Left back cover?
The guy plays right back

If we're looking for left back cover, don't want to spend too much money on him and don't want to use up an overseas player squad place then a decent option could be somebody like Jaheim Headley from Huddersfield.

If we happen to have some money to spend then there is a Danish youngster called Patrick Dorgu currently playing for Lecce in Italy who is a seriously good prospect. I think he'd cost close to £20m however.

Kyle Walker Peters would also be a sensible option to cover both left and right back spots with a massive advantage that he counts as club trained. With only a year left on his Southampton deal the price probably wouldn't be too prohibitive but, despite growing up a Spurs fan, I'm not sure that KWP would want to leave Southampton to join a club that he didn't think he would be first choice at.

But €30m was the price I think I read

I never thought we should have sold KWP and he should have been selected for Euros. He played LB for England youth team that won WC with Sessegnon playing wide left, Steve Cooper knew Sess was never a defender.

Good news that Richarlison is fit enough to travel.

Interesting that Royal and Solomon don't make the Gil and Reguilon list.

Presumably Dorrington is injured too?

Yep, Richi was in pics on plane, so hopefully good news

Royal is one with interest (Milan, supposedly Saudi as well)c, for right offer he goes, don't think Ange is worried if worse case he stays. Edit, rumour is it's one of Royal or Spence

Solomon will always be likely to be sold in January window if he doesn't improve, never likely it was this one.

Liked the look of Victor Kristiansen at the Euros. Danish left back, pacy and good stamina. Plays for Bologna and no idea on value but would be a good option when Udogie isn't available.
Only 21 so still room to improve as well.

In a years time that’s a LOT of cBs

In a year I assume Romero will be snapped up by Real Madrid or somesuch for £100m, and Davies will be sold to Swansea for £1m.
Then it all looks very different with only Dragusin and VdV as the trusted PL level players, then lots of kids with high potential.

Real won’t pay that
They are not paying out transfer fees for older players
They are for younger ones
 
For me the most important thing is being pretty DAMN sure about any pricey new signings i.e. it has taken us years and years to whittle down the dross and we're still trying to scrape some of them off our shoes.

E.g. most people that mention Jonathan David say they aren't very convinced, he is a bit wooden, bit clunky etc. so that is a big red flag to me. Lots of 'quite good' forwards have come to the Prem, looked OK, charged around a bit and failed.

Note, I really like the spend on Gray and Bergvall, they look great and immediately pass the eye test, almost nobody is worried about those signings.

That’s part of the reason I like Toney
20 goals in 33 games in his first season playing for a negative side
