‘Crazy money’- Fabrizio Romano explains Tottenham’s plan for January transfers

According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur is not in a rush to make additions and will not spend “crazy money” in January if the right players are not available.

Over the past few weeks, a lot has been written and discussed regarding Tottenham’s January plans. According to Football Insider, the club’s top priorities are to sign a defensive midfielder and a center-back.

In particular, a lot of conjecture has surrounded Spurs’ rumored pursuit of a center-half, with players like Lloyd Kelly, Trevor Chalobah, and Marc Guehi believed to be on the North London team’s wishlist (GiveMeSport).

After Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic’s injuries, there have also been hints in more recent times that Ange Postecoglou’s team will try to reinforce their wide areas (Tribal Football).

But after using up most of the Harry Kane transfer money in the summer before the striker joined Bayern Munich, David Ornstein said in a Q&A on The Athletic last week that Tottenham does not have much money to spend in January.

Tottenham will not push the boat out in January

Now, Romano has made a similar suggestion, saying that the Lilywhites will search for openings in the last few days of the window.

“On Spurs, we know they have some injuries in defense at the moment, but they are not desperate to sign cover,” he said to Caughtoffside. That will rely on the circumstances.

“I’ve been told they won’t panic because they know most of these players will be back at the end of December, so they’ll assess the situation then. They’ve just been unlucky to have a lot of injuries at the same time.”

“In general, I don’t see Tottenham blowing big bucks in January; that’s not the current plan.” They are content with the squad’s current balance, but they may search for opportunities as the January transfer window comes to an end because of the importance of some key players’ recuperation times.

These assertions are probably the result of what people like Romano and Ornstein have heard from different agents involved in the game.

Despite the fact that Tottenham has not historically made large-scale acquisitions in January, I think the team will shock everyone by being extremely active in the transfer window this year.
