Tottenham Hotspur will face a difficult assignment in replacing Harry Kane, but the North London club is willing to smash their transfer record in order to do it, according to sources.
Tottenham have been left without a talisman as the Premier League season begins.
What is the most recent Tottenham Hotspur transfer rumor?
Ange Postecoglou has welcomed six new players this summer, including James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Alejo Veliz, Manor Solomon, and Ashley Phillips. Spurs, and by extension chairman Daniel Levy, are reportedly preparing to smash their transfer record in order to recruit an A-list successor for Kane this summer, according to Football Insider.
Their current club record is reported to be £63 million, which was spent on Tanguy Ndombele, who has since had a turbulent period, with loan moves abroad seeking to get his career back on track.
Spurs would have been poised to return to Europe in the coming season after recruiting a number of new players. However, Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich appears to have put an end to those preparations.
Losing their talisman has left them short on forwards, and given Kane’s talent, they may now face the consequences of departures during the summer transfer window.
As things stand, Richarlison will most likely play striker, with the Brazilian given the opportunity to play a key role in Postecoglou’s debut season.
With time remaining in the transfer window, Spurs could yet find themselves an adequate replacement for Kane this summer. And that could come in the form of Gift Orban, who reportedly dreams of playing in the Premier League.
