Kovacic has been the guy I've wanted Spurs to go after most in this window. He'd instantly improve our central midfield. But, we either need to shift 4 non HG players to accommodate him I believe (for CL) or just go after HG players (which seems to be the tactic) so I've resigned myself to that dream transfer not happening.
We need to shift two from last year to accommodate Lamela and Lucas
So 3 from the below
if we were to bring in Kovacic.
If Winks isnincluded this season he will now take a HG place
So there would be 3 HG places we could fill. 2 of them could be foreign but Association trained (registered in the English FA ( this clubs association) for 36 month between 15-21 yrs of age)
Last year CL squad (Winks and KWP were U21)
Goalkeepers Lloris, Vorm, Gazzaniga.
Defenders Trippier*, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sánchez, Foyth, Rose**, Davies.
Midfielders Dier, Dembélé, Wanyama, Eriksen, Sissoko, Nkoudou.
Forwards Kane**, Alli*, Son, Llorente
HG:
*Association trained
** Club trained
