Alasdair Gold says there’s now a signing that he’ll be shocked if Tottenham don’t make soon

The north London club have just lost arguably the greatest striker in Premier League history in the shape of Harry Kane, and they need to beef up their frontline if they’re going to thrive in this post-Kane era.

Luckily, it sounds as though help could be on the way.

According to Alasdair Gold, writing in his Q&A for Football.London, Tottenham should have an attacker through the door sooner rather than later.

The journalist says that he’d be stunned if Spurs didn’t soon sign an attacker, suggesting that Gift Orban and Brennan Johnson are the two leading candidates to come in soon.

Gold shared what he knows about Spurs’ transfer plans.

“I’d be stunned if they don’t bring in someone new who can play through the centre though, like a Gift Orban or Brennan Johnson-type, or simply Gift Orban or Brennan Johnson,” Gold said.

Orban and Johnson are both incredibly exciting players, but it has to be said that they wouldn’t be immediate solutions to Spurs’ striking problems.

Tottenham are trying to replace a player who scored 30 goals last season. You don’t do that by signing someone who scored eight in the Premier League last season or even worse a player who has never played at this level before.

With both players being under the age of 23 though, there’s every chance that they could grow into the players Spurs need them to be, and, eventually, this could prove to be a smart bit of business.

Johnson or Orban wouldn’t solve Spurs’ problems straight away, but in a few years’ time, they could be spearheading an incredibly dangerous Tottenham attack.
