Tottenham's Transfer Tussle: Can They Sign a Top-Scorer?

Tottenham Hotspur have been the biggest spenders in the Premier League this summer, splashing out nearly £250m on seven new players. However, despite their efforts, the north London club still need to address their goal-scoring issues.

The Problem with Tottenham's Top Scorers

Tottenham have made a habit of losing their top scorers in recent seasons. Before last season, each of their top scorers from the previous three campaigns have left the club. These were Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min, and Brennan Johnson. The club's 20-goal strikers? Richarlison and Dominic Solanke are their main talismen, but they may not be enough to push the team higher up the table.

The Need for a 20-Goal Striker

TalkSPORT hosts Carlton Cole and Adam Catterall believe that Tottenham need an elite-level goalscorer to challenge for the Premier League title. They point out that the club have made a serious push in the transfer market, but still need to address their goal-scoring issues. Cole added: "They need a 20 goal a season striker. There's not many in the world, is there?"

Ivan Toney and Harry Kane: The Top Targets

Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Ivan Toney, who has scored 72 goals in 93 games for Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League. However, they may also try to bring back Harry Kane, who has 146 goals in 147 games for Bayern Munich. Kane has one year left on his contract, but is expected to sign an extension.

A Left-Sided Player: The Main Target

Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's manager, is looking to sign a left-sided player to strengthen the team. Savinho and Cody Gakpo have been linked with the club, but Man City's Savinho is the most likely incoming.

Can Tottenham Sign a Top-Scorer?

Tottenham's transfer tussle is far from over. With nearly £250m spent and several players still to arrive, the club are in a strong position to sign a top-scorer. However, it remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right player to challenge for the Premier League title.
