Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in their last Premier League outing to leave their ardent supporters here in the Transfer Tavern desperately disappointed.
Even one of the landlord’s famous after hours drinking sessions couldn’t ease their pain at losing such an important game.
The Spurs contingent had hoped to keep winning in order to keep up the pressure on their London rivals Chelsea at the top of the league, but their hopes of catching them now look slim to say the least.
Despite being rated as unlikely to win the league this year there is real optimism that Spurs are a club going in the right direction and with a few quality signings in the summer, there is no reason why they can’t challenge next season.
Writer Lee Clarke looks at three players who Spurs should look to sign ahead of next season.
Wilfried Zaha
The Ivorian winger could be set to leave Crystal Palace during the summer and Spurs would be a quality club for his development.
The speed merchant boasts an array of trickery and with Spurs looking for more width he represents an ideal summer signing.
One Spurs fan is sat chatting to his pals and reading the Saturday morning newspaper and he thinks the ex-Manchester United man would be a quality signing.
Marcus Rashford
If Manchester United are persistent on keeping the teen sensation on the sidelines once again next season, then Spurs should try and tempt them with a cheeky loan move for the 2017/18 campaign.
The England striker has played second fiddle this season which isn’t doing his development any good at all and the thought of a Rashford and Harry Kane partnership is one to relish for the Spurs faithful.
One Spurs fan is throwing some darts at the dart board here in the Tavern and he says Rashford fits the whole ethos of Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side.]
Isco
Another long-term target for Spurs is Real Madrid ace Isco and a summer switch from the Spanish capital looks likely to happen.
It hasn’t really worked out for the Spaniard at Madrid when it comes to game time and a move to Tottenham could be a good one for the player.
One Spurs fan is having a game of cards with his mates here in the Tavern and he thinks Isco would be a super addition to the current crop of talent at White Hart Lane.
