Tottenham are set to prioritise the signing of a new striker in the January transfer window. Sources indicate that the London club sees strengthening their attacking depth as essential to provide competition for Dominic Solanke.
The Englishman played all 90 minutes in the Premier League clash against Manchester United, scoring a late equaliser that sent positive signals. However, Spurs need to ensure that Solanke can consistently perform and find the back of the net.
Tottenham are among the clubs monitoring Brugge's Nicolo Tresoldi, and sources confirm that the Londoners are weighing up options ahead of the opening of the January window, with bolstering their attack firmly on the agenda.
Solanke's next opportunity to sharpen his form comes with a match against Coventry City on Monday. The club hierarchy must take into account the possibility of increased investment in the forward line, especially if they aim to gain more reliability and depth in attack.
A high-profile forward signing may demand significant financial outlay. The potential cost of such a deal could influence other areas Spurs can enhance in January.
In addition to the attack, the club is also considering signing a right-back to provide extra competition and depth in that position. This means the hierarchy will need to distribute the budget across multiple areas.
Such restrictions may complicate efforts to bring in another central midfielder. Tottenham have already spent considerable sums in the summer on squad renovations, and they now need to determine which transfers will bring the most benefit to the team.
