Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing to make two late additions to their squad as the January transfer window edges closer to its conclusion.

This follows an indirect plea from manager Ange Postecoglou, who is currently grappling with a crippling injury crisis that has left the team in a precarious position in the Premier League, where they sit 15th.

Tottenham eyeing late double signing

With 10 first-team players sidelined, Spurs are navigating a challenging period. According to Football Insider, the club is actively pursuing two more signings to strengthen the squad and provide much-needed depth during this demanding campaign.

The report claims that the North London club wants to complete two more signings in the last two weeks of the transfer window.

The club has already taken steps to address one critical area, signing Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky for £12.5 million at the start of January. This move comes as a response to the unavailability of both first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario and his backup Fraser Forster, who are sidelined with injuries. Kinsky’s arrival offers some respite in goal, but Tottenham’s problems extend far beyond this position.

However, the injury woes extend far beyond the goalkeeping position. Defensively, Spurs are severely impacted, with key players like Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie unavailable, leaving the backline thin and vulnerable. The midfield is similarly weakened, as Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are both out, limiting the team’s ability to control games.

In attack, the situation is equally dire, with injuries to Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, and Wilson Odobert. Odobert, in particular, has been sidelined since October due to a long-term hamstring issue, further depleting Tottenham’s options upfront.

Despite their Premier League struggles, Spurs have shown glimpses of promise in other competitions. They currently sit ninth in the Europa League standings, well-positioned to progress to the next stage. Domestically, they hold a 1-0 lead over Liverpool after the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final and have advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Ange Postecoglou desperately needs reinforcements to navigate the remainder of the campaign. The club continue to be linked with several players but there is yet to be any concrete move since their failed attempt to sign Randal Kolo Muani.
