Our resident Tottenham Hotspur fans have been looking at the news filtering in from the Express, which claims Spurs are plotting a move for Addicks striker Ademola Lookman.

Lookman has been linked with a move to a host of Premier League club’s this season, following his impressive breakthrough season at The Valley.

In what has been an otherwise poor season for the Addicks – which saw theme relegated to League One – the 18-year-old striker has been a beacon of hope for the club’s bleak looking future.

With five goals this campaign and impressive performances, the striker has attracted plenty of attention from some of the Premier League’s big boy’s, most recently Tottenham Hotspur, who are looking for striking reinforcement’s after missing out on the Premier League title this season.

Despite being excellent all season, Spurs have at times relied too heavily on main man Harry Kane who is currently top of the race for the Golden Boot with 25 Premier League goals with one game to spare.

Dele Alli, Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen have been the main alternative sources of goals with 28 between them. Without Kane in the side however, Maurico Pochhetinos side lack a genuine goal threat up top, with summer signing Clinton N’Jie failing to make his mark at White Hart Lane.

Ademola – part of the current England U-18 squad – would be a welcomed addition to White Hart Lane, however would certainly be a prospect for the future.

However, if Tottenham are to mount a serious title challenge next season; Kane needs reinforcements.

So our landlord discusses where Spu’s should go this summer in their search for striking augmentation, and has come up with FIVE alternative options to Lookman…..
