In the impending summer transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur is rumored to be interested in signing a center-forward, and a long list of number nines has also been connected to a move to White Hart Lane.
Harry Kane, the forward who departed N17 to seek better opportunities with Bayern Munich last summer, has not yet been replaced by the North Londoners. The likely departure of Richarlison and the exit of the England international mean that the Lilywhites will need to sign a new number nine during the off-season.
Due to the former Everton great’s injury issues, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou attempted to use South Korean star Son in the center of the field this season. To be honest, though, it was a bit touch-and-go putting the 31-year-old striker forward.
This offseason, the Australian coach will be trying to bolster the team’s goal-scoring capacity. Bryan King, a former Tottenham scout, has advised the team to recruit Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins in the summer instead of pursuing Dominic Solanke and other strikers. He is adamant that Watkins-caliber striker is what Tottenham needs to advance.
I would advise Tottenham to sell Richarlison if they receive a substantial offer for him from Saudi Arabia, King stated. “And why aren’t they looking at Watkins if they’re looking at Solanke?” If they wish to advance, that is the kind of player they must be aiming for.
