Tottenham are busy trying to strengthen their squad prior to the transfer window closing on Monday evening.
Last night, Spurs ensured a fourth-place finish in the Champions League as Thomas Frank oversaw a 2-0 win in Frankfurt in the final group game.
It’s no secret that Tottenham would welcome some more attacking flair into the squad, and a forward or even a striker wouldn’t go amiss.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has been linked, but that could be a complex deal to complete with little time left on the clock for this transfer window.
Given that it’s common knowledge that Tottenham want attacking quality in the final days of the window, a whole host of names are being linked with a new one doing the rounds today.
Tottenham could sign Raheem Sterling
Chelsea have agreed to terminate Sterling’s contract at Stamford Bridge after months of inactivity.
Now, the winger is free to find another club, and Alex Crook has spoken on the TalkSPORT Transfer Insider podcast that Tottenham shouldn’t be ruled out.
He said: “Well, you say Tottenham. Again, they look a little bit light in the wide areas, and Thomas Frank might just see Raheem Sterling as someone whose career he can revive and can come in and provide that experience they’ve been looking for with the likes of Andy Robertson, which is another move that may or may not happen between now and Monday.

“So again, I wouldn’t totally rule out an approach from Spurs.
“I’d be surprised based on what I’ve been told in the last 18 months if Sterling was willing to go to the MLS or Saudi Arabia.”

Tottenham signing Sterling would smack of desperation
Harry Kane once called Sterling ‘incredible’ but this signing would be at the very least, five years too late, with the former England man way beyond his best years.
Sterling has Premier League experience with Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, with the winger accumulating 396 Premier League appearances and 88 outings in the Champions League.
However, Sterling isn’t really right for Tottenham at the present moment. In the aftermath of Daniel Levy, Spurs fans want ambition to be shown in the transfer window and this doesn’t do that.
Sterling might do a job for someone in the Premier League but given the wages he would command and the lack of football he’s played in recent times, this would absolutely smack of desperation.
