Here is your Tottenham morning digest on Sunday, January 30.
Tottenham see Diego Carlos deal rejected
Tottenham Hotspur have seen a bid for Diego Carlos rejected as they aim to bolster their squad before deadline day, according to reports.
The north London outfit had attempted to beat Premier League rivals Newcastle United to the signature of the Brazilian by offering midfielder Giovani Lo Celso in part exchange, says TuttoMercatoWeb.
However, Carlos’ current employers Sevilla have rejected that offer out of hand and have insisted that only bids close to the player’s €75m (£62.3m) valuation will be considered.

Brighton eye Joe Rodon swoop
Spurs’ interest in the Sevilla defender could be a direct consequence of rumours surrounding Joe Rodon’s future in north London.
The Welshman - signed from Swansea City in October 2020 - has seen Premier League opportunities come at a premium this season with just one appearance thus far.
It is suggested that Brighton & Hove Albion are considering a move for the defender as they attempt to find a replacement for Dan Burn, who is subject to interest from Newcastle United.
It remains to be seen whether any move would be on-loan or permanent but should Rodon complete a switch to the AMEX Stadium, he would be reunited with former boss Graham Potter.
