Tottenham fan Kish Patel says Roberto de Zerbi's side have a "major hole" in their squad in the striker position and has urged the club to address it in upcoming transfer windows.

Speaking as a member of BBC Sport's Fan Collective, he explained: "Solanke is just not the same player. He was never a prolific striker but you got that brilliant hold up play and he made other players better. Now, I don't think he can do that; he's lost all of his agility and is slow. I don't know whether he can return to what he was.

"I think Spurs have made a mistake with signing Omar Marmoush. The way we are using him is not getting the best out of him. We have played him in a range of positions, none of which are getting the best out of him. It feels like we have a very specific player that doesn't quite fit.

"We also didn't register Richarlison who I think would have his uses in this team. He would be really good against those low blocks where we have a lot of territory and possession. He has the big physical presence in the box that can make chances for himself and create chaos.

"I think the number nine is the next obvious big signing. Potentially they could go in for someone in January but I think it's more likely they wait until the summer. It is a major hole in this Spurs squad."
