Tottenham midfielder Elkie Bowyer has joined third-tier Ipswich Town on a dual registration agreement until the end of the season. The 18-year-old spent the first half of the season on a dual registration with Watford, but returns to Ipswich having spent the second half of the 2023-24 campaign in Suffolk.

Tottenham are still reportedly interested in signing Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap as Ange Postecoglou gave a Spurs transfer update on Friday.

The Australian’s evident distrust of Sergio Reguilon – he started an injured Pape Matar Sarr in midfield and Gray at left-back rather than the Spaniard on Sunday – has also meant that Spence has generally deputised for Destiny Udogie rather than Porro.

Tottenham are in talks to sign a highly-rated Premier League winger and an England international as part of a triple coup, while multiple sources have confirmed the club's decision on whether to sack Ange.

Ange Postecoglou says he cannot ask for anything more from his Tottenham players, despite them going seven league games without a win.
