Tottenham are hoping to sign some top-quality players in the ongoing transfer window.
Tottenham recently signed a new midfielder to address their problems in the middle of the park under Thomas Frank. The Lilywhites managed to land Conor Gallagher on a long-term deal from Atletico Madrid as the club looked to replace Rodrigo Bentancur for the second half of the campaign. The North Londoners moved quickly for his signature after Bentancur suffered a long-term injury earlier this month.
But it appears that Spurs now need more fresh faces in the coming weeks if they are to salvage their season. After a humiliating defeat to West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday, the Lilywhites must bring in further reinforcements as they aim to secure European qualification in the second half of the campaign. Signing another midfielder who could play alongside Conor Gallagher now seems to be a priority.
The Lewis family are also keen on improving the quality of the squad by granting a £150m “war chest” for the ongoing transfer window. Whether Thomas Frank remains at the helm to oversee a transition remains to be seen. But for Spurs, it is essential that they sign a top-quality player who could instantly make an impact at N17 and slot straight into the starting eleven for the remainder of the season.
Tottenham trying to move quick to secure Adam Wharton’s signature
Tottenham’s midfield is clearly missing an elite ball-carrier. The current crop of players have struggled to progress the ball forward from central areas, making it easier for opponents to press high and force mistakes. As a result, it comes as no surprise that the North Londoners have long been keen on securing Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton on a permanent deal in the winter.
It seems as though the Lilywhites could make swift moves to land the England international in the coming weeks for the second half of the campaign. As per Dean Jones (via x),
“Watch out Palace! Spurs have been planning to lead the chase for Adam Wharton. Palace stance is that they don’t plan to allow any more exits for now but I keep hearing this one brought up.”
Spurs are planning to fend off competition for Wharton’s signature and want to lure the England international to N17 by promising him a prominent role in the starting eleven. Crystal Palace are reluctant to part ways with the talented midfielder midway through the season as they aim to finish in the top half of the Premier League table. However, the Eagles could be tempted to cash in on the 21-year-old for the right price, giving the Lilywhites a strong opportunity to test the waters for Wharton’s services.
Signing Wharton appears to be a no-brainer for the North Londoners. He would represent a long-term investment and could form a solid midfield partnership with Conor Gallagher and Joao Palhinha. The England international seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle for Spurs as they look to build on last season’s Europa League success. He is a progressive midfielder who likes to drive the ball forward.
The 21-year-old would instantly slot into the starting eleven at N17, as Spurs are crying out for an elite ball-carrier in their ranks. He regularly plays line-breaking passes and has the ability to influence games at both ends of the pitch, making him a strong option for the second half of the campaign. But Spurs may need to move quickly if they are to land Wharton in the coming weeks, especially with other clubs likely to test the waters for his signature as well.
