Tottenham have received offers from Roma for both Radu Dragusin and Mathys Tel, while Spurs are also looking to ship out\u00a0Alejo Veliz, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The north London club are having a difficult time in the Premier League this season with Thomas Frank\u2019s side currently 14th in the table<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/a> have only won seven of their 22 Premier League matches this season with just one win in their last eight matches in all competitions under Frank.<\/p>\n

The Spurs boss is coming under increasing pressure to get it right on the pitch and he will be hoping Tottenham can do some January business to help him out.<\/p>\n

A number of players could be moving on in the winter with Frank upsetting Tel, who only joined permanently in the summer from Bayern Munich, after leaving him out of their Champions League list ahead of their clash against Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on\u00a0X<\/a>: \u201cTottenham manager Thomas Frank excludes again Mathys Tel from Champions League squad list.<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0Who will be next Tottenham manager if (when) Thomas Frank is sacked? Xavi or Xabi?<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFrank makes space for Dominic Solanke and the only way was to remove Tel. The French striker and his camp, not happy at all with the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now\u00a0Gazzetta dello Sport (via Football Italia) claim that<\/a> Serie A side Roma are \u2018in talks\u2019 to sign Tel and Dragusin from Tottenham in January.<\/p>\n

Roma\u2019s interest in Dragusin has been known for a while but the Italian giants \u2018have also sent an offer\u2019 for Tel after the latest news.<\/p>\n

Both deals are understood to be loan as the two \u2018players are unhappy at Tottenham and seek more playing time in the second part of the campaign\u2019.<\/p>\n

The report adds: \u2018Dragusin has already given the green light to join Roma on loan this month, but Spurs want the Giallorossi to include an obligation to buy in the deal.\u2019<\/p>\n

Another player who is causing Tottenham a headache is\u00a0Alejo Veliz, who is currently on loan at Rosario Central in Argentina, with\u00a0Argentine outlet\u00a0Cadena 3 insisting that<\/a> Spurs are seriously thinking about paying a compensation fee to end the loan.<\/p>\n

Spurs could then sell Veliz to\u00a0Brazilian side Bahia with Tottenham seeing Veliz as a \u2018problem\u2019 with the Premier League side willing to pay a fee to \u2018fix the broken-down car\u2019.<\/p>\n

Cadena 3 adds: \u2018Sources close to the player describe the scenario bluntly: for Spurs , V\u00e9liz is \u201ca problem,\u201d and they would be willing to pay a hefty sum to \u201cfix the broken-down car.\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham have received offers from Roma for both Radu Dragusin and Mathys Tel, while Spurs are also looking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,348,72008,50,221,25932,101,919,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-380686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-home-page","tag-mathys-tel","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-radu-dragusin","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-hotspur","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
