Having failed to sign a single player during the last two transfer windows, there's plenty of work to be done at Tottenham this summer. Mauricio Pochettino's side remain competitive when it comes to the Premier League's top four and even had their hand in the title race earlier this season, but to sustain or even improve that level, reinforcements are clearly needed.

With that in mind, Football FanCast's writers have attempted to answer a simple question - which position do Tottenham need to strengthen most during the summer transfer window? Read their verdicts below...

James Beavis - Attacking Midfield

"Bringing in some competition for Dele Alli. With Christian Eriksen off-colour and potentially leaving the club in the summer given his contract situation, Tottenham are lacking some real creativity through the middle. They really missed the England international when he was injured and it gives Mauricio Pochettino a big problem ahead of the upcoming transfer window. Spurs can't rely on Alli all of the time and they need some extra quality there. In addition, doing that would reduce Harry Kane's work rate, seeing as he wouldn't have to continually drop deep to try and make things happen."

Billy Meyers - Right-Back

"Right-back. 100%. Even though Tottenham have three recognised options such as Kieran Trippier, Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters in that department, none of them have shown that they can be relied on this season - it is an area that is in desperate need of reinforcing. Pochettino's preference to see his wing-backs bomb up and down the flanks, something that is a huge feature of Spurs' play, should mean that the full-back areas are prioritised above others, with the right hand side of defence the more problematic of the two wide berths."

Jack Saville - Central Midfield

"It’s obvious that Pochettino is crying out for a world class central midfield player, someone who can connect the dots and take the club to the next level. Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko have been outstanding this season but collectively they form something of an underdog partnership rather than a formidable title-winning duo. Quality central midfielders are rarely prised away for anything less than a premium price, but Daniel Levy simply must splash out to give fans the marquee signing they deserve."

Christy Malyan - The Flanks

"Pochettino seems to prefer setting up his side to clog more central positions, to the extent that the width is usually provided by the full-backs, but if Tottenham wish to get to that higher level where they're genuinely challenging the Premier League's best, they need a Plan B - an attacker who looks to hug the touchline and stretch defences rather than constantly drifting inwards. Only Heung-min Son really offers that amongst Spurs' attacking options, and even he is more interested in scoring than supplying by cutting from the left. Find a proper winger and Spurs could get a lot more joy out of Fernando Llorente."
