Tottenham snubbed a £30m forward in January, now he has four goals in six games

Tottenham may regret turning down the chance to sign a 28-year-old who has been outstanding in La Liga since his January transfer.

Despite being in the middle of an injury crisis, Spurs only bought two players through the door in the winter transfer window: Conor Gallagher and Brazilian teenager Souza.

Tottenham fans were left frustrated by the club’s transfer business, and their inactivity has backfired, with the Lilywhites now in real danger of being relegated to the Championship.
