Forget defensive reinforcements until the summer (except RWB which I class as an attacking addition).
Focus on getting a RWB, ST and creative CM this window. Get 2 of the 3 and I would consider that a success.

Traore and a creative CM would be a very good window
A right wing back (not Traore!) and creative central midfielder able to work in Conte's system now and a pre-agreement with a striker (meaning Vlahovic) to arrive in the Summer would be a great window.
I see the RWB as a top priority this winter window as the rest of the defense can until the summer (unless a great opportunity comes along).
I’d let Doherty go, and keep Emerson until the summer (unless an unexpected, crazy bid comes in for him). I know half-a-season is a short time to judge a player but there is “something” about Emerson that makes me sense his style is (much) better suited for the EPL or Seri A or even the Bundesliga.
The present RWB Spurs prospects – i.e., Dermi Lusala, Jubrli Okedina, Marcel Lavenier, Tanganga – are not short-time solutions either: Lusala being only 18 and he’s been injury-prone which has halted his development (as a football player); Okedina is 20 and Lavinier 21, and neither seem to be near the 1st team squad. And Tanganga is not RWB material really (I would keep him as understudy CB).
My first choice is Tino Livramento. English, home-grown, only 19, taken the EPL by storm BUT… Chelski has a £40m buy-back option (with its terms that no one in this forum, including me, seem to know much about). So not very likely he’ll end up at Spurs.
So my second choice would be 1 of these players (all of them coming with their pros and cons that I won’t bother to point out here and now and, of course, subject to scrutiny - like personality traits - that I do not have access to):
Adama Traore
Sergiño Dest
Nordi Mukiele
Tariq Lamptey
Noussair Mazraoui
Ridle Baku
Lukas Klostermann
Joakim Mæhle
As understudy RWB I’d choose 1 of these:
Max Aarons
Jayden Bogle
Festy Ebosele

question is: what system? 352 or 343?
Young French star set to reject Tottenham move due to this one reason
Fabio Paratici set to fail in his attempt to sign Jules Kounde It appears as though the lack of Champions League football is about to hurt Spurs’ transfer plans. According to the Athletic (subscription required) [h/t Express], Jules Kounde has been identified as a priority by Tottenham but he is...
tothelaneandback.com
Loads more articles saying the same thing if you care to Google.
Deal was agreed in principal with Sevilla but the player knocked us back due to lack of CL.
Chelsea interest came late in the window...... IIRC they failed to agree a price with Sevilla.
Pepe? REALLY? LOL
1 out of the 4 I'd give you and he (PEA) was bought at a time when it was still considered an anomaly for Arse not be in the CL.
You're talking about players that had no other suitors at the excessive price Arse were willing to pay..... In fact no other active interest at all in the case of Partey & Pepe.... Neither of whom I'd consider either Elite nor the shelf below..... PEA being 2nd shelf at the time due to age..... Lacazette another on the line between 2nd and 3rd tier who was still playing for a French also-ran at the time despite his advancing age.
Proceeding to chat about scouting has virtually nothing to do with big name and so-called top shelf players so it is what it is.
The fact is playing in the CL still very much matters to the vast majority of top tier players. Esp. if they are already established as a so-called CL player.
Considering the amount of rungs on the proverbial ladder, to say the top 2 tiers aren't typically available to a ECL team isn't a radical (nor risible) statement.
You make it sound like I've claimed we can attract no one of quality..... Far from it.

Thanks for jogging my memory.
Aina caught my eye playing for Fulham and was surprised he did not stay in the division after they got relegated.
I don't think your 'n' is working.......
It's more that Atletico are allowing him to leave because Trippier wants to move back to England as I understand it.
Now that Lloris' contract is running out....I remember Kane's been a deputy goalie ...
Yeah, he's a good player. Only 25 I believe so a long career ahead of him still.
