Spurs always leave it late don't they.

Everyone suspected the Lucas Moura deal was done and dusted but they didn't officially announce it until just before their game last night leaving a few fans a bit nervy.

The Brazil international showed serious promise in his early years but lost his way a bit at Paris Saint-Germain as he fell down the pecking order.

Moura, 25, offers the perfect width for Spurs with his pace and trickery.

The £25million man will have a lovely time knowing Harry Kane is on hand to finish all of the crosses he provides.

You can get him on the cheap at £3.5million and he will more than make up for it with the amount of assists this season.

6th Olivier Giroud

Who do you call when you need a backup striker?

Olivier Giroud of course - he has 25 scored more goals than any other Arsenal player since 2012 and is the definition of a super sub.

Chelsea fans will be relieved to see France's starting striker wearing the no.18 shirt instead of Peter Crouch, Ashley Barnes or whichever other tall man Antonio Conte fancied.

Giroud has accrued 59 points this season, mostly from the subs bench, but at a cost of just £3.6million he represents the perfect back up striker in your dream team.

Just over 1% of managers have Giroud in their team but his game high for this season of 13 shows he can still bag a haul.

This move could make or break Ross Barkley and so far it looks like its breaking him.

The young midfielder has played three times for Chelsea already but hasn't managed a single point.

His highest rating from WhoScored.com of 6.33 came against Arsenal on his debut.

But there is a caveat, Barkley had been injured for so long at Everton that it might take him a while to get back to playing at his best.

Ranking: Don't give up hope on the England man
