Tottenham have made a last-gasp attempt to sign defender Trevoh Chalobah.
Spurs joined Nottingham Forest in the race to sign the 24-year-old after missing out on Blues Chelsea team-mate Conor Gallagher.
But time was running out for a deal to be completed before the transfer deadline.
Though not quite as prolific as they were following their promotion campaign, Steve Cooper’s side have welcomed a number of new arrivals this summer including Anthony Elanga, Matt Turner and Chris Wood.

Chalobah’s planned move to Bayern Munich fell through after the German transfer window closed at 5pm.
Thomas Tuchel’s side had been looking at a loan move for the Chelsea defender, but will be unable to complete the move.
The Bayern boss is believed to be a big fan of the 24-year-old after giving him his debut during his spell at Stamford Bridge.
Despite making 33 appearances in all competitions last summer, Chalobah has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.
A hamstring injury curtailed Chalobah’s pre-season preparations while Mauricio Pochettino has overseen an influx of new signings after been named the club’s new boss in May.
The defender is keen for a move away from his boyhood club, and Chelsea are equally eager to complete the deal as long as their valuation is met.
