According to football.london reporter Rob Guest, Tottenham are hoping to bring in three new additions before the January transfer window closes.

This will consist of a right wing-back, a central midfielder and a striker, with those positions "expected to be the priority".

The Lowdown: Spurs rushed for time

Today marks two weeks until transfer deadline day, so Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici haven't much time left to deliver upon what was deemed a pivotal transfer window for the club.

Many rumours have arisen regarding additions and departures, but nothing has come to fruition so far, with zero signings or departures at Tottenham Way.

Antonio Conte recently indicated to Levy that the transfer situation at Tottenham is not where it should be, saying that the club's "incredible" fans "deserve much more".

The Latest: Three new additions expected

Guest said in a Q&A for football.london that Tottenham are hoping to secure three signings before the January transfer deadline, and it is expected that they will prioritise the additions of a right wing-back, a central midfielder and a striker.

He stated: "Hopefully it will be three new additions as a new right wing-back, central midfielder and striker are expected to be the priority this month. Monday marks two weeks until the transfer deadline and that leaves Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici with limited time remaining to bring in new signings.

"However, Spurs have been known to be late movers in the transfer market in the past. As Jose Mourinho was backed in his first transfer window as Spurs boss with a couple of new additions, Levy has to do the same with Conte. Tottenham have a world-class manager at the club and they need to keep him happy about the level of backing he will get at Tottenham."

The Verdict: Ambitious but necessary

Additions to Spurs’ squad are a necessity for a number of reasons. Firstly, the squad is light on depth, with a lack of cover an obvious issue in a few positions.

Perhaps even more importantly, transfer activity will be crucial in keeping Conte happy. If a hugely successful manager like him is not backed by the club after promises to the contrary, he could become disenchanted - you only have to look at how his time at Chelsea ended acrimoniously.

Also, if Spurs are to fight for Champions League qualification, they will need to bolster the quality of options they have in their squad, as currently a few injuries could leave a lasting impact on the Lilywhites’ season.

Three signings is an ambitious mission with two weeks left in the window, but Spurs need to do their utmost to try and deliver on that before the end of the month.
