Tottenham could yet add another key piece to their attack, keeping an eye out for attractive deals ahead of the 11pm deadline. Here we round up all the latest surrounding both London clubs.

Chelsea striker update

Chelsea are set to miss out on Ivan Toney, but they could see the Victor Osimhen door swing open as a result. That’s because Al Ahli are bidding to sign both players but will ultimately only sign one.

Fabrizio Romano has tweeted: “Ivan Toney’s currently undergoing medical tests approved by Al Ahli in London. Chelsea delegation currently in Napoli as they are still trying to find a way for Victor Osimhen deal to be re-activated. Al Ahli keep planning to sign only ONE between Osimhen and Toney.

Broja ‘interest’

Unwanted Chelsea frontman Armando Broja is reportedly the subject of fresh interest from Ipswich Town ahead of the deadline. Broja’s asking price was reportedly set art £35million, but that price may well have dropped given the proximity to the deadline.

Sky Sports News have reported: “We have just been told that a deal to bring Armando Broja to Ipswich could be back on. That’s despite Ipswich being fully aware after his medical that they could be without him for up to 12 weeks. It looked like that deal was off and he would fail a medical but it could be back on now.”

Postecoglou admission

Tottenham were said to be looking for a bargain on deadline day but Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has admitted it is unlikely the club will be able to get deals done. He said in his pre-match press conference: “I think so [that Tottenham are done for the window]. Unless something surprising jumps out at us in the last hours, I think that's it for us.

"If nothing else happens then I think it's been another positive window for us. You go into every window and come out in a stronger sense and I certainly feel that. [Our signings] are going to be really good contributors for us."
