It’s been a draining season for Tottenham Hotspur.
Ange Postecoglou’s side came into the campaign hopeful of doing one better than their fifth-place finish last year and qualifying for the Champions League, yet as things stand, they have lost more Premier League games than they’ve won and sit nearer the relegation zone than the top four places.
Now, while a significant reason for their poor results can be attributed to questionable tactics from the manager, the North Londoners have also been utterly ravaged by injuries.
The Australian hasn’t been able to field his first-choice backline for almost the entire campaign, and now he’s set to be without club-record signing Dominic Solanke for at least six weeks.
Fortunately, recent reports have touted another Premier League poacher for a move to N17 this month, a forward who might actually be better than the injured Spurs ace.
One of the players they are keen on is Brentford star Yoane Wissa, although they are not the only ones, with Nottingham Forest and Arsenal also credited with interest in reports from earlier this month.
The story does not reveal how much the 28-year-old sharpshooter might cost to get out of West London this month, but as his £25k-per-week contract is set to expire next summer, there’s a chance that said price won’t be too exorbitant.
It could be a complicated transfer to get over the line for Spurs, but given Wissa’s incredible form, it’s one well worth pursuing, especially as he might even be better than Solanke.
