Despite looking set to miss out on long-time winter target Adama Traore, who is currently in talks with Barcelona, Spurs are believed to be on the verge of landing Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat, with growing optimism they could also sign FC Porto star Luis Diaz after a bid.
They're also working on multiple exits as midfielder Tanguy Ndombele remains in talks with Paris-Saint Germain, while the likes of Dele Alli could also be on the move (Sky Sports).
The Latest: Tottenham 'preparing big-money' transfer...
As per Hull Live, it appears Spurs aren't done there in the last hurdle. As stated in the website's headline, Tottenham are 'preparing a big-money transfer' for Lewis-Potter, with the Lilywhites and Paratici 'understood to be keen on making a bid'.
According to this report, Conte has even sent scouts to watch the 20-year-old in action, with the Italian personally keen on his potential signing.
Their 'expected' offer will apparently include the option to loan Lewis-Potter back to the MKM Stadium for the rest of 2021/22.
The Verdict: Get it done...
The bright Championship starlet is certainly one to watch, and the fact that Hull could demand just £14m should be a real incentive for Spurs to make a last-gasp move.
Lewis-Potter was a key player in helping the Tigers achieve promotion back to England's second tier last season, scoring 13 goals and setting up six others in 43 League One appearances. A regular under former Hull boss Grant McCann, he has continued that form into this season, with six goals and four assists in all competitions halfway through the current campaign (Transfermarkt).
His former manager even labelled the attacker a 'special talent', and the 20-year-old's numbers over the last two years back up this statement.
Lewis-Potter could also help to fill Tottenham's homegrown quota as the reasons to move far outweigh any doubts.
