Spurs might add defender or midfielder with Dele likely to go
Spurs' squad is in good shape despite a recent wobble, but that doesn't mean Daniel Levy won't sanction an arrival and a couple of departure

A player Spurs made enquiries over in the summer was Milan Skriniar. Technical performance director Steve Hitchen even flew to Milan to meet with Inter representatives, but a deal could not be struck. Inter’s asking price was too high at the time, and now they are reluctant to sell Skriniar given he is a regular starter. They are keen to trim the wage bill, but it’s players such as Eriksen, Radja Nainggolan and Ivan Perisic that they are trying to shift.
Spurs have not given up on Skriniar but a deal in January will be difficult, and the summer is thought to be more realistic.
