Firstly, it has been widely reported that the centre-back position is one of the main priorities for Spurs director of football, Johan Lange this January.

Fabrizio Romano has tweeted today, ‘Tottenham Hotspur have now opened talks to sign Jean-Clair Todibo in January. He’s high on Tottenham’s list, not easy deal with OGC Nice, but talks are now starting. Spurs spoke also to player’s camp in the recent days to present the club’s project to them.’

Tom Bradley has report that talks have already begun between Tottenham Hotspur and Nice over the possible signing of in-demand central defender Jean-Clair Todibo, who is valued in the £30M-plus bracket.

Regarding the striker situation, 90min have reported today that Tottenham Hotspur have held talks with intermediaries regarding a deal to sign FC Copenhagen forward Roony Bardghji.

FC Copenhagen are prepared to sanction his sale next month, but would like an agreement which would see him remain at the club until the end of the season.

Another priority for Tottenham next month is centre-midfield with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg rumoured with a potential exit in January. Sources say Chelsea are prepared to listen to bids for reported Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Conor Gallagher next month.

Chelsea are understood to open to evaluating offers in the sum in excess of £40M. According to The Athletic.
