TRANSFER TALK


Tottenham are looking for a central attacking midfielder and a wide attacker, but are we looking for both or one or the other?

Everyone seems to assume that if we buy a wide attacker that Nacer Chadli will have to be sold or Alex Pritchard. On the right we have Erik Lamela, backed up by Son Heung-min and Clinton Njie. On the left we have Christian Eriksen, Nacer Chadli and Alex Pritchard.

We don't know how Pochettino rates Njie, last ITK was that he was unsure about him, but he has had injury problems. It seems unlikely that we need a wide attacker for the right, unless we want to move Lamela centrally and rotate with Alli.

If we are looking for a wide attacker for the left, then that would allow Eriksen to move centrally and rotate with Alli or for us to bring someone on wide and move him central during games. We need, at times, someone who can unlock teams centrally.

Sofaine Boufal plays all three, primarily central, Georginio Wijnaldum plays central or on the left. It will be interesting to see who we make moves for as opposed to being linked to, they are rather different things.
