Spurs could unearth their next Dele Alli with move for “unplayable” 5 ft 9 sensation
Spurs could bring a talented player with Premier League experience into their ranks.
Even if the first part of Ange Postecoglou’s reign at Tottenham Hotspur has been mostly favorable, it has been nothing short of a wild ride thus far.
The Australian has already won three times as Manager of the Month, but the team has recently been severely impacted by a number of injuries.
Indeed, the Lilywhites had only triumphed in one of their previous five Premier League games before their victory over Nottingham Forest last Friday.
A significant portion of that can be attributed to an injury incurred by James Maddison, an intriguing summer addition. Prior to his injury, the Englishman was involved in seven goals in 11 games; however, Postecoglou’s team has suffered from a lack of creativity subsequently.
As such, the January transfer window will be welcomed warmly by those of a Spurs persuasion.
Tottenham’s plans for January – attacking shortlist
For the North Londoners, who are rumored to be pursuing some new forward options, this may be an intriguing opportunity.
Both Brentford’s Ivan Toney and RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda have been mentioned. But they are also keeping an eye out for an offensive midfielder.
Reports from Spain over the weekend suggested Tottenham was interested in Felipe Anderson, which may come as a surprise to some.
The Brazilian’s contract with Italian side Lazio expires next summer and as such it’s stated that Spurs could take advantage of uncertainty surrounding his future.
Fellow Serie A sides Juventus and Milan are also thought to be hovering around with the view to a potential move.
How Felipe Anderson last performed in England
Anderson had an incredibly mixed spell during his first stint in the Premier League when he was contracted to West Ham United.
