Tottenham have five different players with at least five goals scored, but they don't have a single player with 10 goals in the first half of the 2024/25 Premier League season. Dominic Solanke has been an all-around success at striker for Spurs, but his seven goals in 17 starts are a below-average return and don't even represent the team lead, as No. 10 James Maddison has scored 8.
