3 players Tottenham Hotspur could sign this January

While they have some of the most impressive talents in the world, Tottenham has somehow failed to maintain their legacy. With a system of no trophies and an extremely inconsistent form, Spurs, despite having the potential, can actually fade from the memories of their fans.

While the January transfer window is the next stop for all of the top clubs, it is an opportunity for Pochettino to spend some of that extra money in order to complete his team with depth and strength.

3 such players have been linked with a move to Tottenham, as the Spurs are looking forward to going all out in terms of transfer deals. While they are strong in both the offence and the defence, their midfield has lacked some depth and is an area that requires some more expertise.

#1 Marco Asensio - Real Madrid

Is Asensio on his way to the Premier League?

Marco Asensio is currently one of the most important players for Real Madrid, and the fact that he is extremely versatile is something that Tottenham could use as a perfect replacement for Christian Eriksen, as he could leave for Barcelona, according to reports.

Asensio was looked up as the replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo but hasn't lived up to the expectations. He can be an extremely important player for the Spurs, as his ability to score goals from difficult situations can really be helpful. Asensio can also be deployed as a false 9 or as a winger.

While it has been suggested that Spurs are in talks with Real Madrid for the Spaniard, his €700million buyout clause is something that cannot be ignored as he has his contract until 2023.

However, he is one of the best young talents in the world, and his arrival will help Tottenham secure the first ever major trophy in a long time.

#2 Frenkie de Jong - Ajax

Could de Jong be headed to the Premier League?

The Dutchman has been a part of some fresh news in recent times, as the likes of PSG, Manchester United and Barcelona have joined the race in order to sign the defensive midfielder. The 21-year-old is one of Europe's most wanted players and now Spurs too have joined the race in order to get his signature.

And why not? Spurs have lacked the depth in their midfield, as the likes of Moussa Dembele and Moussa Sissoko are slowly fading from the memories of the fans and could soon be replaced.

Frenkie de Jong has the ability to be the game changer for the Spurs, as they can then form one of the strongest midfields in the Premier League. He can then be deployed as a central midfielder in order to develop a more consistent approach towards playmaking. However, signing him won't be an easy approach.

#3 Jack Grealish - Aston Villa

Aston Villa v Birmingham City - Sky Bet Championship

The Lions have seen better days in terms of playing in the Premier League, and Aston Villa now plays in the second tier of English football. However, one of their most important players could really be heading to the first tier, as the Spurs have had him on their radar since last summer. Attacking midfielder Jack Grealish is been looked at as a perfect backup for Christian Eriksen.

A quick, agile, and intelligent playmaker, Grealish could be the one who could really make the difference for the Spurs in terms of being a rotation player. He can also start as a first team player in terms of adding depth to the midfield.

Since everyone wants to play in the top tier of English football, the 23-year-old would really be happy with this deal progressing.

In order to win the trophies, Spurs will have to spend the extra bucks, and he could be a very good inclusion.
