Tottenham were one of few Premier League sides to enjoy a busy transfer deadline day as Antonio Conte added Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur to his squad.
Conte was determined to bolster his squad ahead of the second half of the season with a place in next season's Champions League still a possibility.
With Bentancur, some much needed quality has been added to the Spurs midfield and in Kulusevski, the star attackers finally have some back up.
Bentancur has signed on a four-and-a-half year contract while Kulusevski joins on an in initial 18-month loan, although Tottenham will be obligated to make that permanent for €35million (£29.2million)if certain objectives are hit.
"I feel very good, I’m very happy to be here, very grateful for this opportunity that Spurs have given me," the Swedish winger said after signing.
"The Premier League has always been the league – since I was 15 I was thinking about the Premier League because that’s what we watched in Sweden, that was the best league in the world and I still think it is.
"It’s just another world. I was always thinking ‘when can I go there?’ and then when this opportunity came, I didn’t think twice.
"I hope to bring energy to the team. I love playing football, it’s the best thing in the world, playing, attacking, defending, playing for each other. To win games, score goals, assists… I just want to do it all."
Dele Alli, Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele all departed in what has been a significant month of change in north London.
The departures left shirt numbers 20, 28 and 18 available but neither of the new arrivals have taken one of the vacated digits.
Instead, Bentancur will fill the 30 shirt while Kulusevski takes the No.21.
