Tottenham Hotspur have been known to splash the cash in the attacking department over the last couple of years in an attempt to be successful in the Premier League.
After Thomas Frank took the reins during the summer transfer window, he was handed over £100m worth of funds to make the changes he desired.
Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons were both added to the Lilywhites squad, but have often found themselves struggling to produce consistent performances in North London.
The former of the duo hasn’t registered a league goal or assist in any of his last three matches, whilst the latter received a red card in last weekend’s meeting with Liverpool.
As a result, the Dane has made it clear he wants extra reinforcements during the winter window to help correct the recent slump in form within England’s top-flight.
Spurs want move for clinical Premier League talent
Over the last couple of months, Spurs have been just one of the clubs touted with a potential move to land Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo in the January window.
After it was confirmed that the 25-year-old had a £65m release clause in his contract, rumours massively built up pace, but now a deal appears somewhat unlikely.
It’s been reported that the Lilywhites are now set to miss out on the Ghanaian’s signature in the coming weeks, which has handed Manchester City and Manchester United a free run at a possible deal.
However, he’s not the only Premier League option currently in the hierarchy’s sights ahead of the winter window, with West Ham star Jarrod Bowen once again appearing on their radar.
According to TEAMtalk, the Lilywhites are keen on a deal to land the 29-year-old Englishman, who’s already scored five Premier League goals this campaign.
It also states that Spurs have been in contact with the Irons across the last four windows, but Nuno Espírito Santo’s side are reluctant to offload their star man during the upcoming window.
Previous reports have indicated Spurs may be willing to lodge a £60m offer for his services.
Why Bowen would be better than Semenyo for Spurs
During the 2025/26 campaign, Cherries star Semenyo has been one of the Premier League leading talents - as seen by his remarkable tally of goals and assists in the final third.
In his first 16 outings of the current season, the 25-year-old has already scored eight times and registered three assists - with such a tally the third highest of any player in the division.
He’s also netted numerous incredible efforts, including a superb solo strike on the opening day against Liverpool and a stunning byline effort against Fulham.
There’s no doubt he would be many of the supporters’ first choice this window, especially given his incredible efforts within the final third of the pitch this season.
However, a move for Bowen could prove to be a better option in the short-term at least, especially given his remarkable numbers in the Premier League over recent years.
The 29-year-old currently has a total of 61 goals in England’s top-flight, including a superb return of 16 strikes in his 34 appearances throughout the 2023/24 campaign.
Whilst he’s been outscored by Semenyo this season, Bowen has managed to outperform the Ghanaian international when comparing the pair’s respective stats in 2025/26.
The Hammers star, who’s been dubbed “sensational” by Ray Houghton, has posted a better goal per shot on target ratio in the Premier League this campaign.
Such a figure showcases that he’s able to take advantage of more of the chances which have fallen his way this season, arguably making him a more clinical option for Frank’s side.
He’s also posted a higher take-on success rate, whilst registering more carries into the final third per 90 - showcasing his ability to torment the opposition at any given moment.
Bowen’s ability to get past defenders is one thing, but he’s also been able to produce a better end product, as seen by his higher tally of crosses completed per 90.
Other stats, such as more shots taken and more fouls won per 90, showcase his all-round threat in the final third, with many backlines in the division often struggling to contain him.
After such a persistent effort to land the Englishman in recent years, January could present the perfect chance for Frank’s side to potentially make a move and land his signature.
It may be a deal that is unpopular with the fans, but the 29-year-old has constantly managed to provide the goods in the Premier League - something which is desperately needed within the current squad.
