Tottenham’s 2023/24 season started strong but has faced challenges due to injuries and player suspensions. The team’s performance has dipped in the Premier League, raising concerns about squad depth. However, the upcoming January transfer window provides an opportunity for new signings to bolster the team.
Micky van de Ven’s injury has exposed Tottenham’s need for defensive reinforcement, with the team currently in discussions with Nice for defender Jean-Clair Todibo. Additionally, Everton’s Ben Godfrey is being considered as a potential target to strengthen the backline.
Yves Bissouma’s suspension and upcoming participation in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, as well as Pape Matar Sarr’s involvement in the tournament, leave Tottenham short on options in central midfield. This has led to an increased reliance on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp, and the potential return of Giovani Lo Celso, pending his recovery from injury. Tottenham may also target another central midfielder to navigate the demanding season ahead.
Tottenham is eyeing 18-year-old Belgian prodigy Arthur Vermeeren, who has garnered interest from Arsenal and Barcelona as well. Additionally, Blackburn Rovers’ youngster Adam Wharton has caught the eye of Tottenham due to his impressive performances in the Championship.
Captain Son Heung-min is set to participate in the Asian Cup, leaving Tottenham without his quality during the tournament. The club is considering adding another goal threat in the wide areas to mitigate his absence. Copenhagen’s Roony Bardghji and former Celtic winger Jota are among the potential targets for this role.
The January transfer window presents an opportunity for Tottenham to address the squad’s needs and strengthen their position in the Premier League. With various targets under consideration, the team is gearing up for an active and potentially transformative transfer window.
