Spurs prioritise attacking signing

Manager Ange Postecoglou has called for "help" in the transfer window, with strikers topping the agenda at Tottenham.

A six-week knee injury for Dominic Solanke has only increased the need as Postecoglou looks for a forward that can play multiple positions in his attack.

Richarlison was substituted to boos on Sunday with 17-year-old winger Mikey Moore the only option on the bench.

The anger was at the fact that, while chasing a game, Spurs had to take off a striker who was simply not fit enough to continue.

Postecoglou had 10 players out for the 2-1 defeat by Leicester on Sunday but Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence are among those returning within the next week or two - reducing the need to sign a defender.

PSG's Randall Kolo Muani, who has since joined Juventus, was rumoured to have been a target.
