Are we on the road to greater things now?

Let us start with the good news (not that I've got any bad news), Davinson Sanchez is all ready to go for tomorrow's game, if he is picked. I suspect he will be sitting on the bench.

It seems the purchase of Serge Aurier is almost a done deal. He just has to jump through a few hoops and if everything is ok then by Tuesday everything will be announced. 

It has also been reported that Spurs are expected to spend near the £100 million mark. Which tells you that they really fancy going for it this season. And to be honest, with a new stadium just around the corner they need to challenge big. 

There is talk that Ross Barkley could be snatched from under Spurs gaze, by Chelsea. But this is more to do with paper talk as I've got it on good authority that Spurs are favourites, but that doesn't mean it is 100%. We've snatched players in the last few seconds, and of course, we've had players snatched from us at the last hurdle. So nothing is cert until it has officially been confirmed by the club themselves. So let us keep our fingers crossed. 

There have been rumours that we might put a bid in for Liverpool's wantaway disgruntled player, Divock Origi. A 22-year old Belgium player. Some talk that Liverpool want to put him out on loan, but if Spurs were interested they would want a permanent move.  The Belgium player wants more play time and it doesn't seem he will get it at the moment. There have been a few other clubs interested in him.  Marseille and Anderlecht are both keen, while there's also a chance he could stay in the Premier League.

Pochettino is a fan of his and Spurs have been monitoring him for some time. If we let Vincent Janssen go then we definitely need another striker, whether it could be this one, is a big question. If Kane gets injured again, then Spurs would be left short of options. 

According to Lazio's sporting director Igli Tare, Keita Balde Diao can join Spurs, but only if the get what they want.

And finally, it has been reported that Alli would be happy with a Barcelona move. I am sure he would be if Levy wanted him sold, but he doesn't.
