Opinion: Spurs keen on 23 y/o striker…but £10m Everton target would still be a better option
Despite signing a striker on loan in the summer transfer window, it seems Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho is still looking to add another forward to his ranks in January. Spurs recovered brilliantly from their opening day defeat against Everton, and have won six of their last eight, dropping points against West Ham and Newcastle United. Their impressive form has seen them move to the top of the Premier League table, where they are ahead of champions Liverpool on goal difference. In order to successfully mount a title challenge, Mourinho could delve into the transfer market once again, and signing a striker could be one on his priorities. Carlo Vinicius joined in the summer on a season-long loan, and although he has impressed in the Europa League, his slow start to life at his new...

The former Liverpool midfielder is a traditional number ten who will add creativity and technique in the final third for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. He is an excellent set-piece taker as well. That said, the Toffees decided to sign James Rodriguez from Real Madrid during the summer transfer window and he has been quite impressive for them so ...
