Tottenham have invested heavily in the last few windows but still look a long way from being a team who can challenge for the highest honours in the game.
Ange Postecoglou is still trying to instil a winning mentality on his team but keeps coming across the same inconsistencies the managers before him have had.
With 100s of millions spent, the pressure really is on for Tottenham to finally deliver but despite that spending, it looks like Spurs are looking for more signings.
Indeed, according to Football Transfers, Tariq Lamptey is a name emerging on Spurs’ radar as they look to bolster the ranks.
Pedro Porro could be moved on as Tottenham eye Tariq Lamptey
Of course, Lamptey is a right-back who at one point was deemed as one of the very best full-backs coming through in the English game.
Tottenham, as we know, have got Pedro Porro nailed down in that position right now but if Lamptey was signed, it could be problematic for Porro.
Indeed, the thought that Spurs are even considering another right-back should be a warning to Porro, who remains a touch off it defensively.
Sure, Real Madrid are thought to like Porro, but there is no guarantee he gets that move.
The Spaniard, then, might be getting a kick up the backside here with Postecoglou potentially looking for a reaction from the man signed by Antonio Conte.
Lamptey could impress at Tottenham after Neal Maupay endorsement
As we know, Neal Maupay is not every Tottenham fan’s favourite player after his ‘banter’ with James Maddison.
But still, Maupay is a seasoned Premier League player and his words on Lamptey from previous should not go ignored.
Speaking about the impact of Lamptey previously, former Brighton man Neal Maupay spoke highly of the right-back and admitted he’s a well-liked player.
“Tariq is amazing. He’s been with us only six months now maybe, and he’s been on top every single day, and he’s such a good guy too. Everyone loves him in the team and every time he’s on the pitch, he gives everything he has,” Maupay said.
“He’s so quick, he’s got great quality on the ball too, he’s a good defender. We are all grateful to have him in the team.”
Maupay’s words, then, could well be something Tottenham fans look towards if this interest in Lamptey prevails into something.
