Tottenham plot huge double transfer as Ange Postecoglou awaits January signings
Ange Postecoglou is in desperate need of some new Tottenham signings to ease numerous injury problems with the hope of also improving the club's awful run of form. Sunday's 2-1 defeat at home to Leicester means that Spurs have picked up just four points from the last 30 available.
Pressure on Postecoglou's job has subsequently increased significantly but football.london understands that Daniel Levy is currently still sticking by the decision to keep him in charge. Key returns from injury for the likes of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero could help matters, but additions are still needed.
It is understood that Spurs plan to bring in at least one new signing for Postecoglou before the winter window closes. Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani was one name linked to making a loan switch before he opted for Juventus instead.

Spurs have also been credited with an interest in Lille striker Jonathan David, Johnny Cardoso of Real Betis, Ipswich's Liam Delap and Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo. For two targets, that interest has gone further with the Telegraph claiming that talks have been held for both Southampton ace Tyler Dibling and Lille midfielder Angel Gomes.
The latter sees his contract in France expire this summer and therefore he could be signed on a free transfer, but West Ham are also interested. The prospect of a move taking place in the next six days, despite his lack of game time recently, also appears unlikely.
As for Dibling, numerous clubs are showing an interest in the 18-year-old, including Chelsea, Aston Villa, Liverpool and RB Leipzig. He is currently missing with an ankle injury however, and is not expected back until February, which potentially rules out a switch this month.
While it is great to see the Lilywhites planning moves for the summer, Postecoglou needs signings imminently and once again preparation and subsequently execution in a transfer window has been sub-par.
