# Tottenham Hotspur: Alex Crook makes ‘behind the scenes’ deadline day claim

**Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/1830731-tottenham-transfer-news-deadline-day-surprise-hinted-as-behind-the-scenes-claim-emerges), talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook has made a promising ‘behind the scenes’ deadline day claim at Tottenham Hotspur.**

### The Lowdown: Tottenham tipped to be busy…

Just over three hours of the transfer window remain and only two incomings have been [confirmed](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10460659/Juventus-CONFIRM-Dejan-Kulusevski-Rodrigo-Bentancur-joined-Tottenham.html#:~:text=Juventus%20have%20confirmed%20midfielders%20Dejan,good%20luck'%20on%20each%20one.), with both Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur making their way from Juventus today.

Tottenham had been tipped to be busy, with former Sky Sports reporter [Aden-Jay Wood](https://twitter.com/ajwood16/status/1487906329930915846?s=21) expecting ‘several’ incomings at N17 today.

Alas, with the clock ticking, it will take a dramatic late twist if multiple signings are to come through the door, but talkSPORT reporter Crook has urged Spurs fans not to lose all hope.

### The Latest: Spurs working hard…

According to his sources, Tottenham are ‘still working’ as he shares their transfer movements from behind the scenes. He also believes there are a couple of names which have yet to be revealed as more Spurs signings today aren’t completely ruled out.

He told [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/1830731-tottenham-transfer-news-deadline-day-surprise-hinted-as-behind-the-scenes-claim-emerges): “I think there’s a couple of names that haven’t come out yet. I think they’re still working quite hard behind the scenes.”

### The Verdict: Encouraging…

Signing only Kulusevski and Bentancur would be a slight disappointment from Tottenham given the [plethora of links](https://twitter.com/helenacondis/status/1487880162343628800?s=21) to come out over the last week of the transfer window.

Antonio Conte had [earmarked](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/four-transfers-antonio-conte-believes-22673935) the signing of a new striker, left-sided centre-half and a right-wing-back to boost Spurs’ chances of a top four finish, but it remains to be seen whether he can get any of these positions filled after all.
