Tottenham Hotspur are no strangers to finalising transfer deals on deadline day. On many occasions in the past the club has waited until the last day possible to announce their new signing – just take Rafael van der Vaart as a prime example.
So far this summer Spurs have made two signings; Jack Clarke, who returned to Leeds on a season-long loan, and Tanguy Ndombele for a club record fee of £55million (Guardian). The early signature of Ndombele allowed the French internatinal to be part of the club’s pre-season tour of the Far East.
Spurs have also been linked with Giovani Lo Celso (BBC), Ryan Sessengnon (Telegraph), and even Paulo Dybala from Juventus (Tuttosport).
A deal to sign Dybala would smash their transfer record for the second time this summer, with the Argentine attacker’s value sitting at approximately £80million (The Sun).
However, in just under two weeks’ time on the 8th August at 5pm, the Premier League transfer window closes.
With the transfer window closing shortly, we look at some of the last-minute transfers that Spurs could still look to complete this summer in our opinion.

With Real Betis under pressure to cash-in on Giovani Lo Celso to fund other transfer targets, it seems likely that Spurs will complete the signing of Lo Celso shortly. If so, then a deal for Nicolo Zaniolo would take a major hit.
However, if Tottenham are willing to spend big money on Dybala and Lo Celso, and a Dybala transfer fails, then Zaniolo would not be a bad option.
As for Chiesa, it is highly unlikely that a deal will be completed due to the Italian’s desire to join Juventus.
