Time is now starting to run out for Tottenham in the January transfer window. Such a pivotal month for the club following a host of injuries from the end of October onwards, the north London club have only made one signing in the winter market so far after striking a deal with Slavia Prague for Antonin Kinsky.

Ange Postecoglou is in desperate need of more reinforcements to help put an end to Tottenham's current slump that has seen them slip down to 15th in the Premier League table. Amid a lot of speculation regarding the head coach's future following a dire set of results, football.london reported on Monday that for now at least Spurs are sticking with Postecoglou amid the injury crisis his squad is engulfed in and the Australian has the players behind him still.

The club are attempting to sign at least one player for him in the week ahead to add depth to the squad. There are certainly a couple of positions that Tottenham need to address before the 11pm deadline on Monday, February 3, with all fans keeping their fingers crossed that Daniel Levy and Johan Lange will be able to add to Postecoglou's squad over the coming days.

So what transfers could take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before deadline day? football.london takes a look below.

New centre-back

It has been evident for quite some time now that Tottenham require centre-back reinforcements. Spurs have yet to strengthen in defence during the transfer window and now there is less than a week remaining to add to the position.

That area of the pitch still really could do with addressing but it may not be as much of a priority as it was at the start of January as Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are nearing their returns. Regardless of that, Tottenham still require a new centre-back as injuries will very likely strike again in defence going on how the 2024/25 season has panned out so far.

New attacker

A new attacker may now be at the top of Tottenham's priority list heading into the final few days of the window. With Dominic Solanke out for six weeks after injuring his knee in training, there are now question marks over Richarlison's fitness as he left the pitch early in the Leicester defeat with a groin issue.

Richarlison's Spurs career has been extremely stop-start due to various injuries and there is no guarantee he gets through the rest of the campaign completely unscathed. Amid Son Heung-min's struggles when playing through the middle, Spurs cannot chance it and go without a striker in January as they are competing on four fronts and they cannot afford to leave themselves too short with so much at stake.

In an ideal world, an attacker who can operate through the middle and also out wide would suit Tottenham down to the ground.

A transfer for next season

Southampton ace Tyler Dibling has been linked with a move to Tottenham after an excellent breakthrough season in the Premier League. It has been a dismal return to the top flight for Saints but Dibling has been a rare shining light for the south coast club.

The Telegraph have reported that Spurs could look to strike an agreement with Southampton for Dibling to move to N17 at the end of the season if they cannot sign him this month. As important as it is for Tottenham to sign players for the here and now, they may also have one eye on their plans for the 2025/26 campaign.

Scarlett loan exit

One loan exit that could be on the cards is Dane Scarlett heading elsewhere for regular first-team football before deadline day. Starting the campaign with Championship side Oxford, the attacker fared well in his minutes but his playing time was restricted at times, especially following the arrival of Gary Rowett as manager.

Recalled by the north London club just over a week ago, the youngster has not featured in Spurs' matchday squad since returning and another loan move looks to be in the pipeline. Tottenham should certainly have options for the academy graduate after his four goals and one assist during his time with Oxford.
