Tottenham sign £37m winger with four more arrivals as £60m man joins Newcastle United - AI predicts January transfer window

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has been vocal in saying that he wants to strengthen his squad over the next few transfer windows. Spurs are looking to establish themselves a regular in the Champions League, something that they are yet to do under the Australian manager.

During the summer transfer window, they made five signings, including a blockbuster move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke for whom they paid over £50m. He has since made 13 league appearances, scoring five goals and two assists. Spurs could do with strengthening in several areas, including defensive depth and more attacking quality in order to keep up with rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, who have become title contenders.

We asked Chat GPT and Google Gemini to predict what they think will happen to Spurs in the January window, here’s what they said...

Tottenham potential January outgoings

The prediction led to two outgoings in the January window with one loan move and a sale to a fellow Premier League club.

Djed Spence - Championship (Loan move)

AI suggested that defender Djed Spence could leave for a top Championship club such as Sheffield United or Sunderland on a loan move for the remainder of the season.

The 24-year-old signed from Middlesbrough in 2022, but has since struggled to get regular game time under Postecoglou. He did recently start for Spurs in their 5-0 win over Southampton due to their injury struggles in defence. However, a short loan move for the rest of the season could help Spence gain more experience ahead of a potential breakthrough into the Spurs starting XI next season.

Richarlison - Newcastle United - £37m

The Brazil international has made just five Premier League appearances this season. He has struggled for both form and injury problems. It could mean that Spurs may be in line to add another striker, as Richarlison’s departure would leave them with just Solanke up top. They signed him for £60m from Everton two years ago.

Tottenham’s potential January signings

According to AI, Spurs are set for quite a busy January transfer window as they look to strengthen in several key areas.

Tijjani Reijnders, AC Milan - £20.5m

Their first signing comes in the form of AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. The Dutchman moved to the Serie A from Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar in 2023 for a fee of £16.8m. This season, he has made 14 Serie A appearances, scoring three goals and three assists. The 26-year-old also has 20 career appearances for the Netherlands National team.

Jonathan David, Lille FC - £41m

The second signing follows the Richarlison sale, as AI predicted that Spurs would add in-demand striker David in January. The Canadian has scored 11 goals in 15 Ligue 1 matches so far this season. David has been subject to transfer interest from Tottenham who are hoping to beat rivals Arsenal and Manchester United to sign him. All three clubs have reported interest in January, meaning David could be a realistic prospect for Postecoglou this season.

Gleison Bremer, Juventus - £29m

The next signing that AI predicted was former Liverpool transfer target defender Gleison Bremer who signed a new contract at Juventus during the summer transfer window. The £29m fee seems a comparative bargain considering that the Old Lady signed Bremer for £40m from Torino in July 2022. He has since made 91 appearances for Juventus. It could be likely that Spurs look to sign a centre-back due to the recent injury problems for both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero which has forced Postecoglou to play 18-year-old midfielder Archie Gray at the position.

Kaoru Mitoma, Brighton - £37m

Another big-name signing coming to North London, AI predicted that Spurs will sign Brighton star winger Kaoru Mitoma who has impressed over several years at the Amex Stadium. The 27-year-old has not been strongly linked with any sort of departure, which is a surprise considering the fact that he has scored 16 goals and 15 assists since joining the Seagulls in 2022. According to TransferMarkt, Mitoma’s market value sits at the £37m mark. If Spurs would want to sign him, they may have to dip into their pockets a bit further to persuade Brighton to sell.

Jere Uronen, Charlotte FC - £12m

Finally, AI predicted Tottenham to sign left-back Jere Uronen from MLS side Charlotte FC as a depth piece in Postecoglou’s defence. They have been struggling for squad depth this season, specifically at full-back and centre-back due to several injury issues throughout the year. Uronen made 26 appearances for Charlotte last season after moving from Champions League side Stade Brest in the summer transfer window.
