Tottenham are keen to bring in a creative attacker in the summer
Tottenham’s lack of urgency in the January transfer window has significantly backfired on the club. The Lilywhites were clearly in need of reinforcements to strengthen the squad for the second half of the campaign. Instead, the Lewis family chose not to invest in players capable of improving the team as the club continued to struggle in domestic competitions. The North Londoners only managed to bring in Conor Gallagher, who, in all honesty, has struggled to find his footing since arriving on a long-term deal.
It is crucial that the Lilywhites maximise their resources in the upcoming transfer window and fully back Roberto de Zerbi in the market. The Italian tactician needs to build a team capable of competing consistently at the top end of the table in the future. Spurs have done well to appoint a world-class manager willing to remain committed to the club through difficult times. However, the North Londoners must also ensure they provide him with the players he wants by investing heavily in the coming months.
Spurs are severely lacking a creative attacker capable of consistently carving out chances in the final third. With James Maddison returning from an ACL injury and Wilson Odobert sidelined for several months, it is vital that the North Londoners recruit a new attacker who can seamlessly slot into the starting eleven under Roberto de Zerbi next season. Only then will the Lilywhites be in a position to challenge for major honours while playing the kind of free-flowing, attacking football they aspire to deliver.
Tottenham trying hard to land Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers
Tottenham are determined to back Roberto de Zerbi in the upcoming transfer window once the club secures its Premier League status for next season. The Lilywhites are prepared to invest heavily in new additions as they look to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign. With James Maddison strongly linked with a move to Coventry City and Dejan Kulusevski still recovering from an undisclosed injury, it is essential that the North Londoners identify a potential replacement capable of stepping straight into the starting eleven at N17.
Recent reports have linked Spurs with Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers. The Lilywhites have been monitoring him for some time and believe the England international could be tempted to switch clubs if the right opportunity arises in the coming months. The North Londoners reportedly view him as their “dream target”, believing Rogers to be the ideal long-term solution to the club’s attacking issues.
Spurs, however, may need to spend heavily if they are to land the 23-year-old in the upcoming transfer window. As per TEAMtalk, Aston Villa will only consider letting Rogers leave if they receive an offer in excess of £100m for his services. The England international’s long-term deal at Villa Park does not include a release clause, giving the West Midlands club the freedom to demand a substantial fee. Any bid below the nine-figure mark is expected to be dismissed by the Villains in the summer.
This leaves the Lilywhites in a difficult position as they continue to assess the market. Spurs should avoid overpaying for Morgan Rogers, as there is no guarantee the England international would justify such an investment in the long term. As a result, it is important that the North Londoners also consider alternative options as they look to close the gap on their rivals next season. The club must back Roberto de Zerbi in the summer, but that does not mean spending recklessly on players who may or may not deliver an immediate impact.
