6 players Tottenham Hotspur want to sign in January

#2 Rafinha (Barcelona)

Rayo Vallecano de Madrid v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Rafinha and Spurs have been closely linked for a long time now, and thanks to Pochettino's great relationship with Barcelona's director Ramon Planes, Spurs have always been the frontrunners for his signature.

However, there is one major setback with this transfer: Rafinha is currently sidelined until May 2019 because of a Cruciate Ligament Rupture. This will put a halt to proceedings, as the player will be unable to complete their medical. But with Spurs' interest in the midfielder so high, there's no doubt that they'll try everything they can to ensure that they get their man sooner than later.

This could mean that they go after him in the summer, instead.

Rumour probability: 0/10

Simply because of his major injury, this transfer won't be going ahead, regardless of the speculation that still buzzes around him right now.
