Tottenham's new boss Tim Sherwood would have been delighted with his first few weeks in the job - up until this weekend.

Spurs were beaten 2-0 by North London rivals Arsenal in the FA Cup third round and calls for the Spurs boss to improve his squad this month flooded in at the final whistle.

Chairman Daniel Levy insists the club won't be writing any big cheques this month - especially given how much they spent in January.

Here is all the Tottenham transfer news and gossip from today's papers and from across the web.

Wednesday's Tottenham transfer stories from the Daily Mirror

Erik Lamela's father has revealed his son is desperate to quit Tottenham during this transfer window.

The 21-year-old has struggled during his debut season at White Hart Lane - failing to live up to his £30m price tag - which Spurs paid Roma to secure his services last summer.

There were reports that he would be on his way out - with Inter Milan keen to take him back to Italy - although Tim Sherwood was adamant he would not sell the Argentinian winger.

Jose Lamela is claimed to have told Italian media: "Erik is not happy and wants to go back to Italy.

"He has been linked with Lazio but I don't know anything about this. Could he re-join Roma? I don't know.

"Tottenham does not want him to leave in January."

The England international is reportedly being eyed up by both Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.

According to Le Parisienthe French champions believe the 23-year-old is the ideal man to replace the injured Christophe Jallet and battle Dutch full-back Gregory van der Wiel for the right-back spot at the Parc des Princes.

Monaco boss Claudio Ranieri is a long-term admirer of Walker but he is yet to firm up his interest in the former Sheffield United man, leaving Laurent Blanc and PSG free to swoop.

Wednesday's Tottenham transfer gossip and rumours from other newspapers and websites

Following Roma's capture of Belgian midfielder Radja Nainggolan, United States international Michael Bradley could be available.

Roma director Walter Sabatini was recently in England to discuss potential transfers according to Forza Football.

Bradley has been behind the preferred midfield trio of Kevin Strootman, Miralem Pjanic and Daniele De Rossi at the Stadio Olimpico this term, and with Nainggolan's arrival could be surplus to requirements.

That could alert Spurs and their technical director Franco Baldini, who took Bradley to Rome in 2012.

The 26-year-old, who once had an unsuccessful loan spell at Aston Villa, has also been linked with Spurs' London rivals Fulham.

Etienne Capoue could head through the White Hart Lane exit doors, with Napoli boss Rafa Benitez preparing to take him to Naples, according to Goal.com.

Capoue has failed to cement a place in the Spurs starting XI since returning from injury in November and Benitez could test Tim Sherwood''s resolve with a move this month.

The Napoli manager missed out on the aforementioned Nainggolan and has had a £14.1 million move for Lyon's Maxime Gonalons rejected this week as he looks to improve his side's midfield.
