Tottenham Hotspur have to sign a new No. 9 in the winter transfer window. They failed to do enough to land a potential goal scorer to help shore up their team's most obvious weakness, and, if anything, Spurs somehow got worse at scoring goals by Roberto De Zerbi completely striking the leading scorer from last season who already was not good enough to start, Richarlison, from the squad after a falling out on transfer deadline day.
Eli Junior Kroupi is the one young, dynamic, high potential striker who can help the team here and now, but he may be unachievable in the winter transfer window with how strict Bournemouth are about not selling France's No. 9 of the future - and potentially PSG's next big signing.
So Spurs are going to have to look to alternatives, and one player who is being increasingly linked to the club is Icelandic international Orri Oskarsson at Real Sociedad. Spurs and their former manager Mauricio Pochettino of Manchester United could be among the La Liga standout, who has emerged as a key player for La Real with 4 goals in just 600 minutes, starting 6 of his 10 appearances. Oskarsson could cost less than 20 million pounds, though it is telling that the main clubs linked to hi are mid level Premier League sides Everton, Brentford, and Newcastle United.
Tottenham Hotspur need to aim higher. Although Oskarsson is a better punt than Dominic Solanke was since he will cost one quarter of the amount Spurs wasted on Daniel Levy's No. 9 of choice to effectively succeed Harry Kane, he is still a misstep because he just isn't good enough to be a star player at the high end of the Premier League table.
Spurs are going to spend 60 million pounds at the end of the season on a better player in Omar Marmoush who still hasn't been good enough to be the solution at the No. 9. With all due respect to Orri Oskarsson, who is just 22 years of age, most of his goals have been beating up on weaker La Liga and international sides. And his other underlying numbers are terrible; his dribbling statistics are almost as poor as Dominic Solanke's.
Oskarsson is a good player, but he is a good player for a mid table team. Tottenham need to look past the budget options and at star players who can actually move the needle in the Champions League race.
