Tottenham dealt transfer blow as potential winger transfer ended by injury
Tottenham chase second striker
Tottenham have a lot of work to do between now and the summer, with Antonio Conte keen to shape the squad in his image.
Several players are free to leave. including Japhet Tanganga and Tanguy Ndombele, who was booed off against Morecambe in the FA Cup third round.
Tottenham are looking for a solution to sell or loan out Tanguy Ndombele in January. Rumours about AS Roma but no talks so far as Italian side are working to sign Sergio Oliveira. ⚪️ #THFC
Spurs are also open to discuss swap deals including Ndombele as part of the negotiation.

Additionally, Steven Bergwijn has been put up for sale, with Conte not convinced by the Dutchman since he took over at the club.

As a result, incomings would be needed to retain squad depth at the very least. However, Tottenham have been dealt something of a blow in that department.
Kulusevski set to stay
Now, however, it is looking as though one of those coming through the door will not be Juventus man Dejan Kulusevski.
There were reports that the Lilywhites were keen on a move for the Swedish starlet, but Juventus have since suffered in the wide department.
The highly talented Federico Chiesa has suffered an ACL injury in his left knee, ruling him out for the rest of the season, and leaving Kulusevski as the only recognised wide man at the club.
