Roy Keane has praised Tottenham Hotspur’s January transfer window business on .

The Sky Sports pundit believes Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski have been inspired signings for Spurs.

Tottenham struggled for much of the month as several key targets joined other clubs, but got there in the end.

Spurs director Fabio Paratici brought Bentancur and Kulusevski to N17 from Juventus on deadline day.

Both players got a somewhat mixed reaction at the beginning, but have become huge fan favourites at the club.

Bentancur has proven to be the perfect midfield partner for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

And Kulusevski hit the ground running in the Premier League, making the players around him better.

Although Spurs have still struggled for consistency, two consecutive league wins and four from five shows they’re on the right track.

And Keane, speaking on The Overlap, admitted Tottenham’s recruitment has impressed him.

“That fourth place is available for you,” Keane told a Spurs fan.

“The way Kane and Son have been playing, Spurs have almost snook up there.”

The fan added: “More to the point, Bentancur and Kulusevski have hit the ground running.”

And Keane replied by saying: “That’s good recruitment, without a doubt.”

Good recruitment indeed – Bentancur and Kulusevski have made Tottenham so much better.

Spurs are still a work in progress, but the pieces are finally coming together.

And come the summer, when Paratici and Conte can really make wholesale changes, it’ll be exciting to see who else arrives at N17.
