Tottenham entered this month desperate for reinforcements to fill the gaps left by their injury list, and end it perhaps even more in need. It seems that when one player returns from injury, another replaces him in the treatment room. With five days remaining, 10 Spurs players are battling injuries, and there is a daunting run approaching.
Until the seeming relief of hosting bottom club Southampton on April 5, Spurs will face trips to Brentford, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Fulham and Chelsea, as well as Ipswich who turned them over in north London earlier this season. And the home games aren't much better, especially with Ange Postecoglou's side not having won a league game in N17 for three months. Both Manchester clubs and high-flying Bournemouth visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming weeks.
So additions are more needed than ever. Here, our Tottenham expert MATT BARLOW answers the five key questions facing them before the window closes on February 3. What business have Spurs done so far and will they be happy with it?. They swooped to sign 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky for £12.5million from Slavia Prague at the start of the window which looked decisive and sensible, with Guglielmo Vicario and Fraser Forster both out at the time.
Antonin Kinsky has impressed since his early January move from Slavia Prague. Hyeok Yang-min completed his move from Gangwon in South Korea and is now on loan to QPR. It was one of those deals identified for the summer market and brought forward because of the goalkeeping crisis at the time.
