Sure, rebooting the defence and transforming the midfield is cool, but who's going to score Tottenham's goals next season?
Surely we won't be entering 2026/27 with Dominic Solanke and Richarlison atop the striker depth chart, with the raw Mathys Tel unchallenged down the left flank?
Spurs' work in the transfer market so far should leave supporters excited for the campaign ahead, but that enthusiasm will dampen if we fail to adequately bolster a frontline that was either injured or utterly bereft of quality last season.
The club is working on it, but patience is starting to wear thin. The Savinho saga is dragging on, and there's been no notable progress on Eli Junior Kroupi. They're supposedly the top two targets, with Savinho making it clear that he wants to join the Lilywhites.
As many as three new attackers could come through the door by the time the transfer window slams shut. In Spurs' utopia, that'd be Savinho and Kroupi, but what about the other?
Well, I think I might know a guy.
Spurs must consider taking a Rafael Leão gamble
Spurs have reportedly flirted with the idea of signing Rafael Leão this summer. Inside sources suggested the club had spoken to the player's representatives, contrasting Fabrizio Romano's reporting.
The Italian journalist never really associated Leão with the Lilywhites, but has been all over the Savinho pursuit.
Leão's time in Milan has reached a natural conclusion. Despite the removal of Massimiliano Allegri and appointment of Ruben Amorim, the Rossoneri are expected to part ways with the dynamic heartbeat of their 2021/22 Scudetto triumph under Stefano Pioli.
Inconsistency has plagued Leão since, but we saw at the World Cup just how destructive he can be in full flight. That's the temptation for potential suitors this summer, and why I believe it's worth taking a flyer on him. Milan are demanding €50m, which, of course, is hardly pennies, yet it's a bargain rate for a winger who has already proven himself to be among the world's most destructive at his best.
There have been recent links to Türkiye, with both of the big boys trying to facilitate a move, according to reports.
I mean no disrespect to Turkish football, and I know they've been able to attract the likes of Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sané in recent years, but we can't have a star like Leão out of Europe's top-five leagues already.
