As the transfer window heads into its last week, Tottenham Hotspur are looking to make the final touches to their summer business.

Spurs made their headline signing for the window Dominic Solanke, who joined from Bournemouth in a club-record deal worth £65 million.

Teenage midfielders Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall also arrived this summer, with the former signed from Leeds and the Swede coming back from his loan spell at Djurgardens.

The North London club brought in two more teenagers Wilson Odobert and Yang Min-hyeok as they look to build on their talented crop of young players.

In the final stages of the window, Tottenham are looking to sign a goalkeeper, midfielder and also a defender, with a former Chelsea player being targeted for the defence.

Tottenham ask about signing Andreas Christensen

Tottenham have enquired about the signing of Andreas Christensen from FC Barcelona, according to Diario Sport.

The defender, along with Eric Garcia, has been made available for transfer as the Catalan club look to reduce their wage bill.

One of the two defenders will be sold this summer and with the Dane not starting in Barca’s opening game against Valencia means he wants to look for regular minutes elsewhere.

Christensen is now open to leaving the Spanish giants and has plenty of interest from the Premier League. Manchester United and Newcastle United have also expressed an interest in signing him.

Barcelona want around £21 million for the 28-year-old who has a contract with the club until 2026.

Tottenham need a versatile defender in the final week of the window

Tottenham certainly need one more defender to arrive this summer to avoid being short of left-sided options.

An injury to either Micky van de Ven or Destiny Udogie and Ange Postecoglou could be forced to bring in Ben Davies or Radu Dragusin on his unfavoured side.

Given how much football Spurs are due to play this campaign, the North Londoners need to find one more player who can fill in at both left centre-back and left-back.

Christensen at £21 million would not be a good option with the former Blues defender being right-footed.
