Tottenham Hotspur have so many areas of need to address in the summer transfer window, and they have actually already addressed two of them on the defensive side of the ball, having worked on the veteran free agent signings of center back Marcos Senesi and left back Andrew Robertson for a couple of months now.
Fabrizio Romano and other transfer insiders have already confirmed these new additions, and now it is time for Tottenham to make their moves in the middle of the park and on the front line to bolster their attack and to play the sort of confident possession based football that new manager Roberto De Zerbi craves.
Tottenham have been trying to add more goal scoring power, but they have failed to add enough quality in the final third to actually finish the chances off. Their best goal scorer last season was a surprisingly healthy Richarlison, but record signing Dominic Solanke had a poor season while Randal Kolo Muani proved to be the worst loan signing in Spurs history.
Tottenham need a new No. 9
According to a report from Alasdair Gold of Football.London, Tottenham Hotspur are expected to go for a new striker signing in the summer 2026 transfer market, so Gold is just the latest transfer reporter around Spurs to note that striker is on the club's radar as an addition.
Tottenham fans were disappointed with how the club addressed the goal scoring deficit last summer. They knew Son Heung-min was leaving to MLS, yet the only player they signed was Randal Kolo Muani on loan from PSG, thinking Dominic Solanke would be the answer. But Solanke has never been a real goal scoring threat, and both injuries and his own poor play down the stretch of the relegation battle showed that he isn't the answer.
Finding a top striker is not easy. Finding goals is not easy. Spurs will need to bring in another left winger who can compete with the raw Mathys Tel on that left side, and then they will need a new striker to replace Kolo Muani and potentially Richarlison - and relegate Solanke to the backup spot he belongs.
Tottenham have been needing a real ace at the 9 since Harry Kane unsurprisingly left to pursue bigger glory at Bayern Munich, where he has now established himself as one of the best two players in all of world football alongside Barcelona phenom Lamine Yamal. Let the search continue for Spurs with new vigor this summer.
