Tottenham Hotspur have turned their attention towards a surprising transfer plan...

What's the word?

According to ever-reliable football.london reporter Alasdair Gold, Spurs will be monitoring strikers ahead of a potential swoop for the remainder of the current transfer window, which ends on September 1st.

“From what I understand, they’re gonna continue to monitor opportunities for any strikers out there," he told the 'Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham' podcast.

This is despite signing Richarlison in a £60m deal from Everton.

Intriguing claim

Both manager Antonio Conte and sporting director Fabio Paratici have bolstered the playing squad in preparation for the new campaign, where Spurs will be competing in the Champions League.

Largely, the Italian head coach now has the strength in depth required to compete across all fronts with rotation not likely to weaken the team. However, it appears he is not completely happy yet as he is clearly targeting a new forward.

Perhaps, the versatile Brazilian is not seen as an out-and-out alternative to Harry Kane but rather an attacker who can play anywhere across the front line. If that's the case, then the Lilywhites still need a new frontman.

RB Salzburg sensation Benjamin Sesko, widely touted to be the "next Erling Haaland", is thought to be among the targets, according to some reports.

If Gold's comments are anything to go by, then Spurs are by no means finished in the transfer market, even though they have made as many as five new additions.

It could also hint about the future of Harry Kane, who is yet to sign a new contract at Hotspur Way after the Evening Standard hinted at a new deal in May 2022. He was linked heavily with a move to Manchester City last summer, whilst United have always been mooted with interest.

Either way, it is an exciting time to be a Spurs supporter right now, so those around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium should be buzzing by these latest claims from Gold.
