Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly trying to rework their signing of Juventus forward Paulo Dybala as a loan deal.
The 25-year-old appeared set for a move to North London on deadline day after a £64.4m fee was agreed for his signature, although the Italian side are said to have pulled out of talks at the eleventh hour amid a dispute over the player's wages and image rights.
According to The Independent, however, Spurs are now desperately attempting to revive the deal as a season-long loan with an obligation to buy next summer.
The issue of the Argentine's image rights still remains a "very difficult" obstacle to getting a deal over the line but the newspaper says that "all sides are working hard to try and make it happen".
All other terms are now believed to have been agreed, with Dybala keen to unite with his countryman Mauricio Pochettino and Juve keen to get him off their wage bill during the current transfer window.
Spurs are also hopeful of completing deals for Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon and Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso before the 5pm deadline.
