Tottenham among leaders in race for Championship star with 3 G/A this season

6 hours ago 4

Tottenham are reportedly in pole position to land a highly-rated English midfielder as Thomas Frank looks to further strengthen his squad ahead of the January transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur were just as busy as any other side in the recently concluded summer window, with the Lilywhites bringing in four new faces.

With over £150 million spent, Spurs have already started to see the results of their recruitment, showing improved performances across all competitions so far this campaign.

Tottenham have made a strong start in the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup, yet fresh reports continue to link them with further options as the winter window approaches.

Tottenham frontrunners to sign Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney

TeamTalk are now reporting that Tottenham Hotspur are among the frontrunners to sign Middlesbrough star Hayden Hackney in 2026, following his impressive performances this season.

Spurs were linked with Hackney during the summer, but nothing materialised at the time, although it appears interest is now stepping up.

Middlesbrough would prefer to keep hold of their midfielder, but Hackney’s current contract runs until 2027, and a decent offer could be enough to tempt them to sell.

The Lilywhites, however, are not the only club monitoring the 23-year-old, with Fulham also keeping tabs, but Spurs are said to be leading the race for his signature, as a deal with Fulham looks unlikely.

Spurs fans eye January transfer moves

Spurs fans have already begun to look ahead to the January window, with many supporters identifying the positions they would like their club to strengthen.

The forward line, defence and even the goalkeeping department have been mentioned as areas in need of reinforcement.

Meanwhile, Thomas Frank has revealed that preparations for the winter window have already begun, with discussions ongoing between Vinai Venkatesham and Johan Lange.
