Tottenham Hotspur may have been handed a significant boost in their pursuit of a “very interesting” target as manager Ange Postecoglou looks to add multiple new additions to his Spurs squad before deadline day.
Tottenham chase second January deal after Antonin Kinsky
New goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky proved himself a very astute £12.5 million signing from Slavia Prague, enjoying a debut to remember by shutting out Premier League title favourites Liverpool in their 1-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg win over the Reds on Wednesday night.

There are even suggestions that Spurs hope to finalise an agreement for Kolo Muani by the end of this weekend, but talk of a deal being this advanced is yet to gain widespread traction among media outlets.
The north Londoners have been repeatedly linked with a swoop for Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi as well, and TV Play has a very intriguing update on the Italy international’s future.
Davide Frattesi "ready" to join Tottenham if they can agree Inter deal
The 25-year-old is also attracting interest from Roma, but the Serie A side will have trouble meeting his €32m (£27m) asking price.
Spurs, on the other hand, can meet that valuation “immediately” – giving Postecoglou’s side the upper hand in the race for Frattesi’s signature. TV Play also states that Frattesi is “ready” to join Tottenham if they can find a deal with Inter despite his apparent preference for Roma, as the Premier League “fascinates” him.
For Roma, it is “practically impossible” for them to pay £27m in January, which is why they’re working on a loan with an obligation-to-buy clause.
Tottenham are keen to orchestrate another Serie A transfer after their successful signings of Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur and Destiny Udogie, and if all goes to plan, Frattesi may well be following them.
“Frattesi seems to be the next Barella,” said Fabrizio Romano in 2021.
“He’s this kind of player, super talented, very interesting.”
