Ange Postecoglou has admitted Tottenham need to bolster their attacking options in the next few transfer windows.
Dominic Solanke joined Spurs from Bournemouth in a deal worth £65million in the summer and is currently the only fit senior striker in the squad. Richarlison is currently nursing a thigh injury and is not expected to return until January, while teenager Mikey Moore is expected to be out for a while longer with illness.
Tottenham have also been without winger Wilson Odobert for most of the season after he underwent surgery on a hamstring injury. Speaking ahead of Tottenham's trip to Bournemouth on Thursday, Postecoglou told journalists he expects to add attacking talent to the squad in the future.
The Australian said: "Yeah, there is no doubt because when you add Wilson to that, even Mikey, we had Dom out on weekend, you hope that alleviates. With Wilson it's long-term, hopefully Mikey by the turn of year will be back as well, but he's 17.
"With Richy it has been frustrating because I see the potential in him and to be fair when he's been fit he's always made an impact, for me anyway. I think back to the start of last year and when he came back into the team during the year he went on a scoring run.
"Even the little games he's played this year, he's made an impact. So, you know, that's what you kind of hold on to, but there's no doubt we need some bolstering in that front third over the next couple of transfer windows.
"Dom coming in has been great, but again we can't overload him either, because ultimately, you know, even if he stays fit and nothing happens, performance will invariably drop if his energy levels drop. So it's something we're aware of and need to plan for."
