Tottenham Hotspur steal deadline-day headlines with big-money double signing

Still, the additions of Lo Celso and Sessegnon made a real statement following the earlier capture of club-record signing Tanguy N'Dombele from Lyon, falling in line with boss Mauricio Pochettino's demands for them to "act like a big club" following their move into their new stadium last season.

Lo Celso has been a summer-long target for Spurs and they finally got their man on an initial loan that could turn into a £55million move next summer.

The Argentina international scored 17 goals for Betis last season and is keen to work with his compatriot Pochettino in the Premier League.

Spurs' pursuit of Sessegnon has gone on even longer as they were interested last summer, before the teenager opted to have a season in the top tier with Fulham.

Their relegation back to the Sky Bet Championship has allowed the north London club to swoop this time around and a cash-plus-player deal, thought to be in the region of £20million, was agreed with Josh Onomah heading the other way.

The 19-year-old is currently nursing a hamstring injury, but that is not expected to present a problem and he will be seen as the club's long-term successor to current left-back Danny Rose, who could still leave before the end of the European window on September 2.

Rose was understood to have been the subject of interest from Watford, but a deal was not agreed and Rose will stay at Spurs for now.
