Gards seems to think that Kovacic could be a possibility. Not sure if that’s opinion or itk knowledge
JJ says Zaha is unlikely.

I watch a bit of inter (they were the first team I loved - C4 back in the day).
Brozovic is talented but has been hugely inconsistent and there have been concerns about his attitude. He is a #8.
Kovacic has a far better attitude and whilst I haven’t seen much of him at Madrid, at inter he was gravy. Very disappointed to see him leave. Beautiful to watch and can play a number of different roles. Would be delighted to give him Minutes. Spurs fans will love him.
Said pretty much the same a few pages back. Kovacic would be my number one target this window, he is an excellent talent and has a lot of potential. Also he can play as an 8 or a 10. Physicaly speaking he is perfect for the PL and I'm very impressed how much he has upped his work rate since going to RM, which was always my worry at Inter.I watch a bit of inter (they were the first team I loved - C4 back in the day).

Yes, he’s quite good at that tooPass
It just makes too much sense. Absolute perfect fit.
I would build a church in Levy’s honour if he gets this done. And the church bells will bare his face upon their ends and will ring out each and every match day until the final syllable of timeIt just makes too much sense. Absolute perfect fit.
I wouldn't read into it. I think Gards gets info but certainly isn't as close as others. I think those players are purely his dream list and what he believes to be attainable but it's clear to me that those aren't the players who are close.Hard to read on Gards tweets, says kovacic, zaha and Grealish are realistic and in a seperate tweet with no names says we are close to deals.
Lamela could do a decent job as 9/ false 9I've been advocating the need for another attacking player all summer with the feeling that we can sign a solid if not spectacular midfielder due to money etc. For example Martial plus Gomes or something of that ilk.
Now with us seemingly getting more and more desperate in an attacking sense perhaps it's time to change tactic and just go all out for Kovacic whilst forgetting about another attacker. Use that money we were prepared to use on an attacker and combine it with the reserves for a midfielder and overpay for Kovacic.
In Harry's absence we can use Son and Lamela (like against Chelsea) but at the same time we'll have much more creativity. I'd still be happy with my original though but it does like we have pushed this beyond the limit and I'd rather do this then go buy a cheap attacking alternative.

I think he would too. He'd have the defenders on their toes, he's got great movement and his tenacity would make it hard for teams to play out from the back. Quite good in the air too. His finishing is a worry of course but he may be able to create space for others.Lamela could do a decent job as 9/ false 9
Agree about Lamela in an MF3- I’m glad we’re keeping him. His versatility, tenacity and passing are decent assetsThink Lamela would do an even better job in a midfield 3 - always thought his finishing was pretty poor but tenacity and creativity is always top notch...
Anyway, on Kovacic I reckon we’ll be linked on deadline day and look to pull something off
Exactly- there are goals throughout the attacking fulcrum of this sideI think he would too. He'd have the defenders on their toes, he's got great movement and his tenacity would make it hard for teams to play out from the back. Quite good in the air too. His finishing is a worry of course but he may be able to create space for others.
