Tottenham finished fifth in the league last season and they missed out on a place in the Champions League in the final few weeks.
Their form dropped at the latter stage of last season and Aston Villa beat them to a fourth placed finish, costing Ange Postecoglou’s team a place in Europe’s elite competition.
After losing their star man Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, Spurs were expected to struggle but under Postecoglou, they showed they can deal with the loss of Kane and still play attacking, attractive football.
Son Heung-min, supported by players like James Maddison and Richarlison, performed exceptionally well and took the leadership role at the club.
The arrival of manager Postecoglou elevated the level of some of the players and under his leadership, the North Londoners are heading in the right direction.
However, they need new signings to keep up with their Premier League rivals, who have all strengthen their squad this summer.
Spurs have managed to sign Archie Gray from Tottenham to bolster their midfielder while also extending Timo Werner’s loan deal.
More signings are expected to arrive soon and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed it, saying that he expects the Premier League club to be busy.
The transfer specialist revealed on Playback:
“I expect Tottenham to be active and busy in the transfer market next week.”
It remains to be seen who they will sign in the coming week. It could well be a new striker as they are actively looking to make addition in the attacking position.
Tottenham are looking for a new striker this summer
Spurs have been linked with a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney while Bournemouth attacker Dominic Solanke has also been mentioned.
Toney’s contract at Brentford expires next summer, which makes it easier for Spurs to sign him now as Brentford are willing to let him leave now instead of losing him for free next year.
Solanke made 41 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring 21 goals and he could be a worthy addition to the Spurs attack.
If Postecoglou can get his hands on one of the two strikers mentioned above, he would be happy with his business and that would make Spurs a force to be feared next season.
So no news whatsoever. A complete non story
Solanke can go eat as$ he’s crap n not what we need David or gimenez levy at his best but yous clown that still go each week yous r cause of this too if u stayed away for few weeks numbers come down levy has to answer to the Rothschild n he will sell up or have to change this last min lowball crao has never worked for us timo prime example of a recent one gray isn’t the answer neither is bergwill they need time at-least to settle timo isn’t answer Ange is a yes man like they all become only two that said screw u levy is conte n mou the rest just sit n take it there’s a reason why we can’t get top top mangers in we need to take a chance on crap n hope it works like we do with players the odd one like Micky n destine don’t come around that much as why so many have left wake the hell up spurs fans
Scoring in other leagues does not mean they can score in the Premier league. Spurs were found out with Soldaldo and Janssen. While Solanke may not be a marquee signing, he is home grown and have Premier league experience. The same with Toney. The rest are a gamble risk.
Personally, Solanke is not my choice as he is way too expensive but if Ange wants him, I can go along with him.
I haven’t a clue as to what you just said as it made no sense at all. But good job little buddy. Keep trying. You’ll get there soon
What a load of useless garbage
Does anyone seriously consider Solanke to be a marquee signing? Or in the mould of a truly quality player capable of filling HK’s shoes. I’m sorry but for me this smacks of the usual surrounding speculation of genuine quality and then followed by the disappointment of an atypical Levy-esque compromise, leading finally to ensuing disappointment amongst long suffering and disenchanted fans. Nothing really changes at Tottenham, not when we have a chairman who will always settle for second best.
Great Point! there’s no real quality centre forwards around, they all think that if you have a good season then everyone now think your a great striker, proper strikers has atleast 3 years consistently been scoring 20 plus!
I think personally we should go for Jonathan David of lille, proven goal scorer, and a no brainer for that price.
I would’ve agreed on the Levy comments b4 Ange joined,not now,with Munn Lange+Ange controlling transfers.I’m not convinced about Solanke,Toney would suit but the one I really want is Kyogo.He scores goals in ANY league he’s been in+fits AngeBall.
Spot on Pez. We have weeks of the usual Levy propoganda and like mugs we swallow it.
Then the season starts and we end up with 3rd or 4th choice players.
Ange will be gone by Christmas as Levy fails to adequately back him. The youngsters are good but we need 3/4 Premiership players with experience in addition to what we have.
Solanke wouldnt even be my 4th choice to be honest but Bournemouth want 60 million and Levy wants to bid £42.5!!!
absolutely agree.
what about Viktor Gyökeres? he has the best goals/games record last year
For me, Solanke NOT worth the money that Bournemouth want. I’m NOT sure about Toney’s worth or “background” either. Maybe Jonathan David although unproven in the PL. Cjhiesa I’m NOT sure about either.
Yes victor gyokeres would be the best choice for Tottenham Hotspur football club providing they could reach an agreement we supporting Lisbon
