Tottenham Hotspur endured a quiet winter transfer window when it came to new signings. Their transfer dealings involved loaning out two academy prospects and signing a youngster from the Scottish Premiership.

James Wilson left Hearts to join Tottenham on February 2. Spurs hijacked Arsenal’s move in a last-gasp swoop for the 18-year-old talent, signing the striker until the end of the season with an option to buy.

The Scot scored eight goals in 45 appearances since making his breakthrough at Hearts last season, but he struggled for game time this term. James Wilson will initially link up with Tottenham Under-21s, with the north Londoners submitting a deal sheet right on time on deadline day to steal him under Arsenal’s noses.

Thomas Frank was hopeful of seeing his squad getting reinforced on deadline day, but nothing materialised. This meant he ended up with just two first-team signings- Conor Gallagher and Souza. The failure to bring in a new No.9 was extremely disappointing, leaving Frank to work with the available resources at his disposal until the end of the season.
