Tottenham Hotspur's January transfer deadline day is expected to be dominated solely by players leaving the club which is unlikely to please the fans.

football.london understands that the club has been inundated on the final day of the window with a flood of calls from agents from across Europe offering their players to Mauricio Pochettino's cause.

However, Tottenham have not been biting and football.london understands the club do not expect to seal an incoming transfer before the 11pm deadline.

There is always the possibility of a late deal that is just too good for chairman Daniel Levy and Pochettino to turn down arising in the final hours, but that is thought to be unlikely.

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi was one of those players offered to the north London outfit, with the player believed to be interested in the move across the capital, but Tottenham did not take up the loan offer.

Pochettino said on Wednesday night that he did not expect any new signings to arrive at the club.

"I am going to talk now with my chief scout Steve Hitchen, I am going to ask for some news. I expect that maybe some players are going to leave but I do not expect that we are going to add to the squad," he said after the victory against Watford at Wembley

"I am going to talk because I want some news, but not because I am expecting to sign a player."

That will mean by this summer that Tottenham will not have signed a new player for around 18 months, Lucas Moura their last signing in January 2018.

However, there will be departures from the club on Thursday before the deadline with attacking players Vincent Janssen, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Kazaiah Sterling all expected to head out on loan, with other academy youngsters also set to seal loan moves to continue their development.

Talks were taking place between Bundesliga side Schalke and Spurs over a deal for 24-year-old Janssen but broke down before the Bundesliga transfer window closed at 5pm.

Real Betis did lodge an interest in the Dutch striker, but stalled on making an offer as they also chase West Ham's Lucas Perez and Batshuayi, and look to be out of the race.

Nkoudou, 23, is currently in France putting the final touches on a loan switch to Ligue 1 strugglers Monaco.

Sterling, 20, made his FA Cup debut for the club at Crystal Palace on Sunday and has been on the bench for a number of Premier League matches. However, with Son Heung-min's return from the Asian Cup, Fernando Llorente's two goals in three matches and the return of Harry Kane in a month's time, Tottenham are willing to allow the player to go out on loan to continue his development.

Clubs in the Football League have been in contact with the north London side about a loan move for the young striker.

A couple of other academy players are also expected to head out today to clubs down the football levels to hand them experience of first team football.

It will be the lack of outgoings that will concern Tottenham fans, however Pochettino has always said that he would prefer to use players from within the club than risk making a panic buy that upset the balance of his squad.
