Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on two top-class attackers and are ready to break the bank to bring them through the door in January.
While Spurs boast one of the best defensive records in the Premier League this season, they have had issues when it comes to creating and converting chances.
Part of that comes down to the fact that the likes of James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke are out injured, but the Lilywhites are ready to dip into the transfer market to solve that problem.
Tottenham’s majority owners injected £100m equity into the club earlier this month, and it has now emerged that the money is going to be used to land an English and Spanish attacker.
Spurs eye Premier League winger and Spanish striker in January
This update comes from Fichajes, who say that Spurs’ priority is to strengthen their forward line in the mid-season transfer window, with the club eyeing a top-class winger and a number nine.
It is alleged that Tottenham have set their sights on West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and Porto’s Samu Aghehowa ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The two players combined are expected to cost around €130m (£114m), but this has not put off Thomas Frank’s side, who are willing to break the bank to improve their forward line.

Why Tottenham want Jarrod Bowen and Samu Aghehowa
Fichajes say that Tottenham have identified Bowen as someone who can bring fluidity to their attack, with West Ham’s versatility and consistency valued very highly by Spurs.
Frank’s men plan to incorporate the England international as a starter or a high-impact substitute, and are willing to use him as a winger, a central attacker and even a pure striker.
Aghehowa is viewed by the North Londoners as one for the future, with the Tottenham decision makers believing that he has the attributes to thrive in English football.
They see him as a medium to long-term asset, but they also believe the 21-year-old can immediately offer competition to the strikers currently at the club.
