Tottenham striker signing plan revealed after Dominic Solanke news – sources.
Tottenham are scouring the market for a new striker signing ahead of the 3 February transfer deadline, sources have told Football Insider.
Spurs are planning to secure two new signings before the end of the window having already sealed a deal for goalkeeper Antonín Kinský earlier this month.
It is believed Tottenham are keen to add a new centre-back to their ranks in a bid to end the makeshift state of their rearguard, which has caused problems in recent months.
Ange Postecoglou and his transfer team had already been planning to sign a new forward in this window, even before the news emerged about Dominic Solanke – who will be out for weeks with a knee injury.
Randal Kolo Muani had been a target after Paris Saint-Germain made the France international available, but he is putting the finishing touches to a Juventus switch.
The 26-year-old has been pictured undergoing a Juve medical and has even trained with his new team – who have been unable to announce his signing due to a hold-up on PSG’s end.
Tottenham must now look elsewhere to add firepower to their strikeforce – which is currently also without Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner, as well as Solanke, through injury.
Tottenham eye move for Kolo Muani alternative before 3 February deadline
Johnson (12 goals) is the top scorer for Spurs, in front of former Bournemouth man Solanke – who has hit 11 strikes.
Heung-min Son, who has primarily lined up on the left wing this term, has scored just eight goals for Postecoglou’s side this term.
Tottenham sit 15th in the Premier League and are only eight points above the drop zone after 21 games of the 2024-25 campaign.
Fans have directed anger at Daniel Levy over a lack of transfer activity this month, with the away faithful present at the 3-2 Everton defeat on Sunday (19 January) calling for him to step down.
