Here is your football.london morning digest for Friday, October 29.
Spurs in talks for Tolisso
Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici is reportedly working on a deal to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso.
Patrici was given carte blanche to sanction a number of deals over the summer, including the likes of Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal. However, the success of these signings still remains to be seen.
On the pitch Spurs have flattered to deceive this season, but despite an indifferent run of form they sit just two points off fourth-placed West Ham.
One area in particular that has been slated for improvement is midfield and Tolisso, who is in the final year of his contract with Bayern and could be a natural partner for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
According to Calciomercato [via TeamTalk], Spurs are in talks to sign the 27-year-old amid interest from Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan.
What Nuno must do to find consistency
October has been a better month for Tottenham, however there’s still plenty for Nuno Espirito Santo and his team to work on.
Consistency is going to be key to having a good first season under the Portuguese manager, something which has been lacking in the opening couple of months of the season for a variety of reasons.
So what does Espirito Santo need to do to see Tottenham get back on track, and ease the pressure on his shoulders? football.london takes a look.
The Spurs boss must keep Oliver Skipp in the side, he’s become an integral part of Tottenham’s midfield since returning from last season’s loan spell in the Championship with Norwich.
Harry Kane has suffered this season due to the team's creative issues, and in particular the lack of a top creative player. Once Tottenham solve their problems in the final third, that should hopefully see Kane get back on song.

However, progress on a deal stalled once Chelsea signed Romelu Lukaku.
Meanwhile, Arsenal were also reportedly interested in signing Martinez after questions emerged over the futures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
