Alasdair Gold has delivered a potentially exciting transfer claim surrounding Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the 11pm deadline this evening...

What's the word?

Speaking on Twitter, he said:

"Spurs yet to completely rule out more movement today but an expectation at this stage that the two new arrivals could be the only ones. With that, here's a look at the intricacies of today's deals in and out, the reasons why but also the problems ahead."

In an accompanying article, he then added:

'football.london understands that while Paratici is continuing to scour for opportunities in the market in the final hours of the window, and the club have not yet ruled out further movement, there is an expectation that, at this current moment, Bentancur and Kulusevski will be the only new faces this window.'

Late deals to be done?

With a mere matter of hours left on deadline day, this development from Gold is certainly going to provide Spurs fans with some hope that more business can be done before time runs out.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski are currently the only incomings at Hotspur Way this evening, both signing from sporting director Fabio Paratici's former club, Juventus.

Meanwhile, there has been a flurry of departures already, if not inbound. Tanguy Ndombele has gone to former club Lyon, Giovani Lo Celso to Villarreal, Dele Alli is expected to sign for Everton, whilst Bryan Gil has also gone out on loan.

The arrival of the Uruguay midfield beast certainly bolsters Conte's engine room, whereas the Sweden dynamo hands the Italian a very versatile and exciting option anywhere in the attack.

But he could still do with a new right wing-back and potentially a left-footed centre-back as reports suggest that he has little faith in his current options of Matt Doherty and summer signing Emerson Royal due to their lack of threat in the final third.

Whilst left-back Ben Davies has been deployed in a back three as the only natural left-footed option available.

Either way, those around north London will surely be buzzing by Gold's latest update.
