Tottenham have now identified a new target to bolster their attacking ranks this winter as they look to move up the Premier League in the second half of the campaign, according to a fresh report.

Tottenham's horror record at Arsenal continues

Ange Postecoglou's side fell to their 11th loss of the season as they were beaten 2-1 by north London rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. Managing just two shots on target, the result leaves the Lilywhites stranded in midtable after extending their horrific form away at Arsenal to just one win in 31 league visits.

European football for next season already seems a longshot, with 10 points separating them from 8th placed Bournemouth, but it is clear that Spurs are moving in the transfer market to try and improve their season in the second half of the campaign.

They have already signed Antonin Kinsky to replace Fraser Forster, while they are also keen to add another forward to their ranks and have been linked with a move to sign Marcus Rashford, who is out of favour at Manchester United.

However, such a move seems unlikely given his mammoth wages at Old Trafford, while a move abroad is currently seen as more likely for the England international. As a result, Spurs have been forced to look elsewhere, and now a report in Spain has claimed that they are looking to poach a forward from Barcelona.

Tottenham table offer for "extraordinary" forward

That is according to Sport, who report that Tottenham have tabled an offer to take Ansu Fati on loan for the remainder of the season as they look to find more attacking options for Postecoglou. The forward spent last season on loan at Brighton and failed to catch the eye, having seen his career blighted with injuries since he burst onto the scene with Barcelona as a teenager.

So far this campaign, he has featured just four times for Hansi Flick's side in La Liga, starting only once, and it has been made clear to him that he is free to leave before the window shuts on February 3rd.

However, he is undoubtedly talented, inheriting Lionel Messi's shirt at Camp Nou and singled out for praise by former boss Xavi, who dubbed him an "extraordinary" talent after working with him.

Currently taking home a mammoth £226,000 a week at Camp Nou, the report claims that Barcelona are willing to let him leave on loan for no fee provided a club covers that salary, meaning that Tottenham will have to shell out around £6m to bring him to north London for the second half of the season.

And that has piqued their interest, it is revealed, with both Spurs and West Ham having lodged bids to bring him back to England, with Spurs having been kicked into action by their defeat in the north London derby.

There is also believed to be an offer on the table from Turkish side Besiktas, but Fati is keen to avoid moving to Turkey and as a result a move to the Premier League seems the most likely outcome. Would he be a good addition for Spurs and Postecoglou's style of play, even just in the short term?

Tottenham Hotspur have made a serious approach over signing an ambitious new forward target, as manager Ange Postecoglou attempts to reinforce his attack with real quality during the business end of January.

Spurs lose Randal Kolo Muani transfer race with new options identified

Postecoglou's side were involved in a high-profile transfer race for the signature of PSG outcast Randal Kolo Muani, but the France international has made his preference crystal clear.

Tottenham attempted to sway Kolo Muani until the dying seconds, as reported by reliable media sources like Fabrice Hawkins, but Juventus proved a more tempting option for the 26-year-old - who's put pen to paper on a loan move to Serie A with no buy option.

Spurs were in discussions with PSG on Monday over Kolo Muani. However, their efforts fell short, as Juve eventually beat both the north Londoners and Man United in pursuit of the ex-Eintracht Frankfurt star.

Attention now turns to whom technical director Johan Lange, chairman Daniel Levy and the club's recruitment team could identify as an alternative to the versatile forward, and there are a few credible options.

RMC Sport's Hawkins reports that Tottenham could advance on a move for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo before deadline day, even if Thomas Frank has attempted to pour cold water over the possibility of his exit this winter.

In the face of an irresistible January offer, especially considering Mbeumo's contract expires in 18 months, you could make a case that Frank could be overruled by Brentford officials when it comes to letting the Cameroonian star depart - so this could still be one to watch.

In the event a deal for Mbeumo proves impossible, another Premier League star facing an uncertain future is Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho.

The 20-year-old Red Devils sensation is believed to be attracting serious interest from Serie A as a top target for Antonio Conte, with reports in Italy claiming Napoli have offered Garnacho a contract to join them.

Tottenham prepared to make £60m bid for Alejandro Garnacho

While Conte's side appear seriously keen, he has admirers closer to home as well, and Spurs are believed to be well in the mix for his signature.

According to Football Transfers, Tottenham have made a "concrete" enquiry over a deal for Garnacho, and they're prepared to test United's resolve with a £60 million bid for the forward's services.

The outlet adds that this could even be enough to tempt Ruben Amorim's side into selling. Due to rumoured PSR concerns, United are apparently prioritising "pure profit" sales, opening the door for interested sides to hold talks over Garnacho.

This season has been a rather brutal one for Tottenham Hotspur.

Yes, Ange Postecoglou's side are still in three cup competitions, but following last night's defeat in the North London derby, the Lilywhites find themselves down in 13th place in the Premier League, with a whopping 11 defeats from 21 games.

There were poor performances across the board from the Australian's side, and while summer signing Dominic Solanke was undoubtedly trying his best to make something happen for the team, he was comfortably dealt with by the hosts.

The former Bournemouth star has been one of the few bright spots in Spurs' campaign thus far, but his place in the team could soon be under threat, as recent reports have linked the club with another free-scoring number nine who may well be an upgrade.

Tottenham target sublime striker

According to a recent report from GIVEMESPORT, Tottenham will continue to target the French market this window, despite missing out on Randal Kolo Muani, and have already been offered the chance to sign LOSC Lille star Jonathan David.

The report claims that the Canadian's agent has offered the forward out to clubs in recent times, including the Lilywhites, which could be an offer too tempting to pass up on.

A potential price is not mentioned in the story, but considering his contract is set to expire this summer, and he is therefore free to sign a deal with foreign clubs this month, we wouldn't be surprised if he was available for even less than the £20m that was reported last summer.

Daniel Levy and Co might prefer to sign David for free in the summer, but given his sensational form over the last few years and the club's need for attacking reinforcements now, it would undoubtedly be worth splashing the cash to bring him in this month, even if his arrival could spell trouble for Solanke.

How David compares to Solanke

So, if Spurs are proactive this month and opt to bring David to the club, it would likely be with the promise of regular football, should his performances warrant it, meaning he would be in direct competition with Solanke for a starting berth up top, but who's the better striker?

Well, when it comes to their pure output this season, it's a comprehensive victory for the Lille ace, who, in just 29 appearances, has found the back of the net on 17 occasions and provided six assists for good measure, meaning he's currently averaging a goal involvement every 1.26 games.

In contrast, the former Cherries star has scored 11 goals and provided six assists in as many games, which equates to a still brilliant but nonetheless worse average of a goal involvement every 1.70 games.

It's not just this season that the New York-born phenom has been the more prolific number nine either.

Indeed, last season he racked up a simply sensational haul of 26 goals and nine assists in 47 appearances, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.34 games, and lends credence to podcast host and Canadian football expert Tony Marinaro's claim that he's "one of the best strikers in the world" and Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig's description that he is a "mind-blowing" forward.

In comparison, the former Chelsea ace also had a great season on the south coast, but his tally of 21 goals and four assists in 42 games still comes out to a slightly less impressive average of a goal involvement every 1.68 games.

Finally, while the Lilywhites' starting striker has the experience of playing in England, the Lille poacher has the experience of playing in the Champions League, racking up a tally of seven goals and one assist in 14 appearances in Europe's top competition.

Ultimately, Spurs have a talented striker in Solanke, but based on the last few years, it's apparent that David is the more accomplished goalscorer, and if the club have a chance to sign him this month, they have to take it.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a Premier League forward after losing out on a deal for Randal Kolo Muani, with their former top January transfer target on the way to Juventus instead.

Spurs suffer North London Derby defeat as Kolo Muani joins Juventus

It's been a bad few days for Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, who suffered defeat in the North London Derby against Arsenal on Wednesday evening and lost the race to sign Kolo Muani on loan from PSG.

Son Heung-min gave the Lilywhites an early lead at the Emirates Stadium, briefly sparking hope of a sensational win on enemy turf, but two quick-fire goals just before half-time meant that Tottenham were instead handed their eleventh defeat of the Premier League campaign.

It was also Postecoglou's fourth loss from their last five top flight encounters, highlighting the severe depletion of Tottenham's first-team squad right now and just how imperative this January transfer window is to help resurrect their season.

Unfortunately for Spurs, despite trying to tempt Kolo Muani with a move to N17 "until the last moment" (Fabrice Hawkins), the Frenchman opted to swap the Parc des Princes for Turin - putting pen to paper on a loan move to Juventus.

Kolo Muani was seen by Spurs as one of the best attackers available, and their "top" target (David Ornstein), so falling short in their pursuit of the ex-Eintracht Frankfurt star will be a sore one to take for Postecoglou and co, as they now re-enter the market for new forward options.

Tottenham made contact with PSG over Kolo Muani as recently as Monday, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide. In terms of the options they're considering, one of them is believed to be in-form Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo.

Tottenham set sights on Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo

According to reliable French transfer correspondent Fabrice Hawkins, writing for RMC Sport, Tottenham are looking at signing Mbeumo and could advance on a move for the Cameroonian towards the end of this window.

They face stiff competition from other elite Premier League sides, including Man United, but the 25-year-old could be worth a potential chase given he's already bagged 13 goals in total this season and is out of contract in 18 months.

Mbeumo's contract situation won't mean Brentford will be pushovers when it comes to his price tag, though, and other reports state they could demand as much as £50 million to let him leave before February 3.

As Tottenham Hotspur continue to consider reinforcements of their own in the January transfer window, they could be in danger of losing one of Ange Postecoglou's defenders this month.

Tottenham transfer news

The Lilywhites have once again endured a campaign full of inconsistency and remain one of the toughest sides to predict in the Premier League, which arguably stretches to their work away from the action too. On the transfer front, it looked as though they were closing in on the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain only for Juventus to since reportedly swoop in.

Whether those in North London look to reinforce their attacking options through other candidates after missing out on the Frenchman remains to be seen. What's more, before any incomings can arrive, they may need to worry about potential departures.

According to reports in Spain, PSG are now preparing an offer worth €50m (£42m) to sign Radu Dragusin from Tottenham and see the central defender as a priority target. The Lilywhites, however, do not want to sell their centre-back, who has become a regular starter due to their injury crisis in defence.

It comes as no surprise that Spurs are set to remain firm amid such interest either. At times this season, Dragusin has been the only recognised centre-back for Postecoglou to turn to following injuries to Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.

To lose Dragusin at this stage would be an undeniable disaster for those in North London, even if PSG's planned offer is tempting on the economic side of things during the January transfer window.

"Great" Dragusin is crucial for Tottenham

When Van de Ven and Romero return, Dragusin's role may be that of a rotational centre-back. As things stand, however, he's the most important member of Postecoglou's backline. Meanwhile, even as a rotational player, the 22-year-old remains a solid option to add crucial depth to the Australian's strongest squad in North London.

The former Celtic manager was full of praise for Dragusin when speaking to reporters last week, saying as relayed by Spurs Web: “I’ve said all along that some of our players are getting unfairly judged because of the situation we’re in.

“He’s only 22 and it would be fine if he was playing with older players around him but he’s playing with an 18-year-old who isn’t a centre-back and he’s had three different goalkeepers.

“He was great the other night, really focused and with his organisation. With Toni, that’s probably the most organised we’ve been in a while and the midfield did really well to protect them."

With some fightback on their hands to qualify for European football in the second-half of the campaign, Dragusin should more than play his part for Tottenham as the fixtures come thick and fast on all fronts.

Tottenham Hotspur went into last night's North London derby with a chance to put the final nail in a deflated Arsenal's Premier League title ambitions but gave them a much-needed boost instead.

Ange Postecoglou's side managed to withstand an early barrage and actually took the lead 25 minutes in, but just 19 minutes after that, they found themselves 2-1 down.

The second half saw the Lilywhites push for an equaliser, but they looked just as likely to concede a third, and the defeat means they have picked up just five points from the last 27 available.

Now, there were some starters who put in a real shift for Ange Postecoglou and the fans, like Lucas Bergvall, Son Heung-min and Djed Spence, but there were more than a few players who let the side down, including Antonín Kinský.

Kinský's performance vs Arsenal

Kinský made his debut for Spurs in the League Cup against Liverpool last week and looked utterly brilliant, both with the ball at his feet and stopping shots, and then looked reasonably assured against Tamworth in the FA Cup over the weekend.

However, last night was another level of pressure, and while we cannot write him off based on one game, it would be fair to say that he did not cope with it.

There were countless times in which he took too long on the ball - which almost resulted in Kai Havertz scoring in the first 20 minutes - played the wrong pass to one of his teammates or took a bad touch and put the backline under unnecessary pressure, which is what you don't want in a heated derby.

Then, to top it all off, he failed to stop Leandro Trossard from scoring the winner despite being positioned well to do so, which ultimately cost his side the match.

This might all sound rather harsh, but it's an opinion shared by respected Spurs' writer Alasdair Gold, who gave the Czech ace a 5/10 match rating at full-time, writing that he'd be 'disappointed' with the Belgian's goal.

However, while the young shot-stopper had a night to forget, Pedro Porro was even worse.

Porro's performance vs Arsenal

Although he is vastly more experienced than Kinský, Porro was arguably even worse against Arsenal.

The former Sporting CP star was utterly ineffective in defence, as he was seemingly constantly out of position, so much so that Ally McCoist had to ask "Where's Pedro Porro" on commentary, and then in one of the more striking moments of the game, he was sent tumbling to the floor by Trossard.

It truly was the "nightmare" display Spurs content creator Seb Martin said it was, and unfortunately for Postecoglou, the Spanish full-back was just as anonymous at the other end of the pitch, failing to play any dangerous passes or make any probing run to try and disrupt the immovable Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Again, it might all sound rather harsh, but Gold had a similar opinion on the night, awarding the 25-year-old just a 4/10 and writing that he was 'caught up the pitch for the second goal' and 'didn't offer much else before hitting the outside of the post in the 94th minute.'

His statistics more than back up this appraisal, as in 95 minutes of football, the Don Bentio-born star produced a combined expected goal and assists figure of just 0.09, was dribbled past once, lost three of five duels, lost the ball 15 times, committed two fouls, had a passing accuracy of just 78%, misplaced five of six crosses and four of seven long balls.

Ultimately, it was a night to forget for much of the Spurs team, but both Kinský and Porro were worryingly poor.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is personally eager for the club to move for a "versatile" player who's impressed club scouts, as the Lilywhites continue pursuing their second January signing after missing out on Randal Kolo Muani.

Juventus win race for Kolo Muani as Tottenham miss out

Over the last week and beyond, Spurs and Juventus were reliably believed to be tussling for Kolo Muani's signature - but a winner of the race has now been confirmed by reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano.

On Tuesday evening, Romano dropped his famous "here we go" as Juve pipped Spurs in the battle for Kolo Muani's signature - dealing bad news for Postecoglou, technical director Johan Lange and chairman Daniel Levy, as they are forced to return to the drawing board.

The 26-year-old PSG outcast was deemed by Spurs one of the best attackers available for hire on the January market (David Ornstein), so this news will come as a real blow for the club as they also prepare for a tense North London Derby against Arsenal this evening.

Following their snubbed advances to sign Kolo Muani, Postecoglou's side remain in the market for a new forward, and the Australian has pleaded for his side to bring in some "help" for striker Dominic Solanke.

"If we can get him some help, yeah. Dom has just been outstanding in the way he’s carried the frontline for us during this period," said Postecoglou on support for Solanke.

"With Dom being a new player, it probably would have been easier for him to slip in and do his job but he’s taken on the responsibility of helping the whole team. He’s been great for us. I really feel there is more to him and his game. We’ll be able to get more out of him if we can him some help."

As well as another attacking option, reports suggest they're in the market for another midfielder. Tottenham are targeting Inter Milan's Davide Frattesi as one option for that role, while it is believed Palmeiras star Richard Rios is on their agenda as well.

Ange Postecoglou really wants Richard Rios at Tottenham

As per CaughtOffside, sharing an update on their links to the Colombia international, Postecoglou is personally "very keen" for Tottenham to sign Rios.

This follows reports that Spurs had an official bid rejected for Rios very recently, and while it is unclear how much they offered, he could actually be snapped up for much cheaper than his £84 million release clause.

The 24-year-old signed a new contract in October 2024, including the seismic clause, but reports in South America claimed soon afterward that Palmeiras won't sell for any less than £13 million (Hoy Diario del Magdalena via Sport Witness).

Rios is said to have really impressed N17 scouts as well. However, Spurs face stiff competition from Everton and Nottingham Forest, who are pushing hard to land the South American.

We are pretty much halfway through silly season now, and as things stand, the only addition Tottenham Hotspur have made to their injury-riddled squad is that of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.

Now, the former Slavia Prague shot-stopper has seriously impressed thus far, but given the hole in the Lilywhites' squad, he simply cannot be the only signing Daniel Levy and Co make this month.

There were strong links to Paris Saint-Germain's exciting forward Randal Kolo Muani over the last week or so, but he now looks set to join Serie A giants Juventus on a short-term loan.

Fortunately, it appears as if the club are not letting this setback stop them from looking for another attacker, as recent reports have linked them to another exciting forward from Ligue 1, a forward who looks like he could be miles better than the Frenchman.

Tottenham chase free-scoring forward

According to a recent report from Daily Mail journalist Matt Barlow, Tottenham are one of several sides interested in signing OGC Nice star Evann Guessand.

Alongside the Lilywhites, the report has revealed that fellow Premier League teams West Ham United and Bournemouth are keen to bring the Ivorian international to England this month.

The good news for Levy and Co is that it shouldn't cost them too much to sign the 23-year-old ace this month, with the report revealing that offers in excess of £20m should be enough to tempt the French side to come to the table.

He might not be a household name in England, but based on his form this season, signing Guessand for £20m could be a brilliant deal, especially as he's been far more impressive than Kolo Muani.

How Guessand compares to Kolo Muani

So, with Kolo Muani now almost certainly off the table as an option for Spurs this month, would signing Guessand instead be a wise option? How does he stack up to his fellow Ligue 1 attacker?

Well, despite having a much lower profile in world football, the Nice star actually comes out way ahead of his older counterpart when we compare their pure output from this season, which for strikers is what matters more than anything.

For example, in 25 appearances, totalling 1937 minutes, the "very interesting" Nice star, as analyst Ben Mattinson described him, has scored nine goals and provided five assists, equating to a goal involvement on average every 1.78 games, or every 138.35 minutes.

In contrast, the PSG ace has scored two goals and provided one assist in 14 appearances this season, totalling 453 minutes, which works out to an average of a goal involvement every 4.66 games, or every 151 minutes.

Moreover, while it is a little closer when we compare their underlying numbers from this season, the 23-year-old Ivorian still emerges victorious in the majority of relevant metrics.

For example, he produces more actual non-penalty goals plus assists, scores more goals per shot and shot on target, completes more progressive passes and carries, has a better passing accuracy, produces more shot-creating actions and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, Spurs fans might be understandably upset over missing out on the talented Kolo Muani this week, but from a pure output and underlying metric perspective, Guessand looks to be the far superior player.

Therefore, Levy and Co should be doing all they can to ensure they get this deal done ahead of the chasing pack.

Under the management of Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur have become, without a doubt, one of the most entertaining teams to watch in European football.

The Australian's philosophy and methods ensure that, whether at home or away, there will be a bucketload of goals when Spurs play.

However, to get the absolute most out of this style of football, the team needs a ground-covering monster in the middle of the park, someone ready to crunch into tackles and then progress the ball rapidly up the pitch, someone like Chelsea's Moises Caicedo.

Fortunately, while they can't go out and sign the Ecuadorian, the club have recently been linked to another exciting defensive midfielder who's been compared to him.

Tottenham chase midfield monster

According to a recent report from Caught Offside, Tottenham are one of several teams interested in signing Palmeiras star Richard Rios this month.

In fact, the report has revealed that the North Londoners have already seen an offer rejected by the Brazilian outfit but are still keen to bring him to N17, while the likes of Nottingham Forest and Everton are also pushing to land the Colombian international.

The report has revealed that the 24-year-old midfielder has a €100m release clause in his current contract, but it's far more likely that a lower offer will eventually be accepted.

It could end up being a costly and complicated transfer to get over the line this month, but considering Rios' ability, it's one worth pursuing, especially as he's been compared to the brilliant Caicedo.

How Rios compares to Caicedo

So, Spurs fans might not like him all that much - he is a Chelsea star, after all - but Rios being a primarily defensive midfielder and being compared to Caicedo is a tremendously encouraging sign, but where has this comparison come from?

Well, it primarily stems from FBref, which compared players in similar positions at last year's Copa América, then created a list of the ten most comparable players for each one, and, in this instance, concluded that the Ecuadorian was the most similar midfielder to the Colombian at the tournament.

We can better understand how this conclusion was reached by looking at the underlying metrics in which the pair rank closely, including, but not limited to, progressive passes received, non-penalty expected goals, passing accuracy, passes into the penalty area, blocks, aerial duels won and more, all per 90.

However, it's not just a comparison to the Blues' midfield general that makes the Vegachí-born star such an appealing prospect, as his general underlying numbers from the last 365 days have also been brilliant.

For example, FBref has placed the "ball-carrying machine," as dubbed by analyst Ben Mattinson, in the top 2% of midfielders in the next best 14 competitions for tackles in the final third, the top 7% for dribblers challenged and take-ons attempted, the top 8% for total shots, top 10% for passes blocked, the top 11% for goals plus assists and more, all per 90.

On top of that, Mattinson also describes the dynamic ace as a "press-resistant" monster with an "engine which allows him to get up and down the pitch all game," which makes him sound like the perfect addition to Postecoglou's all-action side.

Ultimately, there are risks to signing a player from outside of Europe, but Rios looks like the real deal, and with comparisons to a star like Caicedo, Spurs should make sure they sign him before someone else gets there first.

It's been another campaign of highs and lows for Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Ange Postecoglou's side are currently sitting in 12th in the Premier League and closer to relegation than the Champions League, but have made it through to the fourth round of the FA Cup and hold a 1-0 lead in the League Cup semi-final.

However, to give themselves the best chance of going out and finally ending their trophy drought this year, the club must bring in some real talent this month, the sort of players who can change a game from the first minute or off the bench.

Sadly, their efforts to sign one player hasn't been successful..

Tottenham targeted talented forward

According to a recent report from French outlet L'Équipe, Tottenham had maintained their genuine interest in Paris Saint-Gerrmain ace and Juventus target Randal Kolo Muani.

In fact, the report revealed that the North Londoners had already made an offer to take the Frenchman on loan for the rest of the season with an option to buy.

However, this offer has been rejected and, according to Fabrizio Romano, he is now set to join Juventus with the Italian journalist giving the deal his famous 'here we go'.

Given Kolo Muani has been described as "one of the best forwards in Europe" by former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, it will be a bitter blow for Daniel Levy and Co.

He could well have been the next Lucas Moura too...

Why Kolo Muani could have been the next Moura

Okay, before we look at some of the other reasons Spurs should be looking to sign Kolo Muani as soon as possible, let's examine why he could have been the next Moura for the club.

The first reason is incredibly straightforward, and it is simply the fact that if he moved to Spurs this month, he'd have followed in the Brazilian's footsteps from PSG to N17 in a January deal - just seven years later.

The second reason is that, like Sao Paulo-born dynamo, the former Eintracht Frankfurt star can play across multiple positions in the attack, from either wing to straight down the middle.

However, while the similarities to a player who gave Spurs fans one of the best nights of their lives is great, it's not the only reason Daniel Levy and Co were looking to sign him.

Instead, they should have been looking to bringing him to North London because when he's given a chance to regularly start games, he's sensational.

For example, the "very complete" forward, as dubbed by Kylian Mbappe, racked up a pretty impressive haul of 12 goals and six assists in 44 appearances last season, which is an average of a goal involvement every 2.44 games.

However, in the campaign prior to that, when he was unquestionably the main man for Frankfurt, he was simply unstoppable, scoring 23 goals and providing 17 assists in just 46 appearances, which comes to an average of a goal involvement every 1.15 games.

Finally, on top of his impressive record at the club level, the goalscoring "superstar," as dubbed by German legend Lothar Matthaus, has won 27 senior caps for France, in which he's scored eight goals and provided four assists, proving he can do it at the highest level.

Ultimately, Spurs need attacking reinforcements this month, and missing out on Kolo Muani certainly won't help their cause.
