Tottenham have had far from the perfect start to the season heading into the November international break, so Ange Postecoglou may look to reinforce his squad in the upcoming transfer window.

After 11 Premier League games, Spurs currently sit 10th in the league table, winning five, losing five, and drawing one. The Lilywhites have won just once away from home so far in the league with Postecoglou’s side, like last season, struggling for consistency as they look to earn a spot in the Champions League for next season.

With Spurs off the pace and having suffered a few injury problems already, they may be tempted to delve into the transfer market in January, with the Lilywhites having been linked with a host of players ahead of the first transfer window of 2025. So, if Postecoglou was to get some backing to sign who he wants in the January transfer window, who could arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? We simulated the 2025 January transfer window to find out…

Spurs’ 2025 January transfer window simulated

To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2024 editor to give Postecoglou full control in the 2025 January transfer window, seeing who the Aussie would want to add to his squad. This is what happened.

From the start of the transfer window, Postecoglou made his priority signing clear, with Spurs making four attempts to bring Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz to the club. Unfortunately, all four attempts failed, with their largest offer of £47million being rejected by Los Blancos.

Instead, Spurs turned their attentions to Germany, with the Lilywhites successfully making a move for Borussia Dortmund attacker Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. The 20-year-old Englishman has impressed for Dortmund so far this season, with Spurs splashing £41million on him, with the fee potentially rising to £54million with add-ons.
