Tottenham have only a handful of days left to wrap up any remaining transfer business for Thomas Frank, with deadline day fast approaching \u2014 and one potential deal now looks completely off the cards.<\/p>\n
Any late bid for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones appears to be over after the Reds firmly ruled out a January exit for the academy graduate. Spurs are understood to have made contact with Liverpool earlier this month to explore a possible move.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have also rejected a loan approach from Inter Milan submitted on Friday. The Premier League champions are unwilling to let Jones leave on a temporary basis, particularly while his contract situation remains unresolved.<\/p>\n
Inter had been assessing their options as they prepared for a potential transfer involving Davide Frattesi and Nottingham Forest. However, according to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool have no plans to approve any departures from Arne Slot\u2019s squad before the window closes.<\/p>\n
Jones has featured 29 times in all competitions this season, registering one assist. The 25-year-old has demonstrated his adaptability throughout the campaign, operating not only in central midfield but also filling in at right-back when required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
