6. Esteban Cambiasso - Free Agent (Defensive Midfielder)

Salvatore Laporta/AP/Press Association ImagesAlthough it is reported that Spurs have now
ended their interest in the former Inter Milan man,
Esteban Cambiasso had been linked with the White Hart Lane club for weeks prior to that happening. As a 33 year old former Argentina international and Champions League, La Liga and Serie A winner, Cambiasso's experience and winning mentality could have been vital at Spurs - and the obvious national link to new manager Mauricio Pochettino heightened the potential link to the club - but it did seem odd that Spurs were said to be focusing on a man who plays in a position in which they already had an abundance of options (Sandro, Paulinho, Mousa Dembele, Nabil Bentaleb, Etienne Capoue etc).
