Tottenham transfer rumours: Joe Rodon update, Chelsea reveal Antonio Rudiger stance

Tottenham Hotspur have just over a week to go until the end of the domestic transfer window.

It represents the final opportunity for Jose Mourinho's side to conduct business with fellow Premier League clubs and Football League sides until the New Year.

Spurs have until 5pm on Friday, October 16 - the end of the international break - to finalise transfers in and out of the club.

Here are the latest rumours doing the rounds.

Rodon on the radar

Spurs are still keen on signing a new centre-back having struggled to recruit one in the international window.

Jose Mourinho has now turned his attentions to Joe Rodon of Swansea City.

Spurs are said to be weighing up an £18m bid for the defender to bring him to North London.

It's a move supported by former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who told Sky Sports: "They’ve had an outstanding window, Jose has been an easy target for criticism but the squad he has amassed is excellent.

"Gareth Bale is a statement of intent. Hojbjerg, Doherty is a great signing.

"The only criticism I have for Tottenham is they did not sign a centre-back but that might change with Joe Rodon from Swansea – which would complete the window. Without a centre-back, I'll give them 4.5 [out of 5]."

Defender close to new deal

Teenage left-back Dennis Cirkin is set to sign a new long-term deal with the club.

Football Insider report both parties are close to agreeing a new deal for the 18 year old, who only signed his first professional deal last November.

Cirkin is effectively third choice at left-back for Spurs with Ben Davies and new signing Serio Reguilon ahead of him.

The departure of Ryan Sessegnon, however, could see him more involved in the first team as the season goes on.

Chelsea reluctant to sell Rudiger

One player who has been linked with a move to Spurs in recent weeks is Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.

The German international was a name being considered by Mourinho to fill the centre-back void.

However, the Blues are not keen on selling the player to a Premier League rival, according to The Athletic.
