We have now entered the second half of the January transfer window and clubs do not have long left to conduct their business.

With relegation battles to be fought and European places to be competed for fans can expect plenty of deals to be completed before the deadline, which will soon be looming large.

Tottenham may have signed starlet Shilow Tracey from Ebbsfleet United but Mauricio Pochettino has not exactly been a busy boy in regards to transfers this month.

Spurs are in a strong position in the Premier League but their front line is looking increasingly light, despite Harry Kane's best efforts.

The England striker is in need of support up top and, with a deal for Saido Berahino appearing to be difficult to resurrect, Spurs have turned their attention to Toulouse forward Wissam Ben Yedder, according to new reports.

The 25-year-old has scored a healthy 12 goals in 21 Ligue 1 appearances this season, including seven in his last five.

Ben Yedder is contracted until the summer of 2017 but is entrenched in a relegation dogfight towards the bottom of France's top tier this term.

A potential switch to White Hart Lane to help Kane and co secure a place in the Champions League could look very appealing to the France Under-21 international.
