Lots has happened in the world since Spurs last signed someone.

It's now been a year since Tottenham Hotspur last signed a player.

Spurs signed Brazilian international, Lucas Moura, from Paris St Germain for £24 million on January 31st 2018.

They have had to cut back on spending because they're currently building a new stadium.

However, over two transfer windows, Tottenham are the only Premier League team to not bring in a player.

So, what's happened in the world while Spurs have been standing still?
