We have now entered the final few hours of the January transfer window. A key month for Tottenham in the market due to a host of injuries, fans have been left rather frustrated because of a lack of business.

Moving quickly to secure highly-rated goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague, Ange Postecoglou's second January signing only arrived on Sunday after Tottenham clinched a deal for Kevin Danso from Lens. The centre-back gives Spurs some much-needed cover in the position but they are still rather short there.

As well as looking to sign another centre-back, Tottenham also require a further attacking option. The club were keen on bringing Mathys Tel to the club from Bayern Munich but the Frenchman turned down a move to the capital.

So what exactly would constitute a dream end to the transfer window for Tottenham? football.london takes a look below.

Wonderkid agreement

Southampton ace Tyler Dibling has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this month. The teenager has enjoyed a remarkable breakthrough season at St Mary's and he has come to the attention of a number of top clubs in the process.

The Exeter-born player looks a certainty to depart Southampton but it is a question of when. Spurs could make their move to sign him ahead of rival clubs and also give themselves an attacking boost heading into the remainder of the campaign.

Dibling mainly plays off the right-wing but he has also played as an attacking midfielder and forward for Southampton this season. The 18-year-old has four goals to his name in 24 appearances and he has also contributed two assists.

Tottenham already have some very exciting talents on their hands, with Dibling another who can help Postecoglou create a team for years to come. It would be a nice way to finish the transfer window if Spurs can tie up a deal for Dibling.

Centre-back signs

Following the signing of Danso from Lens, Tottenham need to sign another centre-back prior to Monday's 11pm deadline. The extent of Radu Dragusin's injury will soon become clear and it remains to be seen when Cristian Romero will return as Postecoglou admitted after the Brentford game that the Argentine is "still a little bit away".

Tottenham had held talks with Chelsea over a loan move for Axel Disasi, who has also been heavily linked with Aston Villa during the transfer window. However, football.london understands that Spurs are now not at this point pursuing a loan move for the Frenchman.

Following the Disasi news, Johan Lange needs to ensure that Postecoglou has an alternative centre-back to work with from this week onwards.

Loan outgoings

It is not just about incomings for Tottenham on transfer deadline day as outgoings also need to take place. The Lilywhites cannot afford to lose players permanently due to the current status of their squad but there could be the possibility to loan out some players.

Alfie Whiteman would benefit from a loan move elsewhere as he has dropped a place in the goalkeeping pecking order following Kinsky's arrival and it won't be too long until Guglielmo Vicario returns from injury. Tyrese Hall is someone else who requires a loan exit as he needs regular first-team football to help aid his development in the game.

Damola Ajayi could also be the subject of transfer interest after making a big name for himself against Elfsborg last Thursday with a goal on his Tottenham debut.
