The Lilywhites\u2019 move for the Frenchman was perhaps partly down to the fact that Dominic Solanke\u2019s injury is worse than initially feared<\/a>. That may explain why it is a straight loan without an option or obligation to buy.<\/p>\n Some sources have said over recent hours that Spurs are not ruling out a late signing of a centre-back or a winger<\/a>, but a fresh update has now suggested that those moves are unlikely.<\/p>\n Football.London\u2019s Alasdair Gold<\/a> has now said that the French international is expected to be the final player to arrive through the door at Tottenham <\/a>on transfer deadline day, barring any late surprises.<\/p>\n The journalist explains that Spurs had been exploring various options for a centre-back and a winger today, but none of the names high up on the club\u2019s transfer list were available.<\/p>\n Additionally, he reasoned that the centre-backs that Thomas Frank would have wanted may not have wanted to play second-fiddle to Cristian Romero<\/a> and Micky van de Ven<\/a>, with Spurs deciding to keep their powder dry.<\/p>\n Why Tottenham have done the right thing by not panic buying<\/p>\n Fans always want to see more bodies through the door as they get a big dopamine hit when new signings are made, particularly on deadline day.<\/p>\n However, it would not make sense to spend big on players whom Frank and the Tottenham recruitment department are not 100 per cent convinced about.<\/p>\n Spurs would be better off going back in for the likes of Savinho or Rafael Leao in January rather than settling for a less ideal option right now.<\/p>\n Have something to tell us about this article?
