Tottenham appear to be closing in on their second January transfer, given what happened after the West Ham loss.
Conor Gallagher moved to Tottenham from Atletico Madrid for a £34.6million fee, and made his debut in the 2-1 loss against West Ham.
However, that is not expected to end their transfer business this winter, and more players are expected to move to North London.
Have your say: I rate Conor Gallagher’s Tottenham debut a _/10…

Another signing for the future or will he have an immediate impact?

Athletic journalist Elias Burke, who was in attendance for the game on Saturday afternoon, claimed that he spotted the Brazilian walking past the mixed zone.
He also appeared to be in fine condition and was not limping.
Burke wrote on X: “Souza, who has not yet been announced by the club, has just walked through the mixed zone at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.”

After the humiliating defeat at home to a side in the relegation zone, Thomas Frank certainly has plenty of questions to answer.
The team looked uninspired and clueless for large parts of the game, and Gallagher, too, did not seem to have the best of debuts.
Tottenham are contemplating sacking Frank, as they could end the gameweek sitting in 15th place on the Premier League table.
Thus far, there is very little credit he has in the bank in order to justify keeping him at the club, even until the end of the season.
With Oliver Glasner available, Spurs could look to accelerate their pursuit and bring the Crystal Palace manager to the club as soon as possible.
There is a good chance that Frank, the one who likely would have had a say on Souza’s arrival, may not be the one who helps him integrate into the first-team setup.
This could cause some complications if the new manager does not rate the teenager.
