Tottenham are keen to land a striker in this transfer window as Ange Postecoglou feels this is a key area to strengthen this summer.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham have identified a key area in the team that Ange Postecoglou wants to strengthen this summer. Spurs are keen to land a top striker before the end of the window, as the club might be evaluating its options ahead.
Tottenham want a new striker
Tottenham were one of the exciting sides at the start of last season, but Ange Postecoglou had to deal with major limitations that saw them finish outside of the top four. At the beginning of the previous campaign, Son Heung-min played the striker’s role and p[proved decisive for the manager.
However, Postecoglou may have wanted more support for the South Korean and put plenty of faith in misfiring star Richarlison. The Brazilian may have had a better campaign than his debut outing for Spurs, but overall, for a striker of his quality, he underwhelmed in a big way, which may have ended up costing the team a place in the Champions League.
Hence, Tottenham’s need for a top-draw striker won’t come as a surprise for many, as Postecoglou will have spoken in the background about a need for a player in that position. Spurs are eager to sign a new No.9 before the close of this window, although the prospects of a swift deal remain out of hand at this stage of the window.
Whether they are able to get a player that improves Postecoglou’s current side, as this is a competitive market outside, some of the best teams are all vying for a big striker to join their ranks. Tottenham have made financial arrangements to get a player in place before the end of the window.
Spurs’ striker targets in this window
Over the last few months, it has become clear that Spurs want a striker, and many names have been linked during this period. There were reports of an offer for Ivan Toney, with the Brentford star currently a favourite to leave his current club and make the switch to a bigger side, probably even Tottenham.
Viktor Gyokeres has also been linked in the recent past, although his humongous price point might become an issue for them or other interested parties. Overall, some more definitive names might come into the light in the future, meaning there’s still no clarity on a preferred name that Postecoglou might want.
