Tottenham’s Japhet Tanganga joins Millwall on loan until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old Tanganga is expected to return after a disastrous loan spell at Augsburg, as he did not make a single appearance for the German club.
The versatile defender, who can play in all four rows, is now expected to link up with the injured Lions and could train with his new club as early as Thursday.
Augsburg loaned Tanganga with an option to buy in the summer, but injury and a change of manager left him well down the pecking order.
His contract expires at the end of the season, but Spurs have the option to extend his contract for one more year.
Millwall have changed their style of play under new coach Joe Edwards, who was appointed in November, and now play a passing style of football more similar to that of Spurs under Ange Postecoglou.
Edwards said he needs more players and wants to add more than one new player this month.
“We’re not going to spend millions, the club is really well and sensibly run financially, but I would definitely like to strengthen,” he said this week.
“I’ve wanted that before, but if you see our bench in the last few games, in this period we’ve had with injuries … There have been certain games this season – the last two, ‘Boro and Leicester – when in the 60th, 70th minute and looking at the passes that these teams make, you are reminded of the depth that these teams have.
“We’ve worked hard, it’s clear it’s not easy, but hopefully by the end there will be some activity. I would hope that by the end of the window we will have done at least one or two.
