Spurs Transfers: 5 Deals Pochettino Could Complete Today

3. Jay Rodriguez

Southampton have already very openly dismissed any chance that their England striker will be moving this summer, having seen a huge number of talented players leave the club, but while their adamance speaks volumes, so does there track record. According to the club, none of the players who left this summer were available for transfer, and it was only the size of the transfer fees that convinced them to part with their assets. That suggests that the same would deb true of their remaining players, and Tottenham should be testing their resolve with a cheeky late bid for Rodriguez. He may still be injured - until November or so - but the striker has a major future ahead of him after a good few years in the Premier League and Spurs would do well to register their intent early. The manager already knows his worth, and he's the kind of mobile attacker who could profit from Spurs' more expansive attacking play.
