10pm Tottenham transfer news LIVE: Gedson Fernandes AND Bruno Fernandes talks, Eriksen £17m Inter move, Piatek LATEST – The Sun

DESPITE Daniel Levy's reputation for frugality, Tottenham could be one of the January transfer window's big spenders.

A deal for striker Krzysztof Piatek is reportedly close, while the club are also said to be talking to Bruno Fernandes and his unrelated namesake Gedson Fernandes.

Keep up to date with all the latest Tottenham Hotspur transfer news below…

  • SunSport's Etienne Fermie thinks Jose Mourinho needs to ditch Christian Eriksen and play Giovani Lo Celso.

    Spurs rallied against the runaway leaders Liverpool, but ultimately it was too little too late in North London as Jose Mourinho's side could not quite snatch an equaliser at the death.

    For the second week in a row, Mourinho turned to Giovani Lo Celso and Erik Lamela when his side were in dire need of a goal.

    And again his side improved markedly when he did.

    At Championship side Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, Tottenham were toiling towards an embarrassing 1-0 defeat before the Argentine duo entered the fray.

    When they did, they added energy, dynamism and urgency to what had been a tepid Spurs performance.

  • SUBSTITUTES:ERIK LAMELA (for Danny Rose, 69) – 7

    Battled away as he always does, but couldn’t quite make anything happen. Spurs did improve after he was brought on though.

    GIOVANI LO CELSO (for Christian Eriksen, 69) – 7

    Fantastic tackle to start the counter that lead to Son’s fantastic chance to equalise. Showed passion and energy that Eriksen did not. Should have scored when he got on the end of Aurier’s brilliant cross.

  • HARRY WINKS – 7

    One player for Spurs that could handle the ferocious pace of the game. An improved performance from the England international, who often seemed to revel in the pressure he was put under by Liverpool’s swarming midfield.

    CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – 4

    Looked largely disinterested, with his only noticeable contributions coming when he trotted over to take set-pieces. Booed by some in the stadium when he was finally substituted. Has been a brilliant player for Spurs, it will be sad if this is the lasting memory Spurs fans have of the Dane.

    LUCAS MOURA – 6

    Drew plenty of fouls from Liverpool’s midfielders. Played largely centrally and looked to spring on the Reds’ defence every time he got the ball. Lashed an early second half chance wide of the near post.

    SON HEUNG-MIN – 5

    Wasted a good early shooting opportunity. Was largely deployed on the left-hand side, but was pretty well shackled in the main by Trent Alexander-Arnold. Spurned a sensational second half chance to equalise by ballooning over the bar.

  • TOBY ALDERWEIRELD – 8

    Brilliant, trademark diagonal to put Dele through in the first half. As usual defended his penalty area excellently, and marshalled Spurs’ back four/five as fans have come to expect.

    DAVINSON SANCHEZ – 8

    Is growing every week as a Spurs defender. Faced a difficult task largely against Salah in the first half, but stuck to it well. Should be starting every week for Tottenham.

    DANNY ROSE – 5

    Battled manfully but looked rusty having been injured recently. Touch was off at times and gave the ball away quite a lot. Had a difficult task up against Alexander-Arnold and Oxlade-Chamberlain.

    DELE ALLI – 6

    Wasted a good chance after being put through by an Alderweireld diagonal. Teed up a brilliant second half chance for Son.

  • Here is how SunSport’s Etienne Fermie rated each Tottenham during their 1-0 defeat vs Liverpool…

    PAULO GAZZANIGA – 6

    Superb save to deny what had seemed a certain goal when Virgil van Dijk got on the end of Jordan Henderson’s clip. Helpless for Firmino’s opener.

    SERGE AURIER – 6

    Attacked well and was reasonable defensively. Produced a sumptuous cross that should have been smashed in by Lo Celso.

    JAPHET TANGANGA – 7

    Heroic, goal-saving block early on from Firmino. Looked comfortable on his Premier League debut, and burst forward with the ball confidently on occasion. Was bamboozled by a Firmino shimmy in the box for Liverpool’s opener, but would be harsh to blame the youngster. Asked to play at left-back late on.
