The club hopes to make at least one new signing before the transfer window shuts on Monday, as they continue talks over a deal for Porto winger Luis Diaz.
Sky Sports News reported earlier this week that Spurs were in talks with Porto and were willing to pay up to 46 million dollars for Diaz.
Sources in Portugal claim that Spurs are prepared to offer 38.6m up front for Diaz, with an additional 9.2m in performance-related add-ons.
Porto are holding out for a fee of 50.2m for the 25-year-old, who has 16 goals and six assists in 28 games for the Portuguese side this season.
Regardless of whether they sell Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele, or Giovani lo Celso, Spurs are hoping to bring in at least one new signing this month, even if that means doing more work to the squad.
Spurs and Alli are still looking for a suitable player that will allow them to play regular games and try to revive Alli's best form, although it is possible that they will find an option once they have a new manager.

There are talks over a possible move to either Paris Saint-Germain or Valencia.
There is no concrete option yet for Lo Celso.
Despite interest from AC Milan, the defender is expected to stay in north London this month.
The 22-year-old was told by the head coach that he wants him in the squad after his recent performances.
Spurs are concentrating their efforts on improving other areas of the team, and there is not any new centre-backs on the market for them this month that may have allowed Tanganga to go.
In the long-term, Conte would like to bring in another top left-footed centre-half.

Joe Rodon could leave on a loan to get more game time before the window closes, but he doesn't have a concrete option.

Spurs fans have been here before. In the summer of 2012 there were even Joao Moutinho and Bruno Fernandes. They were close to being men. The big-name signings the club were set to make fell through.
The false dawns have become all too familiar for Spurs fans and they are not likely to settle for another repeat with Porto's Luis Diaz, nor will head coach Conte.
The next two windows are crucial for the future of the Italian at Spurs. Spurs have the chance to get back into the top flight and start competing for honours. Spurs will not drift further from the elite if they fail to match his ambition.
Daniel Levy is serious about backing Conte. It would be 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465, which would be the second-most expensive signing in Spurs history.
The move makes sense on the field. Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son have scored 56 per cent of the team's goals in the Premier League since the start of last season. In 37 appearances for club and country this season, Diaz has scored 20 goals, and he could bring the extra firepower to the squad.
There is no doubt that he would be a great signing. Spurs fans have been here before, and until he is wearing the shirt, they will continue to question the club's commitment in backing the best manager they could possibly have right now.
His headline stat in the Portuguese Primeira Liga this season suggests he provides serious goal threat, but also offers so much more.
The winger ranks top for goals, shots and touches in the opposition box and is among the elite for winning back possession in the final third and attempting fast breaks.
The top five per cent of wingers in Europe's top leagues hit the outer rim across a raft of attacking metrics, according to the radar graphic below.
The maps below show his goal threat in the past two seasons and show that he is the most potent from his left channel.
His most striking attribute is participation in overall play, with above-average numbers for passes in the final third, but the graphic below suggests he also tracks back to support the team.
When looking at his goal and passing averages, he emerges among an elite group of players in Europe's top leagues, with returns on par with Benzema and Salah.
His heat map shows his work-rate with a lot of activity in his defensive half, while his ability to get possession high up the pitch would suit a high-press style.
The clock is not running. The transfer window closes at 11pm on January 31.
