There is little time left for Tottenham in the transfer window as their search for a striker continues.
Richarlison started Spurs’ first two games of the season following Harry Kane’s exit but the Brazilian struggled against both Brentford and Manchester United.
Coach Ange Postecoglou has said he is an advocate for “attacking football” and it has somewhat reflected in his team’s perfomance so far with the Lily Whites making a statement 2-0 win over Manchester United at the White Hart Lane.
However, for his idea to be properly implemented and carried out his team need a more reliable and trustworthy forward.
Ahead of the North Londoners’ trip to Bournemouth, here is a list of strikers who have been on their radar.
Gift Orban
Spurs have been linked with a move for Gent striker Gift Orban, who scored 15 goals in 16 Belgian Pro League appearances last season.
The 21-year-old Nigerian also netted 16 times across 22 league matches for Norwegian side Stabaek in 2022.
Gent manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck has been effusive in his praise of the forward.
He said: “I saw him again this week in training scoring two or three great goals in just a few minutes.
“I haven’t seen that very often. It just stays that way, our mouths often fall open. Will he surprise me? No, it’s just enjoyment, every day we watch with a smile on our face.
“He is an incredible weapon that everyone wants.”
Evan Ferguson
Evan Ferguson was a revelation for Brighton last term.
The 18-year-old scored 10 goals in 25 appearances across all competitions in his breakout campaign, leading to speculation around a potential move to Spurs this summer.
The Republic of Ireland international also says he has been influenced by Kane.
He said: “I take little bits out of his game and try to bring them into my game. I see why people say that we’re a little bit similar.”
Brennan Johnson
Another young Premier League talent reportedly on Tottenham’s radar is Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson.
The 22-year-old scored eight league goals last season, playing a key role as Steve Cooper’s side avoided relegation.
