Spurs On the Hunt for New Striker After Setbacks

London, UKThu Jan 23 2025
Tottenham Hotspur are still in the market for a new forward, even after missing out on Ange Postecoglou's top pick, Randal Kolo Muani. The French player, known for his versatility on the field, decided to join Serie A's Juventus on a loan deal. Spurs need to act quickly, as they're currently in a tricky spot in the Premier League, sitting at 15th place after 22 games. Their latest setback was the injury of Dominic Solanke, their £65 million signing, who got hurt just before a match against Everton. Spurs' recruitment team is now scrambling to find a suitable replacement. A new forward is crucial, especially with Solanke out for a few weeks and Richarlison's history of injuries. The club was confident they could secure Kolo Muani, but he chose to play in the Champions League with Juve instead. Reports suggest Spurs are interested in Wolverhampton Wanderers' forward Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian player has been doing well this season with 10 goals and 4 assists in 21 Premier League games. He could cost around £60 million, but Spurs have been admiring him for a while. Another name on Spurs' radar is Liam Delap, who's been impressing at Ipswich Town. The 21-year-old English striker joined from Manchester City last July for £20 million and has scored 8 goals in 21 league games. Ipswich might not be ready to let him go for less than £40 million, with Chelsea also showing interest.
