The season has come to a close, and that means it's time to let transfer rumors begin. Spurs are coming off their most polarizing season in a while, finishing just above the relegation line in the league table but saving the season by winning a major European trophy and the club's first trophy since 2008.
Now the question becomes how Tottenham can use the pull of Champions League football and the money that comes with it to challenge on multiple fronts next season.
Last summer, one of their most significant signings was Dominic Solanke for ยฃ65 million. While Solanke made a substantial impact in his first season in Lilywhite, injuries hindered his momentum, resulting in only nine goals and three assists in 27 Premier League appearances.
It should be a priority for Spurs to sign good competition at the striker position to help compete in multiple competitions, push Solanke, and provide crucial depth in case of another injury crisis.
Here are five names Spurs should consider signing if they genuinely want to compete next season.
Jonathan David
Jonathan David is arguably the most highly sought-after free agent, but if Spurs can convince him, he might be the exact striker they need.
David scored 16 and provided five assists last season in the French League in 32 matches played. However, when you look beyond the goals and assists, David looks even better for Ange Postecoglou's system, also known as Ange-ball.
David had a pass completion percentage of 82.6, ranking him in the 98th percentile among strikers, and played 2.20 progressive passes per 90 minutes. The ability to keep the ball moving quickly is crucial in a Postecoglou attack.
Along with his progressive and accurate passing, he also had 2.53 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes, which indicates an offensive action that directly leads to a shot. A spot where Solanke particularly struggled last season, only creating 1.64.
The addition of David could be precisely what Postecoglou needs to bring back his high-flying Ange ball that captured the hearts of Spurs fans last season.
Victor Osimhen
If Postecoglou is looking for a proven and pure goal scorer this summer, Osimhen might be the perfect option.
The 26-year-old delivered 26 goals and five assists in Galatassary's title-winning season.
He always had an eye for goal this season, ranking in the 99th percentile in total shots and touches in the box. And while his passing stats might not be as influential as David's, he ranked in the 96th percentile in shot-creating action last season, providing 3.79 per 90 minutes.
With the right supporting cast around him, Osimhen could shine in Postecoglou's system and deliver timely goals for Spurs.
Hamza Igamane
If Spurs want a young striker to come in and compete, they should look at Hamza Igamane from Rangers.
Igamane is just 22 years old, and in his first season at the Ibrox, he showed incredible potential. In 23 starts, he scored 12 goals and provided one assist, all from open play.
While his passing was the sharpest, it was progressive. He provided 3.51 progressive passes per 90 minutes and drove the ball forward with his feet, averaging 1.95 progressive carries. It was tough to get the ball from him, with an average of 3.31 successful take-ons per 90 minutes.
Igamane might not be the biggest name or the most polished product, but he has shown the potential to play at a high level, with his ability to score a wonder goal and fluidity in attack.
Viktor Gyokeres
A dream signing for Spurs, Gyokeres could take them to the next level.
The 27-year-old scored an incredible 39 goals and seven assists for Sporting CP, winning back-to-back titles, but don't worry, it even gets better the deeper you dive.
Not only was Gyokeres prolific, but he was also a driving force in his team's attack.
He had 4.94 shot-creating actions, 2.18 progressive passes, and 4.27 progressive carries per 90 minutes. On top of that, he averaged 1.48 goals and assists per 90, for a team that struggled to score goals consistently like Spurs last season, it could be just what the doctor ordered.
Gyokeres is also an imposing striker who shouldn't have trouble adapting to the physicality of the Premier League.
He won't be cheap or easy to convince, as he has a lot of clubs interested in him, even others in North London. However, if Postecoglou and Dejan Kulusevski, his fellow countryman, can convince him of the project building at White Hart Lane, this would be the player for Levy to spend the newfound Championship League riches.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Admittedly, this one isn't nearly as exciting as the others, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be a nice signing for Spurs this summer.
He is homegrown, understands the League, and has had success within it at times. However, it has been bumpy at best since 2020. However, injuries have plagued his time at Everton.
He should be a cheap option and could provide a different tool for Postecoglou to work with.
Despite his struggles, there is still one area in which Calvert-Lewin has excelled in the air. The 6-foot 3-inch striker won 4.72 aerials last season, ranking him in the 92nd percentile.
It's no secret that Spurs struggled to defend corners last season. Calvert-Lewin could help with that, coming on late and winning an all-important header.
He wouldn't be signed to be an every-week starter, but he could provide much-needed experience on the bench, along with the proven ability to play in the League if called upon. Similar to the impact Fernando Llorente had under Mauricio Pochettino.
A busy summer ahead for Spurs
After qualifying for the Champions League, a lot of doors opened for Spurs this summer. Following a disappointing campaign in the League, this will be an important summer.
They will need to strengthen the squad if they want to compete both domestically and abroad, and goals are essential to the free-flowing attacking football that Postecoglou wants to play. Who do you believe Spurs need to target this summer?
