Alasdair Gold has claimed that part of Tottenham Hotspur’s plan for the rest of the summer transfer window is to continue monitoring striker options.
The North London club have signed five players so far this summer, including forward Richarlison. The Brazilian is incredibly versatile, however, and, given Gold’s claim, Antonio Conte may not see him as Harry Kane’s backup.
Gold said on the Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast: “From what I understand, they’re gonna continue to monitor opportunities for any strikers out there.”
Spurs’ squad depth looks very much improved ahead of next season, in which they’ll be hoping to cause a few upsets. They have a serial winner at the helm in the form of Conte and are now building a squad which looks, on paper, capable of reaching new heights.
There’s still over a month left of the transfer window, which could yet see further incomings and outgoings at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. If Gold’s comments are anything to go by, then Spurs could yet add to their frontline. As per Gold, they’re currently monitoring the options available.
TIF Thoughts on Tottenham’s business…
Tottenham have splashed the cash this summer, that’s for sure. Now, though, they must get off to a good start in the Premier League next season, with all five additions making different impacts.
Will Spurs finish in the top three?
Yes
No
With five substitutions now allowed to be introduced in a single Premier League game now, too, teams will be more reliant than ever on their respective squad depths.
Conte will hope to see all of his new arrivals flourish from the off, as he looks to take Spurs to the next level. Having brought in these new faces already, it will give the Italian plenty of time to assess his options before the season kicks off.
