With the international break pausing club action, Tottenham Hotspur now have a valuable window to evaluate their shortcomings and plan ahead. An early-season injury crisis severely disrupted their momentum, contributing to a slide down the table that sees them currently 14th in the Premier League and eliminated from all domestic competitions.
With one eye firmly on the summer, there are growing murmurs of a potential squad rebuild. While Ange Postecoglou does have access to a wide array of attacking options, the inconsistent performances from his forwards—mirroring the broader struggles of the squad—have underlined the urgent need for attacking reinforcements. As the club looks to reset and build a more competitive unit, recruitment will be key to reviving Tottenham’s fortunes next season.
Tottenham Hotspur’s attacking line has faltered this season, with key players struggling to deliver when it matters most. Son Heung-min has endured an inconsistent campaign, Timo Werner has underperformed, and Brennan Johnson continues to face growing criticism. Meanwhile, Mathys Tel’s future remains uncertain, and Richarlison has spent much of the season sidelined. With so many question marks surrounding their current options, Spurs are in desperate need of a top-class attacker—and a new name has now emerged on their radar.
Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert has impressed in the Premier League this season, quickly establishing himself as one of the Cherries’ standout performers. The Dutch international has enjoyed a strong campaign and even made history by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in Premier League history. With his pace, flair, and versatility in the final third, Kluivert could offer Spurs the injection of creativity and directness they sorely lack.
The Netherlands International is heading in the right direction
Since arriving at Bournemouth from Roma, Justin Kluivert has been in outstanding form, registering 31 goal contributions in just 68 appearances. His impact has been instrumental in Bournemouth’s success this season.
According to CaughtOffside, Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle United are all keen on signing Kluivert this summer. The Dutchman is open to a move if a bigger club comes calling, and Bournemouth are reportedly willing to sell him for a fee between £41 million and £46 million.
The report suggests that all interested clubs believe Kluivert could make a significant impact on their squad. It now remains to be seen if Spurs or any other club will meet Bournemouth’s asking price.

Despite playing fewer matches, Justin Kluivert has outscored the majority of Tottenham’s squad this season, only Brennan Johnson stands ahead of him in total goals. Remarkably, his goal tally surpasses that of Son Heung-min and even Dominic Solanke, which speaks volumes about his clinical edge and efficiency in front of the goal. What’s even more impressive is that Kluivert has achieved this without the benefit of Europa League fixtures, where scoring opportunities are often more frequent against weaker opposition.
If Spurs were to secure his signature this summer, the Dutch international could be a valuable addition to Postecoglou’s frontline, offering pace, precision, and a genuine goal threat. Even with slightly reduced minutes compared to his time at Bournemouth, Kluivert has the qualities to make a significant impact in North London and provide the consistency that Tottenham’s attack has so sorely lacked.
