Here we round up all the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Tottenham ahead of their return to Champions League action.

It will be interesting to see if Spurs make a move, though, it’s unlikely to be in January, with Brentford not likely to be willing to commission a sale in the winter window. Additionally, the prospect of leaving the Bees to sit on the bench at Spurs may not be particularly enticing for Toney.
Ziyech links
Tottenham could get their hands on Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech.
Amid injuries to Ivan Perisic and Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham could do with another winger, and they have been linked with a move for Ziyech in the past.

Given Ziyech earns a reported £100,000 per week, Spurs could well convince their London rivals, especially if other offers are not forthcoming.
