Despite already splashing upwards of \u00a3200m in the summer transfer market, Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> are still on the hunt for added reinforcements ahead of the 2026\/27 campaign.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The likes of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes have already arrived in North London, with Roberto De Zerbi<\/a>\u2019s overhaul of the club\u2019s midfield department seemingly complete.<\/p>\n However, the Italian has quickly shifted his attention to other areas of the pitch, with the attacking department one which the 47-year-old appears desperate to improve.<\/p>\n Landing added reinforcements in such an area is hardly a surprise, as one player massively struggled to provide the consistent presence needed for success.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Back in the summer of 2024, Spurs fans were full of excitement after the hierarchy broke their club-record and forked out \u00a365m for the signature of striker Dominic Solanke<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, two years on, it appears as though the hierarchy are on the hunt for another talented talisman, with the 28-year-old struggling to match the demands of the supporters.<\/p>\n The Englishman endured an injury-hit 2025\/26 campaign in North London, subsequently only making 15 appearances in the Premier League and netted only three times.<\/p>\n As a result, he missed 60% of the Lilywhites\u2019 games in England\u2019s top-flight, but his stats upon his return from his fitness issues also highlight why De Zerbi\u2019s men need another attacking option this window.<\/p>\n Most PL mins played by Spurs attackers (2025\/26)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n Player<\/p>\n<\/th>\n Mins<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n Richarlison<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 1957<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Xavi Simons<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 1757<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Randal Kolo Muani<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 1670<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Mohammed Kudus<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 1545<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Dominic Solanke<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 1000<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Wilson Odobert<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 980<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n James Maddison<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 34<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Dejan Kulusevski<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n Solanke failed to register at least a shot on target per game upon his return to the first-team squad, with his tally of 0.8 efforts per 90 ranking him below 70% of players in his position.<\/p>\n He was often unable to provide the focal point needed at the top end of the pitch – subsequently winning just 30% of his aerial duels, a tally bettered by 75% of other strikers in the Premier League.<\/p>\n His constant injury issues and his lack of form when called upon showcase why the Englishman ultimately can\u2019t be the club\u2019s number one striker throughout 2026\/27.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This summer has showcased ENIC\u2019s ambitions of making Spurs a force to be reckoned with next term, with the hierarchy showing no signs of slowing down their efforts in the market.<\/p>\n Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is a player who has been continuously linked<\/a> with the Lilywhites, but it remains unclear if a deal is realistic given his mammoth wage demands.<\/p>\n He\u2019s not the only player to emerge on the club\u2019s transfer shortlist of late, with AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun<\/a> another talent who\u2019s currently being explored.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been reported by Football Insider that De Zerbi\u2019s men have been monitoring the USA international and could make a move for his signature before the end of the window.<\/p>\n The report also states that the player himself would be open to a move away from the Ligue 1 outfit this summer, but no deal for the 25-year-old is imminent.<\/p>\n\n Why Spurs need to replace Dominic Solanke this summer<\/strong>
