Wednesday night’s victory over Southampton ensured Tottenham recorded their highest ever Premier League points haul in a calendar year as they secured their 71st point of 2016.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side now sit one-point behind north London rivals Arsenal in the table as they look to secure Champions League football for the second successive season.

Spurs are also ten points behind leaders Chelsea, a gap which Pochettino still believes they can close, and his side could look to strengthen once the transfer window opens.

Tottenham bid for the Crystal Palace attacker in the summer but were knocked back. Their interest in him remains strong and they could make another approach during the January window, though it is unlikely Palace's stance would change at this juncture.
