Tottenham are hoping to bolster their attack by bringing in a new striker.
Tottenham are willing to splash the cash in the ongoing transfer window. The Lilywhites have shown no hesitation in backing Roberto de Zerbi and demonstrating their ambition in the market, adopting a fresh approach that has been widely welcomed by the supporters. They have already secured the signatures of several Premier League-proven players during the opening weeks of the transfer window, including Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Martin Dubravka.
It comes as no surprise that the North Londoners are also looking to strengthen their attack in the coming months. After scoring just 48 goals in the Premier League last season, signing a new striker has become a necessity for Spurs. Reinforcing the forward line would give the Lilywhites a stronger chance of securing European football next season while also helping them compete at the top end of the league table.
Richarlison finished as the club’s top scorer last season, netting 12 goals in all competitions for the Lilywhites. However, the Brazilian’s injury record speaks for itself, and there are significant concerns that he may not be available for large parts of the campaign. Meanwhile, Randal Kolo Muani has left N17 and returned to PSG following an underwhelming loan spell that saw him score just one league goal throughout the season. As a result, bringing in attacking reinforcements should be a priority for the North Londoners.
Tottenham targeting West Ham star Jarrod Bowen but they could miss him out to PL rivals
Tottenham are hoping to sign a new striker who can compete with Dominic Solanke and Richarlison for a place in the starting eleven. Having finished as only the 12th-highest scoring team in the Premier League last season, the Lilywhites must ensure their attack is packed with quality as they aim to compete at the top end of the league table under Roberto de Zerbi for the first time in three years. As a result, the fans will be hoping that the Lewis family continue to show ambition in the transfer market over the coming months.
Recent reports have linked Spurs with West Ham star Jarrod Bowen. The England international finished last season with nine goals and 11 assists, proving he has the quality to take the next step in his career following the Hammers’ relegation from the top flight. However, the same report claims that the Stratford-based club will not consider offers below the £50m asking price.
To make matters worse, Spurs are now facing the prospect of missing out on the 29-year-old following the latest transfer developments. According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham target Jarrod Bowen now prefers a move to Everton if he decides to leave the London Stadium in the near future. His close relationship with David Moyes is reportedly the decisive factor, as he is keen to reunite with the Toffees boss next season. As a result, the Lilywhites may now have to turn their attention to alternative targets.
There are limited options available in the transfer market that could immediately elevate the quality of the attack at N17. With that in mind, Spurs should still put all their eggs in one basket and do everything possible to lure Bowen to North London with an attractive offer that would be difficult to reject. The opportunity to play under Roberto de Zerbi and potentially challenge for silverware could persuade the Lilywhites to secure the 29-year-old’s signature if they play their cards right before the transfer window closes.
