Hugo Rodallega is one of several players being linked with Tottenham
"There are also murmurs that Harry Redknapp will make one last push for Blackburn pair Chris Samba and Junior Hoilett."
Not for the first time, Tottenham dominate the headlines on transfer deadline day, with several stories surfacing about the [25.0] title outsiders boosting their chances with some last-gasp business.
Wigan forward Hugo Rodallega looks almost certain to move today and with links to both Fulham and QPR, London appears his most likely destination.
There are reports that Spurs will gazump both though, taking advantage of the fact that he is due at White Hart Lane for tonight's match, with the Daily Mirror even suggesting that the Colombian could face them and then join them straight after.
Elsewhere, it is claimed that they will try to seal a deal to bring loan star Emmanuel Adebayor in on a permanent basis for a fee of around £8 million, while there are murmurs that Harry Redknapp will make one last push for Blackburn pair Chris Samba and Junior Hoilett.
In addition to Adebayor, Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini may see the back of another outcast before the 23:00 deadline. No, not Carlos Tevez, despite QPR following Liverpool and West Ham in kindly offering to take him on loan, but Wayne Bridge, who is believed to be Sunderland-bound.
Other speculation doing the rounds is that Arsenal will provide Newcastle with some competition by joining the race to sign Watford defender Adrian Mariappa. The Sun suspect that the Hornets will let him leave for a sum of just £2 million, having previously demanded £4 million.
There could be several strikers on the move, with QPR close to completing the capture of Djibril Cisse within a week of him ending a horrific goal drought at Lazio, and Fulham talking to Stuttgart's Pavel Pogrebnyak, who made his name as a hero of Zenit's triumphant 2007-08 UEFA Cup side.
In the Championship, Southampton [[6.2]] have confirmed the arrival of Doncaster goal-getter Billy Sharp, with leaders West Ham [[2.06]] expected to react by swooping for Barnsley's Ricardo Vaz Te, increasingly their ex-Bolton ranks. Rather more exciting is the gossip that they will land highly-rated Manchester United youngster Ravel Morrison.
