Tottenham are preparing a late move for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
The 23-year-old, who captained Chelsea against AFC Wimbledon on Wednesday night, is aware of Tottenham's interest but they have yet to make a formal approach.
The deal is likely to depend on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's pending departure with the Danish international discussing a possible loan move to Atletico Madrid.
Gallagher was the subject of a £38million offer from West Ham earlier in the window but preferred to stay at Chelsea.
He has figured regularly under Mauricio Pochettino but is aware starting places may be limited with the arrival of Cole Palmer from Manchester City and the prospect of Chelsea adding another signing before the window shuts.
