Tottenham Hotspur faces ongoing challenges as they strive for consistency in both the Premier League and Champions League. Recent performances have raised concerns, especially following a 2-2 draw with Bodo Glimt. This was disappointing for Spurs, considering they had previously beaten the Norwegian side in the Europa League semifinals last year.
Current Struggles in Attack
Tottenham has now gone three games without a win, with a prior 1-1 draw against Wolves compounding their frustrations. Despite various attacking combinations, the team struggles to generate sufficient scoring opportunities. Richarlison, who started the season strongly, has seen his form decline. Meanwhile, the left wing position, currently occupied by Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert, has not yielded the results needed for high-stakes matches.
Transfer Priorities: Focus on Left Wing
As Tottenham analyzes its squad, strengthening the left wing emerges as a pressing priority ahead of the January transfer window. Historically, the club has found success with strikers like Dominic Solanke, who helped secure a Europa League title. His presence, alongside a potentially rejuvenated Richarlison, offers a foundation in the attack. However, securing a proven left winger with a strong goal-scoring record appears to be critical.
- Current left wingers: Mathys Tel, Wilson Odobert
- Strikers available: Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, Randal Kolo Muani
While Randal Kolo Muani, on loan from PSG, has yet to make his debut, he possesses potential based on a solid season at Juventus. His contribution may not materialize immediately, hence the urgency for a more experienced left winger who can deliver consistent performance.
Future Outlook for Tottenham
As Spurs look ahead, the need for immediate improvements is evident. Targeting a left winger capable of netting around ten goals in 30-40 matches would provide a vital boost in their quest to assert dominance in upcoming fixtures. The return of Son Heung-min’s consistent scoring ability will also be welcomed as Tottenham seeks to navigate through this challenging season.
