Tottenham Hotspur's deadline day move for AS Monaco forward Gelson Martins is still considered “alive”, according to journalist Pete O'Rourke.

If Spurs could somehow pull a deal out of the bag for Martins in the final moments of the summer transfer window, it would go down as a significant coup.

And while O’Rourke reckons the deal is “still alive”, there’s not much time left for Tottenham. However, time is fast running out for Spurs to get a deal over the line. Martins, 27, “fits the profile” of the type of player they want.

CIES have published their latest study, and this time they've been attempting to find the best young players in world football in 2022.

Whether or not Udogie kicks on and fulfils his potential remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, Tottenham have managed to get their hands on one of the brightest young talents in Italy with this young man. Of course, Sesko is a striker and Udogie is a wing-back, so the valuations are widely different for a number of reasons, but based on this ranking, the £15m move for Udogie earlier in this transfer window looks like an absolute bargain. Tottenham are represented on this list by Dejan Kulusevski who scores 82.2 out of 100, while Destiny Udogie also ranks as one of the best players born in 2002, scoring a 76 out of 100.

Viktor: We need a creative midfielder and maybe a right-back. I'm not fully convinced about Hojbjerg, maybe we should sign a more attacking and creative player, but if not, I won't be too sad... We need some creativity in our midfield and he would be an ideal option from the bench.
