Antonio Conte’s men face Eintrach Frankfurt in a crucial Champions League clash on Wednesday evening. Meanwhile, Tottenham remain four points behind leaders Arsenal and three behind Manchester City in second.

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

Toney interest

Tottenham are said to be considering a deal for Brentford star Ivan Toney.

Toney has been hugely impressive for the Bees, working his way into the England squad. According to Football Insider, Spurs are continuing to monitor Toney having followed the striker since his Peterborough days.

It’s claimed Fabio Paratici likes the look of Toney, and he could make a move to bring him to north London to supplement Tottenham’s front line amid a reliance on Harry Kane.

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.

According to 90min, Chelsea may now be willing to sell Ziyech, who has seen limited minutes in recent times. It’s claimed Tottenham could take advantage to cover for some of their injury issues, though the Blues are likely to prefer a sale to a non-competitor.

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