Tottenham Hotspur have now launched contact to sign an attacking target ahead of arch-rivals Arsenal, according to reports.
The Lilywhites have it all to do in the January transfer window. Thomas Frank is yet to win over the fans, both thanks to results and thanks to his more pragmatic style at times. The transfer window provides the Dane with the perfect opportunity to turn a corner before it's too late, however.
They need an attacking addition, first and foremost. Although Dominic Solanke is still fighting to make his first appearance under Frank, there's no guarantee that he will be the one to solve Spurs' problems.
The same can be said about Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani, who have scored two goals and eight goals respectively so far this season.
So, the solution could lie in the transfer market and potentially in Germany following recent reports that they're chasing Yan Diomande. The young winger has enjoyed an excellent campaign so far, breaking out and becoming a key target for several sides.
If Spurs are to finally replace Heung-min Son's impact, then signing a winger who's scored seven goals and created another four in all competitions would certainly go a long way.
Add Kenan Yildiz onto that and Frank's attack suddenly looks far more promising. According to TuttoJuve, as relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham have now made contact to sign Yildiz ahead of Arsenal in 2026.
The North London rivals are reportedly in a tug-of-war to sign the Juventus star, but Tottenham will be hoping that their contact puts them ahead of Arsenal.
Yildiz would ignite Tottenham's frontline
The 20-year-old is reportedly causing Juventus quite the dilemma with his wage demands of over £5m a season. Arsenal and Tottenham, however, would reportedly have no issue paying the versatile winger that asking price.
Given his ability to play as both a winger and a No.10, the 20-year-old could be the player to finally spark Spurs' attack into life, especially next to summer signing Xavi Simons. The Dutchman is beginning to show signs of his best, but his red card against Liverpool was undoubtedly a setback.
The numbers do the talking for Yildiz. Even as Juventus have struggled to rediscover their best form from years of old, he has been an impressive standout.
With nine goal involvements to his name in Serie A this season, the Turkish attacker is more than ready to make his mark elsewhere and has certainly justified a wage rise.
Whether Spurs can fend off interest from Arsenal is the big question. The last thing they need is to watch a key target join their rivals yet again.
