Tottenham Hotspur have had to deal with a lot of injury issues this season, which has culminated in them currently sitting 14th in the Premier League table.

Spurs have been without a multitude of key players, including first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and key centre-back duo Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario.

Although Tottenham have been trying their best to soldier on, results have been mixed, and there’s no doubt that reinforcements are needed.

TalkSPORT’s Simon Jordan has now spoken about Spurs’ strength in depth, naming three players he feels are not the kind that will help a team win silverware.

Simon Jordan not impressed with Tottenham trio James Maddison, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner

Jordan has claimed that the likes of James Maddison, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner are not players that will help Tottenham kick on as a club.

The former Crystal Palace chairman acknowledged that Spurs can get good results, but he feels that the side “doesn’t seem to change” even with big-money reinforcements.

Jordan said on talkSPORT: “There’s been games in there where they’ve beaten… I went to watch the quarter-final of the [Carabao] Cup against Manchester United and what I saw was two very poor sides.

“But they won a cup quarter-final against Manchester United, they’ve smashed Southampton 5-0, there are some results in there.

“The challenge for me is I look at players like [James] Maddison, I look at some of the signings.

“Maddison’s a good player, technically he’s a good player, but do you win things with players like James Maddison?

“I look at some of the signings like Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner, Timo Werner is a speedboat without a brain.

“I look at these guys and I think, ‘How are Tottenham going to kick on as a football club?’

“Despite spending decent money on [Dominic] Solanke and decent money every single year now.

You can’t argue that Spurs are spending a few quid but the side doesn’t seem to change.”

Who Tottenham could now sign in the January transfer window

Spurs could certainly do with bringing in reinforcements as Postecoglou looks to update and improve his squad with each passing transfer window.

Tottenham have already brought in a reinforcement in between the sticks, signing Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague.

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has now also confirmed that Spurs are looking at two defenders, with two attackers being put forward to the club.

Tottenham are interested in Paris Saint-Germain’s Milan Skriniar and Feyenoord’s David Hancko, central defenders who can also play at left-back.

TBR Football also understands that names that have been put to Spurs in recent days include Barcelona winger Ansu Fati and AC Milan forward Noah Okafor.
