Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a successful transfer window in the summer.
They brought in left-back Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid for £27m and he has proved to be a huge success so far.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg signed from Southampton for £15m and he has given Spurs a solidity in midfield.
And Jose Mourinho's side secured the season-long loan signings of Gareth Bale and Carlos Vinicius, among other deals.
But defeats to Liverpool and Leicester City, and draws against Wolves, and Crystal Palace meant that Spurs were dislodged from the top of the table and now they are down to fifth.
And with the January transfer window upon us, Tottenham may yet try to strengthen their squad as they aim for a title push.
So, here are the latest rumours regarding arrivals, departures, and deals not yet done by Spurs...
Alli decision
Out of favour Spurs midfielder Dele Alli has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.
That move has gathered momentum with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino becoming the manager of the French side earlier this month.
The 24-year-old was left of Spurs' matchday squad to face Sheffield United, with on-loan Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes, who has struggled to make an impact since arriving a year ago, preferred to Alli.
Now The Mirror claims PSG expect a decision this week on their bid to sign the England star.
Spurs are reportedly refusing to sanction the loan move amid fears that could leave the team short on numbers.
Alli is said to be keen on the move to get game time and to boost his chances of making England's squad for the delayed Euro 2020 finals.
Eriksen 'desperate' for return
An exit for Alli could hinge on the future of former Spurs star Christian Eriksen, who is reportedly "desperate" for a loan move back to North London.
The Danish midfielder's move to Inter Milan has not gone to plan so far since his £16.9m move to the Italian giants in January 2020.
The 28-year-old has often been an unused substitute for Inter this term.
However, the Italians now reportedly want £27m for Eriksen who is understood to be on £120,000 a week.
His agent is working on a deal to bring the Inter Milan midfielder back to England, according to Inter CEO Guiseppe Marotta.
Sanchez praise
Ex-Spurs midfielder Michael Brown says centre-back Davinson Sanchez has earned his right to prove his worth at the club.
The 24-year-old, a £42m signing in 2017, has found first-team appearances harder to come by this season.
Sanchez was not in Spurs' squad for nearly two months between late-October and December.
He was also criticised after an error which led to Ivan Cavaleiro’s goal against Fulham on Wednesday in the 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The club have been linked with a move for South Korean centre-back Kim Min-Jae as well.
But Brown has backed Sanchez to come good.
He told Football Insider: "It was some header from Cavaleiro to direct it like that from a deep cross. It was only one chance that he gave away.
“I just think they are an improving Spurs side, they are tighter at the back. So it’s a work in progress.
“I think Sanchez deserves time to show he can do. Do they need a new centre-back this month? Only if one goes.”
Lingard interest
According to ESPN, Spurs are interested in signing Manchester United playmaker Jesse Lingard.
The report claims the 28-year-old is "desperate" to find regular first-team football, as he has made only three appearances so far this season.
The Red Devils have exercised a one-year extension in Lingard's contract that will keep him at the club until 2022.
But that hasn't stopped clubs such as Spurs, West Ham, Sheffield United, Marseille, FC Porto, and Inter Milan, among others, registering an interest in him.
Lingard worked under Jose Mourinho at United, scoring 20 goals and 11 assists in 107 games under him.
Perhaps that relationship was strong enough for Mourinho to pursue a reunion.
