Tottenham Hotspur are ready to break the bank to sign a new number nine and bolster their attack ahead of next season.
According to a report by Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur want to reinforce their attack in the upcoming summer transfer window. The North London club want to sign a top-quality striker and they are ready to spend big to fulfil the objective.
Ange Postecoglou keen on a new star striker
Ange Postecoglou has had a great start at Spurs. The Australian manager has got them playing an exciting attacking brand of football. And, on the back of his impressive first season, the club are now ready to back him in the transfer window.
The North London club parted ways with Harry Kane last summer. While they did raise significant funds from his transfer to Bayern Munich, Tottenham decided against signing a replacement. Despite that, they haven’t really had any difficulty up top.
Heung-min Son has led the line for them in the majority of their fixtures and he has done a great job. The South Korean international has scored 15 goals and has eight assists in his 28 games in all competitions.
Richarlison has also contributed towards 11 goals in the ongoing season. Despite the performance of their attacking duo, Postecoglou is keen on signing a new top-class striker.
A long-term replacement for Harry Kane
People at the club don’t look at Richarlison as a long-term replacement for Harry Kane and are looking to bring in a striker with the potential to replace their record goal scorer in the long term.
They have already started the hunt for their new forward and have been linked with a few world-class strikers. Spurs feel bringing in a new number nine will not just bolster their ranks, it will help them take the next step under Postecoglou and challenge for major titles starting next season.
As a result, they have set aside big funds to land a top-quality forward at the club in the summer. The North London club are laying the groundwork to sign a new marquee striker and they are willing to break the bank to do so.
