HEADING FOR THE EXIT…

Roma will make one last-ditch attempt lure Vlad Chiriches away from Tottenham, but will need to meet the £7m valuation that the club have put on the Romanian defender.

LIVE: Latest transfer news and rumours

Spurs signed the 25-year-old in 2013 for the same fee when they agreed a deal with Steaua Bucharest, but he has failed to break into the first team under Mauricio Pochettino this season with Jan Vertonghen and Federico Fazio emerging as the Argentinian’s preferred choice in the centre of his defence.

Emmanuel Emenike

The pacey Nigerian striker is available for £15m and Spurs are certainly lacking fire power in attack with Harry Kane currently carrying the team by himself. However, the players agent has confirmed that Spurs are yet to make a bid for the player, and Fenerbahce would like to hold on to him until at least the summer.

Seville's Colombian forward has already scored 10 goals this season for his club and is being lined up by Mauricio Pochettino to join Harry Kane in attack, with current Spurs striker Roberto Soldado a possible make-weight in any move for him.

The Southampton midfielder was coveted by Spurs in the last transfer window. Expected to return to action in January after recovering from the ACL knee injury which forced him to miss the World Cup.

Hector Moreno

The Argentine defender, 26, worked under Pochettino at Espanyol during the manager's time with the Spanish club.

The Evening Standard reports that Chiriches is keen on a move to Roma and the terms are not a problem, but Spurs harbour concerns that selling him at this point of the season would leave them sufficient time to find an able replacement.

HEADING FOR THE ENTRANCE…

As part of the Chiriches deal, Roma may offer striker Mattia Destro, who has interested Spurs in the past. The same Evening Standard report suggests that the Italian club are keen to offload the Italian forward, but the player would prefer to remain in Italy and is said to be keen on joining AC Milan.

However, Spurs could face opposition from fierce rivals Arsenal as well as AC Milan should they move for Destro, with the Metro reporting that the Gunners are considering following up their long-term interest with a formal bid this month.

Elsewhere, ESPN claims Spurs are considering a move for Netherlands international Memphis Depay, although Manchester United are also in the hunt with Louis van Gaal eager to be reunited with the player he managed at the World Cup.

Depay interested Spurs in the summer, but remained with Dutch side PSV Eindhoven when the interest failed to materialise into a transfer. However, it’s now believed that Spurs could bid up to £15m to try and tempt PSV into parting ways with the winger.
