Tottenham had a record-breaking summer in the last transfer window as they became the first team ever to go through the transfer window without making a single signing.
However, new reports have thrown more light on their business dealings and it appears that the Lilywhites did not want it to be that way always.
Fresh reports from Goal claim that Tottenham did attempt to sign a striker on deadline day but failed in their attempt.
According to the reports, the Lilywhites made a £25 million move for Tammy Abraham, but Chelsea turned down their offer before the transfer window was shut.
Abraham has been one of the success stories of the Blues famed academy and the club believe that he has a future with them.
Spurs wanted Abraham who has spent the last two seasons away on loan to help Harry Kane with the goalscoring burden, something Vincent Jansen and Diego Llorente have both failed to do so far.
