Tottenham will be very busy today

Deadline Day is here and Tottenham fans are watching closely to see if Daniel Levy can pull a magical surprise out of his hat. Spurs clearly have several key questions to answer before the summer transfer window slams shut.

Frankly, Spurs fans should be more concerned with Levy providing Pochettino with multiple solid acquisitions as opposed to praying for a magical saviour to arrive. The squad’s starting XI is in excellent shape, but Pochettino lacks the depth to compete across all competitions. That could easily change if Levy provides him multiple signings today.

Of course, filling multiple holes on Deadline Day isn’t an easy task. Even a tireless negotiator like Levy will struggle to find value when time is so scarce. The challenge for Tottenham will be finding players who can help them at reasonable prices.

The club cannot afford to overpay for average talent like they have in the past (see Sissoko, Moussa). Then again, the summer transfer window is hardly a predictable science. Even the most savvy chairman can be fooled on Deadline Day. You can bet that Levy doesn’t want to get fooled again though.

Without further delay, let’s examine the questions that Tottenham must answer today. Fortunately for you, we’re going to provide you the most likely answers as well.
