Tottenham look set to be one of the busiest Premier League clubs on transfer deadline day.

As the transfer deadline approaches today with the possibility of spending £134 million, Tottenham supporters will be hoping Daniel Levy continues his trend of closing deals in the transfer market after the deadline has passed. Since Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich, Spurs have remained silent in the market despite having £100 million to spend on reinforcements.

Kane’s replacement does not have need to be a like-for-like match, according to Ange Postecoglou. Even though Richarlison has struggled to score goals this season, the Tottenham manager has been pleased with the Brazilian’s performance thus far.

Given that Perr Schurrs’ transfer to north London is still being discussed, the Spurs manager seems more focused in strengthening the defense. All summer long, Tottenham has been keeping an eye on the Torino star’s position, and a move for the center-back may be contingent on Eric Dier leaving.

Given the sale of Kane, Tottenham should easily be able to pay Torino’s asking price of about £34 million for Schurrs. Conor Gallagher of Chelsea has surfaced as a potential target for Tottenham, who are also trying to strengthen their midfield prior to the transfer deadline.

The Blues have made it clear that they won’t even consider selling Gallagher unless their rumoured £50 million asking price is fulfilled; West Ham previously had a £40 million offer rejected. Gallagher, a young midfielder with the versatility to play in a variety of positions, fits the description of the type of player Postecoglou is looking for in the transfer market.

After Chelsea’s acquisitions of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, there is significant question regarding the position of the England international inside the Chelsea hierarchy. Last week, when Chelsea defeated Luton 3-0, Gallagher and Caicedo started in midfield. Lavia was not a member of the squad.

Because of Gallagher’s importance to the team, Pochettino has made it clear that he wants to keep him at the club. However, Tottenham might succeed in stealing the midfielder from their London rivals.
