Tottenham Hotspur have made an audacious late move to sign an England international in the dying hours of the transfer window.
The Lilywhites managed to rake in a huge fee from selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich but are yet to make a major signing since their all-time scorer left for the Bundesliga. Brennan Johnson has been rumoured but that move now looks to be in doubt over a difference in valuation of the player with his employers, Nottingham Forest.
The Athletic claim that a £20 million bid has been rejected for Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly – but another England international could be set to join Spurs.

Tottenham have contacted Chelsea over the signing of Conor Gallagher, according to The Mailwith one more midfielder wanted by manager Ange Postecoglou.
Gallagher has been a regular starter for new Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino so far but with Cole Palmer joining the west Londoners, the midfielder might find his minutes limited this season.

Tottenham may also be selling Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to Fulham, as per the Mail, meaning that Postecoglou would have the likes of Pape Sarr, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Giovani Lo Celso and Gallagher at his disposal.
