Tottenham retain a strong interest in Coventry midfielder James Maddison.
Spurs could sign the 19-year-old for £5million in this window before loaning him back to the League One club for the rest of the campaign.
Tottenham did a similar deal with Milton Keynes Dons a year ago for Dele Alli.
Meanwhile, Spurs are also keen to move on defender Federico Fazio before the deadline.
Sevilla – who sold Fazio to Spurs in the summer of 2014 – would like to take the Argentine back to Spain but would prefer an initial loan deal with an option to buy. Tottenham are believed to be looking for a straight sale.
What to expect from Tottenham before the transfer window shuts
Losing the Argentine would see Mauricio Pochettino’s backline options depleted even further, with Jan Vertonghen already ruled out for up to eight-weeks with a knee ligament injury.
The former Ajax man has formed a formidable partnership alongside Belgian compatriot Toby Alderweireld, who arrived from Atletico Madrid last summer.
Alderweireld is now expected to partnered by Austrian Kevin Wimmer.
