Tottenham aims to sign a new striker for the upcoming matches.
Totteham’s recent performance in the Premier League has not met expectations, putting pressure on manager Thomas Frank. The team drew against newly promoted Sunderland at home, dropping more points. Sunderland scored first with Ben Davies netting in the first half.
However, the second half didn’t go well for Tottenham. They struggled to control the game and had to spend most of the half defending. Brian Brobbey scored the equalizer for Sunderland in the 81st minute. Despite Sunderland’s strong season, this result feels more like a missed opportunity for Spurs.
The limited options in attack have raised concerns for Tottenham. Manager Thomas Frank is facing an injury crisis, with several forwards sidelined for the long term. Dominic Solanke hasn’t recovered from his ankle injury and hasn’t played this season. Kolo Muani is also struggling to regain his form following setbacks.

It’s no surprise that Tottenham wants to bring in more goal-scorers during the transfer window. They are looking for a striker who can challenge Richarlison for a starting position. With Solanke unlikely to return soon, they are seeking a long-term solution.
Recent reports have connected Spurs with Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen as they aim to boost their attacking options. The Norwegian is interested in moving to a bigger club, especially with Wolves facing relegation. Reports indicate Wolves had initially set a price of around €50m for him earlier this season.
However, Wolves have eased their position on the 24-year-old. According to Ekrem Konur (via X), they are now willing to sell and have reduced their asking price to around €40m, which helps Spurs in their pursuit. Nevertheless, Tottenham faces competition from Newcastle United, Fulham, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Everton, and Nottingham Forest, all interested in signing the striker in January.
Should Tottenham invest heavily in Jorgen Strand Larsen?
Strand Larsen has had a difficult season with Wolves, scoring only three goals in 20 matches, which raises questions about the €40m valuation. He seems to lack confidence and may not immediately impact Spurs.
Instead, Tottenham should consider other targets who can positively influence the team right away. Spurs are ready to support Thomas Frank in the transfer window, and he needs to find a forward who can quickly fit into his system. Newcastle is reportedly interested in Porto striker Samu Aghehowa, a move that appears to be more beneficial for the club. Spurs should work to secure his signature soon.
