Tottenham Hotspur are set for a blockbuster deadline day.

Tottenham are set to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Mun⛦ich before the close of play today, and that comes after th𒈔e addition of Kevin Danso at the weekend.

Tel is arriving at Spurs after a few failed✅ attempts at signing other strikers.

Indeed, Tottenham wanted Randal Kolo Muani earlier this month,⭕ while Noah Okafor was a Spurs target 🌺too late in the day.

However, Tel may not be the only new🐻 addition at Spurs on deadline day.

According to Nick Powell, speaking on Sky Sports News (3/2/25 3:10PM), there is still another signing that Tottenham want to make on deadline day in 🔜addition to Tel.

Tottenham also want to sign a new defender

According to⛎ Powell, Tottenham still want to sign another defender after securing a loan deal for Tel.

Tottenham bid for Marc Guehi late in the day, and whওile that offer was rejected, Spurs do still need another ℱcentre-half.

“The other big news today. Crystal Palace rejected a bid from Tottenham for Marc Guehi over the weekend. Guehi is now expected to stay at Palace. Tottenham do still want to sign a defender in addition to Tel, two Chelsea loan outgoings are close too, Joao ܫFelix to AC Milan and Carney Chukwuemeka to Borussia Dortmund,” Powell said.

Tottenham defensive options analysed

Spurs want a new centre-back, and it’s ꩲeasy to understand why they may be k🥃een to add another defender.

Radu Dragusin𓄧 has picked up a serious injury, so Spurs are onꦅe man down at the back once again.

Dragusin had been start💟ing regularly recently amid an i🍃njury crisis.

Indeed, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have struggled to stay fit this season, and Spurs have got to factor in fitnꦏess problems when building their squad.

The only reliable centre-back option Tottenham have had this season in terms of availability has been Archie Gray, and even then🌄 he’s a more natural midfielder.

Spurs do need depth at the back given their curren⭕t problems, and it would be wise for Ange Postecoglou’s side to add another defender to their ranks before the deadline.
