Tottenham started the January 2024 transfer window with a bang, bringing in Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin.

Since then, it's all been a bit quiet for Spurs, but with the window ticking into the last hours, there is hope another deal could happen.

But there could still be a couple of outgoings as well, with Spurs looking to make some room in their squad.

Conor Gallagher

talkSPORT understands that Conor Gallagher's hopes of joining Tottenham this month are fading fast.

Chelsea are more than willing to sell their academy graduate because of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability rules.

But the Blues are looking for £50million, which is way beyond what Tottenham are willing to spend on the England international.

Ange Postecoglou is a huge admirer of Gallagher due to his pressing ability, so it's likely Spurs will return in the summer for the midfielder.

But a January move across London is now all but impossible unless Tottenham decide to eat into their summer budget.

Alejo Veliz

talkSPORT understands that Alejo Veliz is set to join Sevilla on loan until the end of the season.

There is no option or obligation to buy included in the deal, meaning it's a move that makes sense for Spurs and Veliz.

Veliz is a new arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having just joined from Rosario Central for £13m last summer.

He is just returning from a knee injury, and with Timo Werner, Richarlison and Heung-min Son, it's hard to see how he would get much game time in the remainder of the campaign.

Veliz has made eight appearances for Tottenham this year, scoring one goal, but a chance for some regular first-team football should be a good move for the 20-year-old.

Dominic Solanke

Tottenham have been linked with a late move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.

The Sun report Spurs were lining up a £50m bid for the former Liverpool striker.

Solanke has enjoyed a great season for the Cherries, scoring 12 goals this season, but talkSPORT's Alex Crook reports that Bournemouth aren't expecting any offers for the striker.

Tottenham looked and decided it was best to leave any potential deal for Solanke.

Spurs haven't struggled to score goals this season, so you can see why they are happy with their forward options.

But if Solanke keeps up his current form, don't be too surprised to see Tottenham return for the striker later this year.
