Tottenham ‘preparing’ striker ‘proposal’, Aston Villa ‘interested’ in late West Ham swoop

Tottenham Hotspur ome up against West Ham on Wednesday evening

The two sides have recorded vastly differing starts to the new season, and currently sit at opposite ends of the table.

Spurs remain unbeaten in the Premier League, having win three of their first four matches, and currently sit third in the table with 10 points.

For their part, a 1-0 win over Aston Villa at the weekend represented West Ham’s first points of the campaign after having lost their opening three matches.

After Wednesday’s clash, Tottenham face a visit from Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

But between now and then, there is the small matter of transfer deadline day to contend with.

How are Spurs shaping up in that regard?
