Tottenham have been interested in signing Randal Kolo Muani from PSG this winter, as the out-of-form French striker is one of the hottest No. 9's available this January. Kolo Muani was one of the best strikers in Europe during the 2022/23 season with Eintracht Frankfurt, leading to a whopping 95 million euro transfer to PSG the following summer. He has been unable to come close to meeting that valuation, but several top Premier League teams interested in a striker, including Tottenham, believe he can be a solution and show his best level in a counterattacking system in what is becoming a more expansive English top flight. Tottenham just spent 60 million pounds on a No. 9 in Dominic Solanke, but they'd like to get more goal-scoring power from their forwards. Richarlison is a nonfac...

Tottenham are shockingly in the bottom half of the Premier League table, but a recent 1-0 League Cup victory over league leaders Liverpool gives Ange Postecoglou's men hope of a turnaround in the second half of the season. The problem is that Spurs will need to make more moves in the January transfer window in order to ensure that they can even compete for European places again, as the summer signing of Dominic Solanke has proven inadequate in solving the team's attacking woes. Solanke himself has been one of the best Premier League strikers this season, but he's not much of a goal-scorer and there's been a lack of scoring around him, leading to the team's interest in PSG transfer flop Randal Kolo Muani. In order to sign Kolo Muani, Tottenham are going to need to make space for hi...

Tottenham spent 60 million pounds this past summer in order to sign Dominic Solanke as a well-rounded focal point to the Spurs attack who could help Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min more involved on the scoresheet. So far, the investment has had mixed results. While Solanke has been very good from an all-around perspective, the goals on the wings have been slow to come by, and Solanke isn't much of a primary scorer either with less than a goal every two games. Meanwhile, Tottenham are still nowhere near getting a true foothold on a European place, much less a spot in the top four, which was their obvious goal coming into the 2024/25 season after finishing fifth to Aston Villa last year. So Tottenham are in the market for some more attacking firepower this January, and one of the...

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. So Tottenham are looking for some additional goal-scoring with Son Heung-min slow off the block with 5 goals in 17 games and Solanke offering a different skill-set to that of a normal striker. There are options at the 9, like Randal Kolo Muani, but they, like Solanke, are expensive and therefore not without risk. So Tottenham could look to make a splash by going a less orthodox route. According to a ...

Tottenham made a big statement on Wednesday night in the League Cup, outlasting Liverpool 1-0 to win the first leg of the semifinals behind some excellent midfield play, including a goal from Lucas Bergvall, and a brilliant assist from hold-up-play maven Dominic Solanke. The 65 million pound man came to Tottenham with a huge point to prove at that bloated price point, but Solanke has quickly become one of the most important players on Tottenham. Though Spurs have struggled this season compared to expectations and last season's fifth-placed finish, Solanke has been as-advertised as an all-around centerpiece who brings others into the game. That said, Tottenham are having trouble scoring the volume of goals they were hoping for, and that has led to them showing an interest in strike...

Tottenham just saw one of their best midfielders, Rodrigo Bentancur, go down with what seemed like a serious injury in the early minutes of their eventual 1-0 League Cup triumph over Premier League leaders Liverpool. Spurs have a few quality pieces in midfield in converted winger Dejan Kulusevski, young prospects Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, rising star Pape Sarr, and box-to-box worker Yves Bissouma. But there's a general feeling that in order to get back to the Champions League level, Tottenham need to make a big splash in the midfield by signing someone who can both defend and make plays. According to a report from Diario AS in Spain, Tottenham, as well as Fulham, are pushing harder than any other clubs in the Premier League to bring Douglas Luiz back to English football. ...
