Eric Dier finds himself in a precarious situation. While Spurs have rejected a loan bid from Burnley, Bayern Munich has shown interest in the English defender as a last-minute option. Dier, whose contract expires next year, is keen on fighting for his place at Spurs but is open to a move if the right opportunity presents itself. The question remains: Will Bayern pull the trigger, or will Dier stay put?

Davinson Sanchez is a man in demand. His agent is currently in London, negotiating a potential move to AS Monaco. PSV Eindhoven is also in the mix, leveraging Sanchez’s familiarity with their current manager, Peter Bosz, from his Ajax days. Rennes is another suitor, but the French club will have to up their bid to meet Spurs’ valuation. The next few hours could see Sanchez heading to either France or the Netherlands.

Japhet Tanganga’s move to Torino fell through, but FC Augsburg has emerged as a strong contender for his signature. Spurs are in advanced talks with the Bundesliga side, discussing both a loan and a permanent deal. Tanganga, who has made 50 appearances for Spurs since his debut in 2019, is eager for regular playing time, making this a crucial decision for his career.

Tanguy Ndombele’s future at Spurs hangs in the balance. Inter Milan has shown interest but has yet to make a formal offer. Ndombele, who hasn’t played for Spurs since January 2022, is open to the move but is also prepared to stay if necessary. With hefty wages and a lack of game time, Spurs are keen to offload him, but will Inter make their move?

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg finds himself at the center of renewed talks between Spurs and Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone views him as the missing piece in his midfield puzzle. With a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy for £40m, this could be one of the blockbuster moves of the window.

Brennan Johnson is arguably the most talked-about player in Spurs’ transfer window saga. With a £50 million price tag, Nottingham Forest is playing hardball. Brentford has also entered the fray, resurrecting talks and adding another layer of complexity. However, Johnson has the full backing of Spurs’ board and head coach Ange Postecoglou, making this a high-stakes game of poker.
Conor Gallagher: The £50 Million Gamble

Conor Gallagher has emerged as a late target for Spurs, especially if they manage to offload Hojbjerg. Chelsea has set a £50 million price tag on the midfielder, who is also on Bayern Munich’s radar. With multiple moving parts, this deal could either materialize as a last-minute shocker or fizzle out.
