Fabrizio Romano says £35m decision ended ‘aggressive’ Tottenham push for midfielder

Tottenham’s midfield plans for the remainder of the winter window appear to be shifting, with one target no longer as prominent.

Tottenham Hotspur fans will no doubt be eager to see a few more players arrive in north London, given their side’s struggles so far this season.

Injuries have not helped Spurs’ case, with players dropping like flies, and when added to a poor run of results that has Tottenham sitting 14th with just two wins in their last 14 outings, strengthening the squad appears a clear priority.
