TOTTENHAM are reportedly lining up a deadline day swoop for Monaco star Gelson Martins after missing out on Dan James.
Antonio Conte has already added a number of new additions to his squad over the summer window.
Now he wants to bring in more attacking reinforcements before tonight’s transfer deadline.
They were linked with a move for Leeds United’s Welsh winger James.
However, the former Manchester United ace, 24, is now closing in on a move to Fulham.
The Cottagers have swooped after Justin Kluivert’s transfer from Roma collapsed over a work permit.

Now Sky Sports are claiming that Tottenham’s managing director and Conte “met to consider their other options in the market” earlier today.
Portugal international Martins, 27, “fits the profile” of the type of player they want.
And the report also adds that the former Sporting Lisbon and Atletico Madrid attacker is “keen” to come to the Premier League.
The ace, who was linked with Arsenal several years ago, is comfortable lining up on either the left or right wing.

Meanwhile, there has been plenty of late interest from clubs looking to take Lucas Moura off Spurs’ books.
But they have no desire to let him leave on loan and are only interested in a permanent sale.
Bryan Gil is also still anxiously waiting for Spurs to bring in a replacement.
That would then allow him to join Valencia on loan.
