Tottenham have made only signing in this transfer window in the form of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky
Tottenham Hotspur have had to deal with an injury crisis this season, which has led to them struggling and sitting 14th in the Premier League table.
The North Londoners have been missing a lot of players for months, including Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert. Although Ange Postecoglou and his players have been trying their best to solider on, results have not been good enough in the Premier League.
They have done well in cup competitions but underwhelming results in the English top flight means there is an absolute necessity of fresh blood in this transfer window. Things must change quickly and a few signings on top of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky could make a massive difference.

Ange Postecoglou admitted that his club missed out on the loan signing of Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani to Juventus on Friday. Although Juventus have beaten Tottenham to Kolo Muani, the Australian tactician’s admission that the club are evaluating the market for several players is an encouraging sign for the White Hart Lane faithful who are keen to see new faces come in at the club this month.
When asked how confident he is about getting in someone in the last couple of weeks of the winter window, Postecoglou stated (h/t Football London):
“As confident as you can be. It is tricky as all clubs are finding. And I guess traditionally it ramps up in that final week so we’re approaching there for all clubs. It’s even trickier in January because one you try to acquire a player, the club wants to replace that player. So, there’s all sorts of logistics involved.”
While Richarlison has returned from his hamstring injury, Spurs cannot rely on the Brazilian and improve their attacking options. They must bring in a new striker as cover for Dominic Solanke, who has played relentlessly since the start of the season.

It would also make sense for the Hotspur Way chiefs to sign a centre-back, owing to their current injury issues and lack of depth. A budgetary centre-back someone like Borussia Monchengladbach’s Ko Itakura, who would cost around £15 million, fits the bill perfectly at Tottenham.
