Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yeah came on trial with us in 2019


great job whoever did the assessment on his trial.
 
Can he play 10 as well? Looks pretty similar in terms of function to Kulusevski. Left-footed but plays mostly off the right.

I guess with Deki looking like his future is more central and GLC likely going, another left footer that dribbles and creates is a good idea.
He can play as a OM, yes, but right now he's mainly used as WRF at FK København. He's still only 18 and not the biggest of guys (173 cm) and he's not yet a regular at København.
 
Is we have a chance to sell Højbjerg now in January, just do it.
That is a mental take seeing we’ll be without pretty much Sarr, Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison for most of Jan and Feb. PEH is also basically the only guy who seems to get a bit of interest too. That would leave us with Skipp, GLC, Deki as our only midfielders for a bit and god forbid something happen to one of them too.

Have to take the money when it is there. Obviously drag it until the end of January.

Maddison is back in January as well, maybe even Bentancur at some point in January
 

Ange Postecoglou‘s side have had a good season so far, but it’s clear as day that they need reinforcements at the back. A new defender is a priority next month, and the latest name to be linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is Buongiorno.

Tottenham have been linked with a move to sign Alessandro Buongiorno
When everybody’s fit, Tottenham have one of the best centre-back pairings in the Premier League thanks to Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.

The Argentine, despite his recklessness every now and then, is a fantastic defender. He has been excellent for Spurs since he joined them and is one of the first names on the team sheet every week.

Van de Ven only joined Tottenham in the summer, but he became an instant fan favourite. His pace and ability to play out from the back are brilliant, and he has been a real miss since his injury.

Apart from Romero and Van de Ven, Spurs don’t really have a centre-back of a similar level – nobody else is even close. That’s why they are expected to be on the market to sign a new one next month, and Alessandro Buongiorno is the latest name to come out of the rumour mill.

The 24-year-old has been fantastic for Torino this season. He is so important to them that when he missed three games due to an injury in October, his side failed to win any of them.


Buongiorno is expected to leave Torino for a bigger club in 2024, and a number of sides in Italy and England are interested in signing him.

Roma Metropolitan Magazine claim that along with Chelsea, West Ham United and Aston Villa, Ange Postecoglou’s side are keen, and they have no problem in meeting Torino’s demands.

The Italian club’s president, Urbano Cairo, is looking for a fee in excess of £26 million to let Buongiorno leave in January.

Alessandro Buongiorno has made more tackles than Cristian Romero
Alessandro Buongiorno has been earning a lot of plaudits for his performances this season.

The Sun revealed this month that old Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho also praised him after watching his play for Torino this term. The same outlet describes Buongiorno as ‘one of Europe’s most versatile defenders’ and ‘one of the most aggressive tacklers in Serie A’.

He has made 32 tackles already in the Italian top-flight so far this season (WhoScored) – one more than Tottenham’s Cristian Romero has managed in the Premier League this campaign (WhoScored).

The two defenders together could make Tottenham an extremely difficult side to score against.

Left footed , €20/30m/40m depending on source of story
 
That's cool. If AP wants him, who am I to say different?

Like I said, I've not seen a lot of Gallagher. I know nothing about his temperament, his personality, or anything else other than the few games I've seen him play.

I've felt that way about a few Spurs signings over the years, and have been happily proved wrong with a lot of them.

I trust the big man's judgement of a player though, so will be more than happy to see what he brings to the table once AP has his hooks into him.

Regardless, I still think £50M is steep for what I've seen to date, but as I've been saying for a long while, I don't care how much they cost as long as they are the right fit.
Tbh jury is still kinda out on Johnson who cost best part of £50M.
 
Probably doesn't see himself as 3rd choice. Maybe he won't be.

if he's good enough to push Romero or VDV out the starting 11, what a player we would have on our books.
That is it we need to have a number of players who can push each other. Remember it’s not just about the starting 11. Say Romero is playing gets a yellow then you have the option of subbing him if we have a quality player on the bench. Same thing with little injuries which if not handled correctly become long term as we have seen over the years. At least with a quality CB you can then bring him in without drop in quality.
 
Possibly but who the hell knows what the manager wants and where he plans to play him, what plans he has for him etc...
Rather a proper number 9, CB s d may be full back. Is Gallagher at £50M that much of an improvement on what we already have? Plus throw into the mix academy players like Alfie and donley. We surely need to promote those guys as well otherwise what is the point of having academy if all we are gonna do is buy from someone else’s academy.
