Tottenham identify major January priority after spending more than £300m

Sources have indicated that Spurs are not considering a move for the former Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain striker, despite reports linking him with the club. Registration restrictions also complicate any immediate move for the free agent.

Instead, Tottenham are expected to focus on the market when the January window opens, with a proven striker seemingly high on their recruitment agenda.

After such significant summer expenditure, player sales could therefore prove crucial to the club’s plans. It remains to be seen which members of De Zerbi’s squad will be moved on and who ultimately arrives in North London.
