Tottenham Lining Up TWO HUGE Deadline Day Signings – Axel Disasi Loan Deal Nearing Completion & Another Star Set to Arrive
With a mounting injury crisis and time rapidly running out, Tottenham Hotspur are leaving it late to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window. Despite needing reinforcements for weeks, Spurs have only just made their first significant outfield signing, and deadline day promises to be chaotic.
Injury Woes Force Tottenham’s Hand
Ange Postecoglou’s squad has been decimated by injuries, with key players Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, and Dominic Solanke all sidelined. Their absences have forced young players like Archie Gray to take on bigger roles, while emergency additions such as goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky have helped stabilize the team.
However, fans had to wait until February 1st to see Spurs finally secure an outfield signing, with Lens centre-back Kevin Danso arriving to bolster the defense. Even so, Tottenham’s last-minute push for further reinforcements continues, after failing with recent approaches for Fikayo Tomori and Mathys Tel.
Now, as the transfer window nears its final moments, Spurs remain under pressure to secure a new attacker and possibly another defender. The club’s recruitment team is working frantically behind the scenes, and these are the biggest deals to watch in the closing hours.
Tottenham Pushing for Axel Disasi Loan Deal
In a somewhat surprising development, Tottenham have been strongly linked with Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, with a potential loan deal now in the works.
Reports suggest Disasi must choose between Spurs and Aston Villa, as both clubs look to snap up the 26-year-old on deadline day. Chelsea appear open to letting him leave, signaling that Disasi is not part of their long-term plans.
Even with Danso arriving, Tottenham’s defensive problems are far from solved. Radu Dragusin is facing a long-term layoff, and Cristian Romero remains unavailable with no clear return date in sight. That leaves Postecoglou’s side in dire need of further defensive cover—hence their push for Disasi.
Shocking Links to Garnacho and Nkunku Emerge
Tottenham’s search for attacking reinforcements has taken an unexpected turn, with links surfacing to both Alejandro Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku.
Postecoglou has been vocal about wanting more firepower after a string of injuries left his squad stretched. With Premier League experience a priority, Spurs are reportedly considering ambitious moves for two of the league’s most talented forwards.
Garnacho’s Future Clouded by Rashford’s Potential Exit
Manchester United would demand around £70 million for Garnacho, but any deal could be complicated by the fact that Marcus Rashford is rumored to be on the verge of joining Aston Villa. If Rashford leaves, United may be reluctant to let another key attacker depart in the same window.
Nkunku Available—But Only for a Permanent Move
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku is reportedly open to an exit, but only if it’s a permanent transfer rather than a loan. With Spurs traditionally cautious about major January spending, it remains unclear whether they’d sanction such a move.
While both targets would add immediate quality, a deal for either player feels unlikely at this stage. However, with Tottenham’s desperation growing, the club could yet pull off a deadline day shocker.
Final Hours of the Window Could Define Spurs’ Season
With the clock ticking down, Tottenham’s late-window business could prove decisive in their push for a top-four finish and silverware this season. Their squad is severely depleted, and failure to strengthen could seriously dent their ambitions in the coming months.
All eyes are now on Daniel Levy, Ange Postecoglou, and the Spurs recruitment team. Can they pull off a deadline day masterstroke—or will Tottenham’s hesitancy come back to haunt them?
