But, as with every transfer window, there are plenty of twists and turns ahead.

While the general feeling is that January markets are typically quieter than summer ones, Tottenham might just be in a position to break the norm this time around.

Financial experts are weighing in, and some of their insights might be exactly what Spurs fans have been waiting to hear.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has recently explained why Tottenham Hotspur could be one of the Premier League’s biggest spenders in the upcoming January transfer window.

Speaking to The Standard, Maguire highlighted the club's financial flexibility, particularly with regards to the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

"Tottenham can spend money, but you are never quite sure. They tend to be followers rather than leaders. Spurs are in a fantastic position. Their wages as a proportion of revenue is lower than anybody else,” Maguire said, offering an optimistic view on Spurs’ ability to move quickly when it comes to reinforcing their squad.

This financial breathing room is significant. Spurs have a relatively low wage bill compared to other top Premier League clubs, which puts them in a solid position to make moves if they wish.

With chairman Daniel Levy under increasing pressure from supporters to support his manager, the window could see the arrival of several fresh faces.

What can Spurs fans expect?

Reports indicate that Spurs could be one of the most active clubs in January, with some sources suggesting that as many as five players could arrive.

Whether these reports turn out to be accurate remains to be seen, but the excitement surrounding potential signings is palpable.

There is also speculation that Tottenham might opt for a more conservative approach, focusing on adding depth to the squad rather than pursuing big-money signings.

Maguire himself pointed out that while clubs are generally in a better financial position than in the summer, it only takes one major deal to start a ripple effect throughout the market.

"Manchester City have got a lot of money to spend, so if they sign a couple of players . If somebody decides that they are going to sign one of their summer targets in January, then that could accelerate things," he added.
