Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bring in a superstar striker from Europe – to potentially replace Dominic Solanke.

Solanke joined the Lilywhites over the summer from Bournemouth, after a standout season on the south coast under new manager Andoni Iraola. Speaking to FourFourTwo exclusively, the Basque boss noted, “There was always a strong possibility that he’d leave, not after just the goals that he scored but the performances he had last season.”

The England international has started the season in fine fettle, too, settling into his new club nicely – but may already be deemed a second-choice No.9, with the introduction of a new player.

Tottenham Hotspur have made “important financial offer” to land target in January

Tottenham have plenty of options in attack, with Solanke leading the line alongside captain Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson as the first-choice front three. Timo Werner, Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odobert can all play in the frontline, too.

Despite the wealth of options, however, there is uncertainty, too. Son has been linked with an exit, while Werner is only on loan – and Richarlison hasn't featured much this season.

Spanish publication Sport via Sport Witness claim that Spurs have made an “important financial offer” to Jonathan David and are seeking a January agreement to bring the Canadian to north London.

David is a free agent next summer and able to negotiate with other clubs from next month. Apparently, the Lille star is most interested by the prospect of joining Barcelona – but Tottenham have a long-standing interest and would like to position themselves for a move.

David's profile as a false nine-type striker suggests that the north Londoners would like another option to Solanke – as do rumours that Spurs are still interested in Ivan Toney.

In FourFourTwo's opinion, however, this is merely an opportunity for Tottenham and not necessarily something for Solanke to worry about – especially as the 27-year-old is good enough to consistently start ahead of David.

Regardless, FourFourTwo understands that Tottenham are willing to back Ange Postecoglou in the market for a January signing should the right one present itself. Given the defensive issues in the team, such a signing may be more likely to be a centre-back or defensive midfielder.

The Premier League’s great entertainers, Tottenham Hotspur, haven’t hit the high notes in their last couple of matches and a return of four points from the last twelve available has ramped up the scrutiny on their manager.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou favours a style of play that either delivers emphatically or falls short with a whimper. In Thursday’s loss at Bournemouth, a disappointing result was compounded by a toothlessness that gives the boss a puzzle to solve.

The Cherries have beaten better teams than Spurs at home this season but an expected goals (xG) value of 0.87 for Spurs versus Bournemouth’s 3.71 doesn’t exactly smack of the swashbuckling football Postecoglou’s side can muster at their best.

December breaks the Postecoglou pattern at Tottenham

Between their thrilling win at Old Trafford at the end of September and a 4-0 demolition of Manchester City in their last league game of November, Spurs were predictable in their own way – win one, lose one, win the next, lose after that.

The outcome was a Spurs team that were fun for the neutral and frustrating for fans, but also attracted a degree of faith from those who were entertained by Postecoglou’s aggressive and uncompromising football. There’s something to be said for winning every other game when it gets the pulse racing.

The drift in Tottenham’s underlying performance data will have been noticed by Postecoglou. They went into last weekend with the highest non-penalty expected goals (npxG) in the Premier League and had scored an average of 2.25 goals per game.

Two matches later, their npxG has dropped below Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool. Their average goals per game has dropped to exactly 2 thanks to a 1-1 draw at home to Fulham and defeat at Bournemouth on Thursday evening.

The upshot is that Spurs have dropped from an entertaining sixth in the Premier League to a more precarious eighth, and they’ve done so on the back of two of their least effective attacking performances of the season.

The only goal of the game at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday exposed Tottenham’s great Achilles heel at the other end. An unmarked and untracked Dean Huijsen sauntered round the back to head in from Marcus Tavernier’s corner, indicative of a problem Postecoglou has been reluctant to address throughout his time in North London.

The Spurs manager has been asked about his team’s weaknesses at defensive set pieces before and isn’t shy about stating his position.

At the end of 2023/24, Postecoglou told football.london that he didn’t think fixing Tottenham’s defending at set pieces was the focus that would improve their fortunes overall. With their own attacking potency dropping, he might now revisit that view.

Tottenham’s faltering form of the last fortnight isn’t terminal. Eighth can become sixth just as quickly as sixth became eighth, and Spurs have both the firepower and the philosophy to win matches other teams might draw.

If that means losing some too, so be it.

It’s hard to know what to make of Spurs this season. At times they’ve been scintillating, scoring four in the victories over West Ham, Aston Villa and Manchester City. Yet they’ve also fallen to six defeats and are 10th in the Premier League table. A 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Thursday proved particularly hard for the travelling fans who took aim at manager Ange Postecoglou.

While many expected Enzo Maresca to struggle with Chelsea’s giant squad, the Italian seems to have found a formula for success. Resting his first choice players in the cup competitions, the Blues have emerged as title contenders thanks to eight wins from 14 league games this season. Unbeaten in the last 10 in all competitions, they have an impressive record at Spurs having won five of their last seven matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Watch Bournemouth vs Spurs to see if Ange Postecoglou's inconsistent Tottenham side can get back to winning ways in the Premier League in their visit to the south coast today. There are live streams, a potential free loophole, and you can watch from anywhere with a VPN.

It's hard to know which version of Spurs are going to turn up in Bournemouth on Thursday night – the one that thrashed the champions Manchester City 4-0 or the one that lost to relegation contenders Ipswich the previous game. Postecoglou's men, spearheaded by the likes of James Maddison and Son Heung-min, possess the quality to come out on top but don't always put it together over 90 minutes.

Bournemouth themselves are hardly the most consistent of sides. They've had some brilliant wins and performances this campaign but also some disappointing defeats. Still, they are well clear of the relegation zone and will be confident of getting a result – a win would actually take them above Spurs.

Bournemouth vs Spurs is part of a mid-week round of Premier League fixtures from December 3-5, all 10 of which are being shown on Amazon Prime.

Tottenham are enduring yet another inconsistent season, with a 4-0 away win at Manchester City sandwiched in between a home defeat and draw to Ipswich and Fulham.

Defensive problems persist with injuries to Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, making it likely that Tottenham will enter the January transfer market for another defender.

One target has had a breakout season in Europe, too, with the potential signing set to create history if they move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2024/25.

Tottenham chasing top Ligue 1 centre-back

According to the Telegraph, Tottenham are chasing Lens centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov, with the 20-year-old having impressed in Ligue 1 this season.

The report suggests that Spurs will face a fight with Newcastle for Khusanov's signature, as well as PSG and five other English clubs. The highly-sought after 20-year-old has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current deal in France, with Transfermarkt valuing him at less than £5m.

Having nurtured the Uzbekistan international, Lens are wanting a fee closer to £25m, with suggestions that more strong performances in the coming weeks could see that figure continue to rise.

Despite his age, Khusanov has already made 18 appearances for the Uzbekistan national team. If he does complete a move to Tottenham - or any other Premier League side - in January, he will become the first player from Uzbekistan to play in the English top flight. Right now, Uzbekistan are one of the 94 FIFA-affiliated nations to have not been represented in the Premier League, but Khusanov could soon change that.

The centre-back has started nine of Lens' 13 Ligue 1 games this term, appearing as a substitute in two others and missing the other two after picking up a red card in a 1-0 defeat to PSG. He helped keep four clean sheets in the games he has started, with Lens currently sat seventh in the French top flight.

In FourFourTwo's view, the £25m figure touted seems extremely steep considering he moved for just £100k 18 months ago, though he is showing great promise. Spurs are in need of more defenders to help bolster their backline, so if he is available for half that price it would make a lot more sense to complete a deal.

Manchester City are working on a shock move for Cristian Romero of Tottenham Hotspur.

The champions are at their lowest ebb since Pep Guardiola took over in 2016. With no win in the last seven in all competitions – and a potentially season-defining loss to Liverpool at the weekend – Manchester City could be out of the title race already, with reinforcements expected in January.

And with director Txiki Begiristain replaced by Sporting man Hugo Viana, City could be about to make bold moves off the pitch in order to arrest this slump

Cristian Romero is wanted by Manchester City

City and Tottenham, generally speaking, don't do very much business with one another.

A move for Harry Kane in 2021 stalled over a fee that couldn't be agreed between the two clubs, meaning that Kyle Walker is the only player to have moved between the Etihad and north London since Guardiola arrived in the Premier League.

Spanish outlet Fichajes are reporting, however, that the Argentine defender is a shock target for the Sky Blues, with the defender stallng over a new contract.

“Tottenham plan to start negotiations in January to make him the highest-paid player at the club, aiming to secure his stay,” the report states. “However, the chance to regularly compete in the Champions League could sway the decision towards a team like City.”

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also said to be interested in the star, who could replace any number of players in Guardiola's defence.

Walker is now 34 and looked a shadow of himself this season, while John Stones' injury record has been poor of late. There is the possibility, too, that Romero could play in midfield as a No.6 – or a No.5, as it is in Argentina – as he embodies the Javier Mascherano-type qualities needed to succeed there.

In FourFourTwo's opinion, this might seem like an outlandish idea but with Romero stalling on new terms with the Lilywhites, this move might well be more possible than many realise. Spurs may have no chance but to offload the defender at a reduced price over the next year or so, with City one of the most attractive propositions in world football for any star.

Dominic Solanke continues to make quite the impact for Tottenham Hotspur following his summer move from Bournemouth.

The 27-year-old has netted six goals in all competitions so far, with Solanke bidding to help prove why Tottenham parted with £65m in the summer for his services. He has managed to keep fellow forward Richarlison out of the team, starting the lion's share of Spurs' Premier League games.

But having not been involved in the 1-1 draw against Fulham at the weekend, fans and FPL nerds are all asking the same question. Will he feature against his former side on Thursday?

Is Dominic Solanke fit to play for Spurs against Bournemouth?

Manager Ange Postecoglou is expected to be asked about Solanke in his pre-match media duties but did also speak about the England international following the draw against Fulham this weekend.

It remains to be seen whether he will feature but Postecoglou did give a positive update on the matter in both his interview with Tottenham's club media and in his post-match press conference.

“Dom trained yesterday, but the illness hit him overnight, so we’ll have to see how he recovers," began Ange.

"He came to the ground and wanted to try (to make himself available), but we could tell as soon as we saw him that he wasn’t in a fit state to play, so we sent him home. I haven’t seen Archie, but he picked up a bit of a knock, we’ll have to wait and see.”

Asked about his inclusion against the Cherries, Postecoglou added: “I hope so. He trained yesterday but he came in today and didn’t look well at all, so we sent him home.

"It’s obviously an illness, not an injury, so we need to see how it settles down in the next couple of days but hopefully it’s nothing too significant.”

In FourFourTwo's view, we can safely presume Solanke should be fit to feature against Bournemouth given he was rested at the weekend against the Cottagers.

The 27-year-old will be bidding to score against his former side but whether or not he chooses to celebrate at the Vitality Stadium remains another question.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bring a high-profile No.9 to north London – just months after signing Dominic Solanke.

The England man joined Tottenham in a £60 million deal over the summer, as the long-awaited replacement for club-record scorer Harry Kane, who left the summer prior. But stepping into the shoes of the England captain – ranked at No.7 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League strikers of all time – has been a tall task for the former Chelsea and Liverpool man.

Through little fault of Solanke's, Spurs are currently seventh in the table with their form fluctuating wildly by the week. Now, it looks as if chairman Daniel Levy could be about to bring in another striker to rectify matters.

Tottenham are chasing proven Premier League goal-getter to supplement Solanke

The Lilywhites have a wealth of attacking options with versatility across the frontline. Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevki are all options out wide.

Son Heung-min, meanwhile, has functioned both as a centre-forward and a left-winger – but is out of contract in the summer.

Despite Solanke only able to function centrally and Ange Postecoglou using a lone striker, Fichajes in Spain have reported that Tottenham are interested in bringing Ivan Toney back to London.

The former Brentford striker was on the radar for several top Premier League clubs, with Tottenham mooted as an option – before his leftfield move to the Saudi Pro League.

Signing Toney would not only almost certainly spell the end of seeing Son up front, however, it would likely see Solanke's minutes heavily reduced.

In speaking to FourFourTwo exclusively last month, however, Solanke's former manager, Andoni Iraola said that he expected the target man to leave the Vitality Stadium after strong form and that he deserved the chance to play at a higher level.

“I think it was always a strong possibility that he’d leave, not after just the goals that he scored but the performances he had last season,” the Bournemouth boss said. “He was very consistent. He wasn’t called up for the Euros – and that didn’t help us much: it made it hard to convince Dom to stay.”

In FourFourTwo's opinion, it's highly unlikely that Tottenham's interest in Toney is serious. The North Londoners had the opportunity to sign him in the summer on wages much smaller than those he's currently earning, and with Solanke a similar profile – who hasn't done anything wrong so far in a white shirt – we would be shocked if Toney replaced him up front.

Rodri doesn’t like the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Nothing to do with the aesthetic (we don’t think), it’s his record there that bothers him.

In the Premier League, played four, lost three, won one. Ballon d’Or winners don’t tend to lose many games, so to post three straight defeats versus the same team in the same stadium is unusual.

“Some teams are the worst for you," Rodri explained to FourFourTwo, before Tottenham's 4-0 drubbing of City, in an exclusive one-on-one interview in Madrid where he's been rehabbing his injured knee. "Tottenham for us. When they had Harry Kane, Son and Lucas Moura, they had the perfect way to play against us.

Why can't I beat Spurs?

“I never won there – last season was the first time. I thought, ‘Why is it so tricky?’, but sometimes it’s like this.” After parading his cherished Ballon d’Or to the Manchester City crowd before their game at the weekend, the sense of deja vu must have been palpable.

“Last season was such a tough season,” Rodri says, remembering how Arsenal pushed City all the way. “If you want to win the Premier League, normally it goes to the last day, and we really played to our limit and gave everything. Maybe that’s why we didn’t perform well in the FA Cup final, because in the last two games, we left everything on the pitch.

“That showed the mentality of the team, though – we won for all these years, but we had the desire to go again until the last day. Of course, people expect us to win again this year, then again. It’s not easy, but we’ll be there, we’ll fight and the team will show character.”

They are missing their best player though, that much is true. But specifically, what is it that the team are currently missing while their midfielder recovers from an ACL injury? It makes sense to ask the man himself.

“You’re the guy who ensures everything works," he says, when asked to explain how he sees his own role on the pitch for club and country. "You don’t have a specific thing to do, you just have a lot of things to do. It’s about leadership and understanding the game.”

Rodri has played centre-back as well of course, at the 2022 World Cup, and defenders have joined him in midfield at City. So which is more difficult?

“It’s more difficult to do what John Stones has done, Joao Cancelo in the past or Manuel Akanji when he’s played that role," he says. "In midfield, we’re used to looking 360, being surrounded by players.

“Defend, attack, it’s the most complete part of the field. At centre-back, you just have players in front of you – it’s more chilled with the ball. I tell the centre-backs, ‘Your job with the ball is so easy!’ It’s demanding without the ball though – the positioning is very tricky.

“When I played there at the World Cup, I’d watch clips of centre-backs, how they behaved, everything. You have to look at the people who really know that role.”

Tottenham Hotspur were founded in 1882 and are one of England's biggest and best-supported clubs.

In 1961, Spurs became the first English club to win a League and FA Cup double in the 20th Century. And two years later, the Lilywhites were the first British team to claim a European trophy, bringing home the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

Recent times have been less successful, but Spurs have remained among the top five or six clubs in England and over the years, the north Londoners have been blessed with some great goalscorers.

Here, a look at the players who scored 100 goals for Tottenham...

Billy Minter played as an inside forward for Tottenham between 1908 and 1920 and was the first player to score 100 goals for the north London club.

Minter netted 101 in 263 appearances overall and later worked for Tottenham as a manager and an administrator until his passing in 1940. He was Spurs' leading scorer until he was overtaken by Jimmy Dimmock.

Johnny Morrison began his career in non-league football and the centre-forward joined Tottenham as a 20-year-old in 1931.

After a spell with Spurs' nursery side Northfleet Town, Morrison established himself with the first team, going on to score 102 goals in 154 appearances between 1932 and 1939.

An inside forward capped once by England, Bert Bliss scored 106 goals in 215 games for Tottenham in a decade at the club between 1912 and 1922.

Signed from Willenhall Swifts for just £10, Bliss was small in stature but highly effective and helped the north Londoners win the FA Cup in 1921.

One of Tottenham's all-time greats, Glenn Hoddle was an idol at White Hart Lane for much of the 1970s and 1980s.

The former England midfielder was blessed with wonderful technique and scored 110 goals in 490 games for Spurs, including many memorable strikes. Hoddle helped Tottenham to two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup in the early 1980s, before leaving for Monaco in 1987. He later returned as manager.

A flying left winger who scored the winning goal in the 1921 FA Cup final at the age of just 20, local lad Jimmy Dimmock was one of Tottenham's best players in the 1920s.

Dimmock, who was capped three times by England, scored 112 goals in 438 games for Spurs overall, including 100 in 400 in the league.

After a series of shorter spells at Wolves, Coventry City, Inter and Leeds United, Robbie spent six seasons at Tottenham between 2002 and 2008.

The Republic of Ireland's all-time top scorer helped Spurs win the League Cup in 2008, but moved to Liverpool that summer, eventually returning to White Hart Lane after a torrid time at Anfield. In total, he scored 122 goals in 306 games for the north London club.

Born in Wood Green close to Tottenham, Les Bennett played as an inside forward for the north London club between 1946 and 1954.

An energetic player who was a valuable member of the famous Push and Run side which won the title in 1950/51, Bennett scored 124 goals in 294 appearances for Tottenham.

Teddy Sheringham spent five years at Tottenham between 1992 and 1997, eventually leaving Spurs for Manchester United in the pursuit of trophies.

And after winning it all at Old Trafford, including a treble and three Premier League titles in total, the England striker returned to White Hart Lane for a second spell. In total, he scored 124 goals in 277 games for Spurs.

After signing from Dundee in 1964, Alan Gilzean formed successful strike partnerships with Jimmy Greaves (the pair were known as the "G-Men") and later Martin Chivers at Tottenham.

A goalscorer with great technique who could also create chances for others, Gilzean netted 133 times in 439 appearances for Spurs, winning an FA Cup, two League Cups and a UEFA Cup in his time at White Hart Lane.

Born in Guernsey, Len Duquemin spent over a decade at Tottenham in the 1940s and 1950s.

A valuable member of Arthur Rowe's famous Push and Run side, he scored the goal which sealed the First Division title for Spurs in 1950/51. In total, Duquemin netted 134 goals in 307 games for the Lilywhites between 1946 and 1957.

Born in 1910, George Hunt was an inside forward or centre-forward who spent seven years at Tottenham in the 1930s.

Hunt hit 138 goals in 198 appearances for Tottenham before briefly joining rivals Arsenal in 1937 and then moving to hometown club Bolton Wanderers later in the year. He won three caps for England, scoring once.

Jermain Defoe was a fan favourite at Tottenham in two lengthy spells in north London in the 2000s and 2010s.

Defoe left for Portsmouth in 2008 but returned to White Hart Lane the following year and scored 143 goals in 363 appearances for Tottenham overall – including five in a 9-1 win over Wigan in November 2009 and 23 strikes in European competition.

Cliff Jones joined Tottenham from Swansea in 1958 and the Welsh winger went on to spend a decade at White Hart Lane.

A valuable member of the double-winning team in 1960/61, Jones won three FA Cups in total with Spurs and a European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963. He also chipped in with plenty of goals, netting 154 times in 378 appearances for the Lilywhites.

Son Heung-min signed for Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2013 and the South Korean forward quickly became a fan favourite at the north London club.

A wide forward who can also play centrally if needed, Son has regularly scored 20 goals a season for Spurs and had netted over 160 times for the Lilywhites by November 2024.

Martin Chivers joined Tottenham from Southampton for a club record fee of £125,000 in 1968 and was a prolific scorer in eight seasons at White Hart Lane.

Chivers netted 174 goals in 367 games for Spurs, including two in the UEFA Cup final win over Wolves in 1972. Capped 24 times for England, Chivers registered 13 international goals and was Tottenham's top scorer in Europe for almost 40 years, until he was overtaken by Jermain Defoe in 2013. He was sold to Swiss side Servette in 1976.

Bobby Smith started his career at Chelsea, but is best remembered for his time at Tottenham.

A key member of the double-winning side of 1960/61, Smith is one of only three players to have scored 200 first-team goals for Spurs. The former England forward hit 208 in 317 games between 1955 and 1964.

Jimmy Greaves signed for Tottenham in December 1961 after a short spell at AC Milan for the unusual fee of £99,999, which was intended to remove added pressure on him being British football's first £100,000 player.

Greaves was a huge hit at Spurs, netting 266 goals in 379 games and impressing as Bill Nicholson's side won two FA Cups and a European Cup Winners' Cup in the 1960s. The striker, who was part of England's World Cup-winning squad in 1966, left to join West Ham in 1970.

Harry Kane came through the youth ranks at Tottenham and went on to become the club's all-time top scorer.

Before leaving Spurs to join Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023, the England striker hit 280 goals for the Lilywhites in 435 games, having moved ahead of the legendary Jimmy Greaves in January that year.
