The January transfer window is fast approaching, and Tottenham’s main area of priority is investing in a new striker.
Spurs have made a solid start to life under Thomas Frank and currently sit one point behind fourth-place Sunderland, although a consistent source of goals has been a problem.
Tottenham are missing the injured Dominic Solanke, who fired 14 goals in all competitions last term, with the likes of Richarlison, Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani all failing to grab the number nine jersey.
That is why Spurs are eyeing a new striker in January, most notably Juventus centre-forward Dusan Vlahovic, and that isn’t the only position being targeted by Frank.
Mohammed Kudus could persuade Antoine Semenyo to join Spurs
Daniel Levy was left with egg on his face in the summer when Tottenham missed out on signing Antoine Semenyo.

Bournemouth valued the 25-year-old at around £80million, with the Lilywhites choosing to splash the cash on Xavi Simons instead.
Semenyo recently signed a new five-year contract at Bournemouth, and while many thought that derailed their chances of signing him, one clause suggests otherwise.
It emerged that Semenyo has a £65m release clause in his contract, and that could be enough to persuade the Tottenham hierarchy to splash the cash.
The Ghanaian has been in incredible form for the Cherries this term, scoring six goals in 11 top-flight appearances, and international teammate Mohammed Kudus could persuade him to join.
Kudus and Semenyo play alongside each other for Ghana, and if Spurs do plan on launching a pursuit for the talented forward, then their relationship could play a part.
What Semenyo has said about Kudus
Spurs signed Kudus from West Ham during the summer, and the 25-year-old has made a decent start to life in North London.
A return of five goal involvements in 10 league appearances showcases his impact and Kudus’ pace and power will be key against Arsenal.
Unsurprisingly, Semenyo – who was dubbed ‘unique’ by Jamie Redknapp – has previously waxed lyrical over his Ghanaian teammate, labelling him a ‘starboy’ in January 2024.
“He [Kudus] is one of our best players. He is the starboy. He gets on the ball, creates stuff, and scores goals like he did today. It was a great addition to have him,” Semenyo said.
The thought of Kudus and Semenyo sharing a dressing room at Tottenham is mouth-watering, and the ENIC Group could make it happen.
