Mirror mirror on the wall, which striker should we call?
If there is a transfer window looming then Tottenham will be linked with every striker under the sun, realistic or otherwise. This coming window is no different.
Any purchase is dependent upon sales of course, we can't afford to just pay players wages and not play them, besides to add any non-home grown players to the squad we have to release non-tome grown players first as we have our full quota.
Southampton, it is suggested want Andros Townsend and Harry Kane for Jay Rogriguez which presumably is made up paper stuff. Harry Kane isn't for sale having just signed a new contract and being a Spurs man, plus the fact £10 million has already been talked about in the summer and rejected.
Andros Townsend is a player with immense potential and in the right system would do very well, he is young and home grown, therefore commands a higher fee, it is highly doubtful Spurs would let him go for under £15 million and that's all Rodriguez is valued at, not having played for 6 months.
I suspect Tottenham are looking for bargains who will graft and as such have been casting their eye over players coming towards the end of their contracts. Andre-Pierre Gignac of Marseilles, Wissam Ben Yedder of Toulouse, Sebastian Giovinco of Juventus and Andrej Kramaric of HNK Rijeka have all been bandied about recently by the press.
Chelsea are said to be about to sign 23-year-old Croatian Kramer who scores his goals in the Croatian league but Inter and AC Milan are also both interested. The Atalanta chairman has also tried to sign him but says he thinks he is joining Chelsea.
Sebastian Giovinco is not playing for Juventus and his age is against him, 27 is a bit old for our transfer policy, especially given Roberto Soldado's inability to adapt at that age.
Wissam Ben Yedder is 24 and thought to be a target of Barcelona with his contract running until 2017. He has scored 7 goals in 13 Ligue 1 games having scored 11 goals in the last 17 league games last season.
Andre-Pierre Gignac is being targetted by a host of clubs, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool and Inter Milan have all been mentioned. He is out of contract at the end of the season so despite being 28 may be a short-term option. Marseilles play the way Pochettino wants Tottenham to play so he should fit the club. Playing the system he has scored 10 goals in 13 games helping Marseilles sit top of the French league above moneybags PSG.
Which ones are realistic and which ones, if any, Pochettino wants we'll have to wait and see but a player scoring goals within the system despite his age, available on a free transfer in the summer seems a sensible option.
