Which striker should Spurs sign in January?
Tottenham Hotspur have made a much improved start to the new campaign; however, there is one glaring hole in their squad, which is a striker.
Currently, Jan Paul van Hecke is the leading scorer for Spurs, with just two Premier League goals to his name.
Dominic Solanke, Omar Marmoush and Richarlison have all failed to make their mark in the number nine role so far this season.
Solanke has failed to overcome his struggles since returning from injury, Marmoush is yet to find his best position, and Richarlison has been banished from the squad.
Tottenham would be prepared to spend big on a striker, should the right player become available, but the market right now is not overly inspiring.
Ahead of the January transfer window, Teddy Sheringham has been speaking about Spurs' need for a new number nine and has suggested a name they should target.
Teddy Sheringham tells Tottenham to sign Charalampos Kostoulas
Teddy Sheringham believes that Brighton and Hove Albion striker Charalampos Kostoulas would be a great signing for Tottenham.
The former Spurs striker is adamant that the club needs to add to their attack, with their current number nines struggling.
Sheringham has made it very clear that Marmoush is not a striker, and they are left short when Solanke is missing.
He has warned his former side that playing without a top vocal point is really hurting them right now.
"I'd love to see them go and sign Charalampos Kostoulas from Brighton," he told Roundtable via BOYLE Sports.
They've sold two youngsters recently, Troy Parrott and Will Lankshear, and I don't know what else they've got lined up, so when Dominic Solanke doesn't play, it leaves a big hole.
All of a sudden Omar Marmoush plays up front. He's trying hard but he's not a centre-forward. He's not a target man. He doesn't know the ins and outs of being a centre-forward and so things fall down.
"Your team becomes ineffective when you don't have that focal point, so I'd love to see them go in for him."
Lining up a striker in January will be tricky, as the market for a number nine is rather dry at the moment.
Arsenal and Barcelona both attempted to sign strikers in the summer and failed to land one, showing how tricky it will be.
Eli Junior Kroupi is the player Tottenham should sign
Eli Junior Kroupi must become the priority target for Tottenham during the next two transfer windows.
Spurs wanted the young Frenchman during the summer window; however, he suffered a foot injury, and he remained on the south coast.
Bournemouth are expected to demand a huge fee for the talented striker, especially with the club also expected to lose Alex Scott at some stage in the future.
The 21-year-old is back from his injury and has just been named in the latest French squad, showing how highly rated he is.
But again, with Arsenal and Barcelona remaining in the market for a striker, the Lilywhites could face compeiton for his signature.
