Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to bolster their ranks in the upcoming January transfer window. The current World Cup break gives them the chance to evaluate their squad and decide what they need and who they should offload this winter.
Antonio Conte’s side had a busy past summer on the transfer front and brought in a host of new faces. However, they may still feel they are short in certain areas.
The London outfit are currently 4th in the Premier League table behind Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle United. They are three points above 5th place Manchester United and won their last game 4-3 at home to Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to goals from Rodrigo Bentancur (x2), Harry Kane and Ben Davies.
Spurs have been linked with a lot of targets over recent times and here is a look at those who genuinly could join them, and those who probably won’t do....

7. PROBABLY WON’T: Yannick Carrasco

8. PROBABLY WON’T: Anthony Gordon
