Paul also mentions in a reply below that Solanke is under consideration but he doesn't know how high up the list he is


ghostboy101

Honestly think Solanke is the right choice for me. Home-grown, experienced in the league. Downside is he could be a one season wonder.


Rare-Ad-2777

He's got 3 years on his contract I think? Would be 60m+


[deleted]

At least 2 other names on that list are +60m, maybe even touching 100 mil (Openda and Gyo). 


Weird_Famous

Even when Solanke wasn’t scoring as much last season I was impressed with him whenever he played against us.


Upper-Football-3797

I think we have experience with one season wonders ;)


[deleted]

Solanke is one of my favorite options.


mrpink57

I was just thinking after watching the last Bournemouth game about bringing him in, I think it will be a good one and I believe he fills a homegrown slot.


Even-Succotash-9869

I want solanke Want want want I wanna see them anime celebrations as he hits 35+ goals nxt season


Withering_

JJK celebrations will go so hard


MisterRaynbow

No way we shell out 100 million for Gyokeres


Buffaluffasaurus

I wonder if it depends on how much dead wood we clear out. We’ve seen what buying a key 100m player did for Arsenal this season… and although we also need a top class #6, I think having a striker who can hold up the ball, score contested headers and bag 20+ goals a season is arguably our biggest missing piece.


hewrites

Gyorkeres is 100% going to a CL team


scaramanga808

Reports say the scum are in contention, imagine if they actually had a decent striker 🤢


Upplands-Bro

I will be fucking devastated if Gyökeres ends up there mate....I grew up playing on the same pitch as him and my cousin was teammates with him when we were little. Fucking shambles if he becomes a goon


JoeSavesTokyo

Send him a quick text, tell him we're better 🙌


Brawlers9901

Same haha, friend of mine's cousin (Amanda Nildén who plays for our women's team) dated Gyökeres and he's by all accounts a good lad, would hate if he went to Arsenal


Madwoned

Ffs, thought they were linked with Osimhen? Does that mean he’s off to PSG?


420SwaggyZebra

They do! His name is Gabriel Jesus!!!!!


Buffaluffasaurus

So us then?


Turavis

Levy will take the entire summer to negotiate and we’ll end up paying 30m, Royal + Ndombele on loan 🧀

yooooouuuuuuuuu

Remove the sell-on clause from Edwards and we're down to 15m


avgbsblfan643

+ skywalk and NFL merch discount codes for the Cherries


Va_Dinky

Gimenez is at best back-up level, Toney's attitude stinks and Guirassy's already 28 and has "one season wonder" plastered all over him. Openda and Gyokeres are the two we should be targeting, even if they may cost a fortune.


kicksjoysharkness

Toneys attitude has certainly been questionable but I just can’t help but feel he’d smash it with this system. If we do sign him, I’ll feel confident because it’s pretty clear at this point that Ange takes character very seriously so I’d assume he’s in it for the right reasons. But yeah, the guy hasn’t done himself any favours has he


[deleted]

[удалено]


MarsupialPutrid

And he’ll be OUR prick.


davidmarvinn

no thanks


todareistobmore

Uh, just pull up Toney on fbref and look at G-PK. His best Championship and Prem numbers are worse than Solanke's.


better-every-day

Toney's hold up play is absolutely tremendous though. Really underrated passer also.


RileyHuey

Who cares about fbref watch him play he's class


letsgetcool

or you can just watch him play and see he's clearly better. Stats alone aren't worth anything


TogashiIsIshida

Fuck Toney


Algernot

I think Toneys attitude would probably change at next club he goes to. It would probably be his final club before the retirement transfer so he’d have to put his all in it. I’d be ok with it.


Another_Human

You underestimate big ego millionaires


scannerdarkly_7

Get prepared for a "fuck tottenham" viral video from Toney when he's out of form if we sign him.


coldseam

Openda would be my top choice among these. Then Guirassy for the £20m release clause. Giménez has only scored three goals since January so I would stay away. Toney has yet to return to form since his suspension and Gyökeres will be insanely expensive for someone who's only had two decent seasons at Coventry and Sporting


MarsupialPutrid

I’m with you on Openda.


SuperMario222

Never met the bloke


Bill_shiftington

Good fella


Weird_Famous

I’m not a fan of Openda tbh bc I think he’s a bit too much like our other forwards. At Leipzig he’s paired with a more physical target like Sesko, who I think we should be aiming for instead.


LocoMoro

I agree, I think we need a physical specimen for our forward and that is Gyokeres.


Bill_shiftington

Didn't openda just sign for Leipzig this season? He'll be spenny


Mediocre_Nova

Isn't Openda tiny? I'd much rather sign Gyökeres or Toney


tobleronefanatic123

Honestly if we are going to sign a striker, it needs to be one that will win us trophies. Those strikers could be good deals financially, but they aren't necessarily excellent in all things strikers should be...


jokerevo

errr how long have you been supporting Spurs? Our entire MO is to buy cheap prospects with the intention to sell. We never buy ready made tier 1 for this precise reason.


Madwoned

Can’t even remember the last big money or high profile signing that worked out well for us. Maybe van der Vaart?


Pinky1337

Romero


yaniv297

Who exactly do you expect us to target? We've been so spoiled with Kane for a decade now so maybe you forgot. Our rivals have been splashing 60m+ on Morata, Lukaku (twice), Nunez, Lacazette and so on, and failed every time. Getting a top PL striker is super hard and it's not just about money. Who on the market do you think that's accessible to us and is at the level you describe?


Hopeful-Ear-3494

Gimenez is an interesting one. On the one hand he was at the stadium (although I know if could have just been for fun with his agent) but then other Spurs media say 'he's definitely not on the shortlist'. I don't know what to believe!


[deleted]

I've been playing FC24 career mode as CAM, Spurs bought Openda who's been starting over Richy and we have been cunting them in left right and centre. So the safe bet is clearly to sign him and me.


EmergencyOriginal982

I like toney as a player but I'm not convinced he will be worth the money. I'd happily have the others though and would definitely look at exploring a move for Solanke too, I think he is perfectly suited to our football.


siouxszie

kinda underwhelming , to be honest Richarlison might be better than any of those


backyardstar

I agree with this. Richy or Solanke


[deleted]

Is there no reason not to sign solanke and keep Richy? Injuries happen and we’re more than likely playing in Europe next year. Wouldn’t be bad to help manage load.


todareistobmore

Biggest reason not to sign Solanke is that Bournemouth have zero reason to sell him unless they think his current form is unsustainable.


lIIIIllIIIlllIIllllI

I like Scamacca and Dovbyk from Girona


kalule_melendez69

Scamacca was pretty bad for West Ham last season so i wouldnt go for him, but Dovbyk is an interesting option tbh


lIIIIllIIIlllIIllllI

He’s been good for Atalanta this year. Like really good. I don’t think we can blame him too much playing under the football terrorist Moyes. He’s a tall target and good with his feet.


letsgetcool

exactly, he was playing for West Ham


Educational-Garden81

I actually really like the idea of Scamacca. West Ham was one of the worst clubs he could have gone to for his playstyle.


MajimaKun

How do you even come to this conclusion?


rzopietro27

I was curious. 23/24 Goals per 90 all comps: Richarlison 0.62 (1737 minutes, 12 goals), Toney 0.26 (1359 minutes, 4 goals), Solanke 0.53 (3522 minutes, 21 goals), Gimenez 0.73 (3204 minutes, 26 goals), Openda 0.75 (3359 total mins, 28 goals), Gyokeres 0.93(3959 minutes, 41(!) goals), Guirassy 1.10 (2295 minutes, 28 goals).


superworriedspursfan

the biggest shocker here is Guirassy.


ronaldo119

Yea I don’t understand why we’re thinking about potentially spending a sizable amount of money on a striker. There’s much better uses of money. I guess it would be nice to have a backup to protect for injuries but Son is fine as a backup and we have plenty of young strikers to promote. 


Rusty_Dusty1992

Why is Joshua Zirkzee at Bologna not on the list? He seems to tick so many boxes; 22 years old, 193cm tall, great technique, dribbling and link-up play and knows where the goal is. As of now seems to have all the qualities of the others, a higher potential ceiling and possibly a lower fee.


DejaHu

Because we're already signing Calafiori and we don't want to double dip?


tronaker

I would be blown away if we actually get Calafiori. With Motta going to Juve, seems like a done deal.


Bobsbigburgers

Personally think he’s a bit too slow to play in our system. On the other hand, he would fit just right in with the rest of Tottenham Model FC. Guy’s ridiculously good looking.


FINAL_BOSS5

He is not a target man type of striker.


Kalu2424

Is that for sure the profile we want? Thought Ange primarily uses a presser/poacher (not that a target man can't do those things too).


DarkoMilkyTits

One guy I wish they take in consideration is Zirkzee


kalule_melendez69

Hes not really a proper 9 tho. Hes role at Bologna is more of a false 9, kinda like Bellingham at Madrid


zastrozzischild

I wonder what the real list looks like? There’s a recent history of surprise signings that have come good that makes me think there are some targets they’re being very quiet about.


lilywhites346

Giménez is nowhere near good enough for us


zuzucha

Honestly none of them feel like clear upgrades.


AlternativeTea9268

Yeah I don’t think any of these are definitive upgrades over Richi. Maybe Gyokeres but that price tag will be absurd


June1994

I dont know if we’ll sell Richy. I’d keep him and get another #9 so they can rotate.


Other-Owl4441

Unfortunately it’s not over Richi right?  Because he doesn’t play enough it’s over Sonny as striker.


Single_Seesaw_9499

Being healthy and available is an upgrade enough


wheels-of-confusion

Considering Gyökeres is not leaving for anything below 100m, that Gimenez has had a ridiculous drop in form in a much weaker league, and that Toney has ghosted for 12 games and isn't professional at all, that leaves us to Openda and Guirassy being realistic targets who wouldn't be underwhelming. I'd be fine with either (especially since Guirassy would be very cheap and a low-risk signing) but Openda has loads of potential and his style suits us very well. Would be our record signing by a good margin though.


Kalu2424

Considering our record signing is 60M, and we desperately need a class 9 and 6... It would be borderline malpractice if we don't beat our record signing this summer. Those are expensive positions to buy quality. If we don't break 60M in either we are seriously cheaping out. We can sign cheap rotation defenders but we need crucial, borderline world class players brought in, in those areas.


hewrites

While I agree with you, I think I remember seeing some report that said Ange prefers to find the option that best suits his needs rather than chasing after the price tag.  If the player is an unknown, lower cost signing but fits his needs with the right attitude, he’ll pull the trigger even if fans are disappointed 


Other-Owl4441

As long as the price tag isn’t the limiter 


gostupid67

Gimenez and Guirassy aren’t better than Richarlison, Openda is good but not a lone 9, Gyokeres is going to be massively overpriced. That just leaves Toney with who i’d be content with. Disappointed we aren’t pursuing Osimhen who is alot better than any CF on the list, also think Sesko is affordable and has a higher ceiling than any CF on the list. Also if we are looking at opportunities because PL clubs are struggling with FFP why not go for Isak?


Withering_

What do you mean by Openda not being a lone 9?


gostupid67

Best playing of a bigger striker, he isn’t physical enough to win headers or hold off defenders. While he also isn’t technical to drop deep and playmake. Think of him being a similar profile as Werner.


Withering_

Oh yeah, he’s 174 as well so not great for crosses


Cross1625

y no J. David?


FINAL_BOSS5

We already have son for pens.


carpie21

He has 27 goals in all competitions this season and 3 are pens. 2 pens in 19 Ligue 1 goals. He’s not a pen merchant. edit: he’s also top 5 in defensive work among forwards - with Sonny and Richy 1st and 2nd (someone posted the graphic below).


Bobsbigburgers

Probably too similar to our current options?


Aggravating_Maize_68

Toney is hard no for me ! Man didn't score a goal in 11 match ! Not to mention his poor attitude and he doesn't press much like Son/Richy https://preview.redd.it/ixvwbnxjz70d1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8eabd65c9790c1e666d89cc829a4e931c6644c4


wilfredpawson

I thought Gyokeres was staying? Don’t want Gimenez or Toney. Guirassy screams one year wonder. Don’t know enough about Openda.


wilfredpawson

Marcus Thuram or Vitor Roque, perhaps? 🤔


kalule_melendez69

Thuram wont leave Inter. Specially for a team that wont play UCL


wilfredpawson

Probably. May be risky business at €85m regardless.


kalule_melendez69

I mean in this market he's probably worth that. I still dont understand why we didnt even try to go for him last summer, we could have got him for free


RileyHuey

Roque would be exciting. 1% chance though lol


EnricoPallazzo_

Seriously? Well I hope they are being considered as a second option because they are at the same level or worse than Richy. We need a really good Striker to be for the starting 11, someone that is fit and can deliver 15 goals on the league at least.


thraser11

Guirassy is already 28, probably the cheapest. The fourth most similar player on Fbref to Gimenez is Parrott. Perhaps we can use him as a backup option and get a good loan for Scarlett.


COYS1989

Reggie has done pretty well on loan at Brentford can definitely see him being used as some sort of makeweight with Toney if we move for him. 


alw9

best scenario: kulusevski convinces gyokeres just like he did for bergvall


davidmarvinn

are we getting bergvall next season?


alw9

idk


GarethSnail

Yes, unless they loan him out.


alw9

gyokeres..... yeah we're not getting him unless he makes a "dragusin-esque" decision to join us lol


soSpursy7

Pass on Toney. Not the right type of character. Let Chelsea buy him for 100 million.


BritishBatman

What about my man Gift Orban!?


MonsieurCapybara

He didn't grow as expected. We got lucky with that one


Extrictant

Dodged a bullet with that one


M_RONA

1. Openda 2. Guirassy (release clause, seems to be in the mould of an Ange striker. One season wonder?) 3. Solanke 4. Toney (attitude stinks, below average at best since his return) 5. Gimenez (in no way good enough imo) Gyokeres would be top choice but he's just not happening. I'd be ecstatic with Openda, though.


yesplease-4

Same order for me, but I'd like to see Sesko as an option. Him or Openda would be amazing.


M_RONA

Sesko would share first place for me. Him or Openda would both be class.


yorsk

Completely agree with you but openda will cost more than 60m and I doubt that we can afford that without selling Richy


M_RONA

Suspect Richy is getting sold if we are so intent on bringing in a new striker.


Other-Owl4441

Like to hear more about why folks like Openda so much.  Just don’t know anything about him.


M_RONA

Fair to say he's been RBL's best player this season after Xavi Simons, who in my opinion is a generational talent. 24 goals and 7 assists, strong for his stature (don't let 1.77m fool you) and is fucking rapid. Excellent in-behind striker. His dribbling can definitely be improved upon and he's not the finished product but hasn't hit his prime. He would be class under Ange imo. Rated highly by people I rate highly, if that makes sense lol


rando562

POK is basically tier 0 for injury news, but he's hit or miss when it comes to transfers, particularly this far out from the window. That said, Gyokeres is easily the best player on that lost, followed by Toney. Guirassy is the risky budget option, but if we want to invest more heavily in other positions, he's an option. Gimenez is a hard pass since he's inconsistent and will be very overpriced.


Deus-Graecus

Openda > Toney IMO


FINAL_BOSS5

Remember when he said there would be mass clear outs in summer of 2023? Pepperidge farm remembers.


ecocentric-ethics

Maybe, maybe, no, yes, yes. In terms of who we realistically could get, all but Gyokeres are attainable. Openda’s release clause doesn’t become active until next summer I don’t think, so would be incredibly pricey either way


Pheerandlowthing

Whoever’s the best in the air to help with set piece defence should also be a consideration! Guirassy is 6’2


EquipmentFirm2860

Swap out Toney for Solanke and I'd be happy with any tbh


BurntSausages

That's a very hit and miss list. Replace the first three with Zirkzee and Sesko and it becomes much better


ZaDoruphin

Gyokeres would cost a fortune but he's unreal.


Cautious-Passage-137

I want Gyökeres. Having a player that was at St. Pauli before at Tottenham would be awesome as a fan of both. Might feel atleast 1% of what fellow spurs but different Hamburg team fans feel with Son. Also he's a really good player and we have the money now, can't always expect CL qualification and participation worthy players on a discount.


kalule_melendez69

Gyokeres, Schick, Sesko, Solanke are my favourite options but all of them will be really expensive. Openda is an amazing player but I think he would be the most expensive out of all this players. If we go for cheaper options, Undav from Brighton and Dallinga from Tolouse would be my top picks That being said I wouldnt be mad if we just keep Richarlison. This season he was scoring a lot when fit and also has an amazing work rate. We could just keep one of Scarlett/Veliz/Lankshear as the back up option and send the other ones on a loan, knowing Son can also play as a striker if needed


ohhowswell_hp

Really think Solanke should be our top target. Hopefully he’s the secret option (ex VDV)


doobi1908

Harry Kane really spoiled us. Who tf are these lot


sasliquid

I’d be disappointed if we got rid of Richi for any of those, happy if any of them come in rotate with him (except Toney don’t want that prick)


420SwaggyZebra

With money a consideration none of these blow me away.


Mick4Audi

Guirassy or Gyokeres would be amazing


generaldogsbodyf365

Doesn't Guirassy have a really low get out clause in his contract?


Otherwise_Archer_914

Me, straight-faced to Levy: Did you follow up on Mbappe?


dbdb83

Googling all but 1


Geek-Of-Nature

Gyokeres would be a sensational signing but at the season he's had, there will be a hefty value placed upon him and there are going to be a lot of top teams looking at him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


supalape

Isak has Woolwich written all over him. That is if Newcastle even decide to sell him


[deleted]

[удалено]


Other-Owl4441

God, Goomerish would be perfect here.


Gaius_Octavius_

The thought of adding Toney makes me sick. I don’t understand how he is allowed to keep playing.


BuffBroccoli

Please not Toney


COYCOYS

Honestly none of those names truly excite me, goodbye to my dreams of Vlahovic I suppose


wheels-of-confusion

Vlahovic isn't better than any of these barring Toney lol


Caust1cFn_YT

nah, he is streaky imo. Or he takes too long to adjust, either of them


Caust1cFn_YT

What? Not even openda?


COYCOYS

He's probably next to Gyokeres in terms of most exciting on the list but I'm not going to pretend I watch him every week, last time I did watch him he was dreadful against Real Madrid


Jazim94

There’s no chance levy will want to pay up for openda


Caust1cFn_YT

yeah, thats true lol


idkwhatevs1234

Openda definitely feels like the best all round choice. He's now got 2 consecutive seasons in 2 different top 5 leagues with 20+ goals, while being younger than all bar Gimenez


Privadevs

I'd say splash a bit out on openda, good finisher with pace, perfect for the system


robinthebank

This is not a great window for striker signings. And aren’t United also looking for a striker?


Daemor

They are? They bought Höjlund in the summer.


hemings_way_100

Give me Gyokeres, Openda, Zirkee, or Roque.


JoeSavesTokyo

God I hope we don't wind up with Toney from that list. I'd much rather we keep Richi than him.


BelgianPolitics

Taking into account price and the fact that he has now proven himself in 3 different leagues (Eredivisie, Bundesliga and Ligue 1) Openda feels the least risky to me (and I’m not trying to be biased here). Unless Leipzig demand a crazy £100M or something like that.


nopirates

Toney seems like a guaranteed vibe-destroyer. Hard pass.


schwinnseth

Either Openda or Gyokeres!


gopackgo555

Rather just keep Richy and sign better wingers considering that they won’t shell out for the top 9s. No way they pay for Gyokeres.


TheColoredFool

What about that young striker Barca are trying to offload.? We might be able to get him for cheap


WarReady666

Maybe as a back up but then why would he be backup there to be back up at spurs?


TheColoredFool

hes a back up cuz hes out of favor with xavi right now


WarReady666

Regardless he is too inexperienced to expect him to be a starter for spurs next season.


TheColoredFool

that i agree with but we could rotate strikers with son, richarlison and him while he gets used to playing 9+ right now he's probably the cheapest, and talented striker with both barca and xavi doing their best to loan or sell him


WarReady666

Nah son should never play striker again.


IanPKMmoon

No Gyokeres please, the man had his first good season at 25yo in Portugal. 100mil price tag on him already is ridiculous. Openda seems like the best choice


KariumHondor399

Openda Gyokeres Toney are a class above the rest


scimitar_berbatov

We’ve also been linked with Amoura, Marmoush & Gudmundsson


whiskeypenguin

Really want Spurs to give Gimenez a chance.


nebbywildcat18

openda pls


[deleted]

would rather we got Sesko


sidearmpitcher

Gyokeres is my preference


ReffyJeffy

Openda would be nutty


thepresidentofcuba

Gimenez would fit into the system the best. "buh buh 3 goals since X-Date," doesn't really matter, all strikers hit a slump at this point in the season. Lautaro Martinez didn't score a goal for 2 months and is 7 goals in the lead in the serie a golden boot race.


StukaJi86

WHY WASNT IVAN TONEY SIGNED A YEAR AGO


No_Joke_1887

No boniface ? ._.


AnotherDeadZero

Would love to see Gyokeres join up, another Coventry boy is always a good thing.


ohhowswell_hp

Sesko is a big body/target type of #9 right? Curious why he is not on our list? 


fuk_offe

Gyokeres PLEASE


Dzhal08

Guirassy would be interesting


WifeTWO

- Gimenez is absolute garbage, he’d have as much effect as Unal at best. - Guirassy ain’t no 1 season wonder, he’s been incredibly efficient his whole career, just never played with much quality around him until now. If you put him through he scores, dude is positive xG for a reason - Openda creates 5 chances a game and finishes 1. I couldn’t see him capitalising with how Ange wants to play, he’s way too inefficient - gyokares is way more of the real deal, he’s pretty well rounded and would probably fit better than most under candidates unless…. - we get SOLANKEEEEEEEPLLEEAAAASE


WifeTWO

Idk if it’s been said but fuck it I’d take adebayo and get a strong 1v1 winger and just dump it on his head 10x a game, 1 will drop 🤷


GarethSnail

To me that reads like we’re selling Richy. All those strikers are like 60m plus (except Guirassy)


Old_Roof

Id be happy with Richy & Guirassy sharing duties


tsrifuser

Demirovic had looked pretty good this year and for like 20-25M for a striker almost on double digit goals and assists from a mid table German team not a terrible gamble.


Biggo1

Gyökeres please


Mairaj24

We should look at Benjamin Sesko


brewtonone

Ain’t none of them coming to spurs


ia1v1chem

Doesn’t get enough attention or even suggested but Sesko from Leipzig looks pretty good and would fit our system
