Ndombele, Aurier and latest striker deadline day updates

Deadline day is heating up and with a good 8-9 hours to go there are sure to be a few twists and turns yet.

Tottenham have already completed the transfer of Barcelona right-back Emerson Royal and they are expected to continue to be busy throughout the day.

Players that could be sold are Tanguy Ndombele and Serge Aurier, however, according to The Athletic’s Tottenham correspondent Jack Pitt-Brooke, neither player is going anywhere today and both players will remain in north London.

Pitt-Brooke also discussed the possibility of a forward coming in after Wolves ended any hope of Tottenham signing their flying winger Adama Traore.

If these tweets by Pitt-Brooke are accurate then it seems that the only business left to be done today is in the midfield area and possibly more reinforcements in the defensive spots, however, with players not leaving then you have to think there is only so much that can be done.

The likes of Houssem Aouar are still a possibility but it may pay to lower expectations of any high profile signings coming through the door today and look out more for fringe players either departing or being brought in.
