With Van de Ven out with an injury, “Tottenham to close two significant January deals” might be possible.

Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider claims that the Spurs will only release Eric Dier in this way if they are able to find a “stand-in” to take the place of the injured Dutchman.

After being replaced against Chelsea just before halftime because of a hamstring injury, Micky van de Ven will be sidelined for an extended period of time.

Given the lack of defensive options at the back, Ange has suffered a serious setback.

Ben Davies has stepped in as a temporary centre defender in Romero’s absence, with Eric Dier serving as their only backup centre back at the moment.

Despite recent reports indicating that Levy is willing to trade Dier in January rather than risk losing him to a free agent in the summer, everything depends on whether Spurs can sign a suitable center-back during the upcoming transfer window.

Pete O’Rourke claims that the Spurs will first try to sign a “stand-in for Van de Ven” in order to “open the door to an exit” for Dier.

If they can not find one during the January transfer window, Postecoglou will have to make do with the England international for the rest of the campaign.

The January transfer window for Spurs will be crucial. Depending on how well they perform in the market, they might place differently in the league.

Despite their fantastic start to the season, things have started to go south due to their growing injury list.

They have now lost their last two games, and although they did not play particularly well against the Wolves, they did try.

According to Romano, the Spurs won’t be making extravagant purchases in January, but Levy will be under pressure to perform.
