choice centre-back duo Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven both out, Postecoglou will be desperate for more cover in defence.
Tottenham could also do with more cover in midfield and in attack.
Only seven first-team players trained at Hotspur Way in the build-up to their clash with Newcastle on Saturday amid a sickness bug sweeping the football squad.
