Tottenham look set to sign Conor Gallagher, and there will be more business to be done before the window closes next month.
The former Chelsea midfielder is swapping Atletico Madrid for Tottenham as he looks to prove to Thomas Tuchel he should be on the plane for the World Cup in the summer.
Although Tottenham will focus their energy on signing players this month, there will be some interest from other clubs in their players.
Yves Bissouma could depart during this window after a falling out with Thomas Frank, and ultimately, he might not be the only one.
Spurs already have a number of players out on loan, and it would appear that some of those players are starting to attract interest from Premier League clubs during the window.
Alfie Devine wanted by Premier League clubs
The talented forward is currently out on loan with Preston North End and his five goals have contributed to an extremely impressive season for the Lilywhites.
He’s seemed unfazed by playing Championship football and now, it would appear as though Premier League clubs have been monitoring his form.
Alasdair Gold is a man with his finger on the pulse at Tottenham and on the latest episode of Talking Tottenham, he suggested Devine is being eyed by Premier League outfits.
He said: “Another player out on loan, Alfie Devine, who has been at Preston, he is flying right now. He’s absolutely smashing it there.
“They actually do have an option to sign him, if I remember from the original agreement. So there’s that, but also from what I understand has been interest in him from Premier League and championship teams, both on permanent and loan deals, if I remember correctly. So keep an eye on what happens to Alfie Devine, really gutted that he hasn’t really had a chance at Spurs because I think he’s going to be a hell of a player.
“I’ve just got this feeling he’s going to be a Premier League player. It’s a bit like Josh Keeley, who’s going to be let go in the summer. I think there are two, that we’re going to see in the Premier League.”

Jose Mourinho compared Devine to Bruno Fernandes
When Mourinho was strutting his stuff at Tottenham, he gave Devine some minutes in the first team and it was claimed by The Athletic that he reminded him of United star Fernandes.
That is quite the endorsement from one of the game’s top managers, and although he’s not really had a proper chance at Tottenham yet, it would appear that the Premier League is set to come calling still.
Devine can play in a number of positions, and it will definitely be interesting to see where he ends up after this season.
The young performer has scored once in two games for Tottenham and he might still hold some hope that he can get another kick at Spurs in the future.
