Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Southampton winger Tyler Dibling and Lille playmaker Angel Gomes over the summer.
Spurs are enduring a woeful 2024-25 campaign so far, with the latest of an embarrassing catalogue of defeats arriving at home to Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.
Ange Postecoglou's men raced into the lead in the contest courtesy of a Richarlison strike, however second-half efforts from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannous turned the match on its head.
Suffering their 14th top-flight defeat of the season at the hands of the relegation-threatened Foxes, the Lilywhites have a decision to make regarding the future of their head coach.
A disgruntled Postecoglou currently has Spurs sitting in 15th spot in the Premier League table, just eight points above the relegation zone.

Tottenham eyeing summer deals for Dibling, Gomes?
According to The Telegraph, Tottenham's hierarchy are sympathetic towards Postecoglou's current lack of options, with his squad decimated by injuries.
As a result, it is understood that the Australian is desperate to bring at least one outfield player to the club before the end of the winter window.
The report states that Spurs are keen on recruiting teenager Dibling this month, although Southampton are reluctant to lose one of their star players in the middle of the campaign.
Consequently, the Lilywhites could wait until the summer, when the Saints are likely to be a Championship club, to secure the talents of the winger.
As his deal at Lille expires at the end of the term, England international Gomes is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with sides outside of France, with Spurs known admirers of the diminutive midfielder.

Tottenham's transfer window so far
With Guglielmo Vicario out of action due to a serious ankle injury, Fraser Forster was initially trusted in between the sticks for Tottenham.
However, following a number of high-profile mistakes, the veteran was replaced by winter arrival Antonin Kinsky in goal for Postecoglou's strugglers.
At just 21 years of age, the Czech stopper has thrown straight into the fire during his debut in England, an EFL Cup semi-final clash against Liverpool.
Kinsky managed to keep a commendable clean sheet on the night as Spurs gained a narrow advantage ahead of the second leg at Anfield next month.
