Tottenham 'will listen to offers for five players' in order to fund striker transfer
Tottenham could be set to complete their best ever transfer window should they secure the signing of a striker alongside Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilon.
Gareth Bale returning to Spurs would be 'brilliant' says pundit
Tottenham are reportedly willing to listen to offers for up to five players as they look to clear the decks in north London. Jose Mourinho is set to complete two blockbuster deals today in the form of Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilon after Daniel Levy reached a double agreement with Real Madrid. The pair are set to fly to London today to put the finishing touches on their moves but it will be Bale who dominates the headlines, following his sensational return to the club he left in 2013 for a world-record £85million fee.

According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, Jose Mourinho is willing to entertain offers for several first team stars.
He tweeted: "Tottenham’s initial payment on Sergio Reguilon said to be favourable to #THFC & club aim to balance window - will entertain approaches for likes of [Danny] Rose, [Juan] Foyth, [Paulo] Gazzaniga, [Serge] Aurier & [Ryan] Sessegnon in some form. Dele [Alli] not on course to leave as things stand but could change."
Rose has not trained with the first team since returning from a loan spell with Newcastle.
The left-back was seen confronting Mourinho on his lack of game time during the Amazon series All of Nothing.
It looks like the end of the road for him at Tottenham with Genoa in talks over a permanent deal.
Leeds, Valencia and Villarreal are all interested in Foyth, who is yet to make an impression under Mourinho.
Meanwhile, Aurier is the subject of interest from AC Milan, Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen but there is no agreement in place as of yet.
There had been some suggestion that England international Alli could head to Real Madrid as part of a deal for Bale.
However, he looks set to stay at Spurs despite being left out of the squad that travelled to Bulgaria to take on Lokomotiv Plovdiv in a Europa League qualifier.

He was subbed off at half-time on Sunday in the 1-0 defeat against Everton on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes Mourinho is picking on the 24-year-old.
"Jose Mourinho can kill players, he's done it in every club he has been at," Agbonlahor said on talkSPORT.
"At Man United he tried to do it with Pogba with Shaw and I feel like Dele Alli might be his new target.

"Look what he's done to Danny Rose, which I thought was a disgrace and he's still Spurs' best left-back. I feel with Dele Alli, something has happened there between there between them.
"From what I heard he wasn't even meant to start the Everton game. Steven Bergwijn had a migraine during the warm up or before the game and that's why Alli started.
"For him to drag him at half-time for me was a bit of an insult as I feel like he could have dragged Harry Kane or other players before him.
"There's something else going on there and I feel like if Dele Alli can try and get out to Real Madrid on a swap deal is a no brainer.
"He'd do better at Real Madrid than he would do at Spurs."
