Tottenham Hotspur supporters in the Transfer Tavern are eagerly expecting the club to mount a third successive challenge for the coveted Premier League title.
Spurs have yet to win a single Premier League title, although they’ve come closer than ever before to lifting the illustrious crown under Mauricio Pochettino’s impressive guidance.
The North London club finished 3rd in the 2015/16 season and 2nd in the 2016/17 season, and our resident Spurs supporters are wondering if this season when they finally conclude their wait for league glory.
While the likes of United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are all poised to recruit heavily, Tottenham will have to follow suit to ensure that they remain as competitive as possible this forthcoming season.
Currently, Spurs haven’t finalised any deals for potential incomings, yet they’ve been linked with moves for a whole host of noteworthy targets. Our landlord has opted to look at two players Spurs must sign to win the league.
Andrea Belotti
For the duration of the past few seasons, Spurs have been comfortable operating with a single striker.
Indeed, Harry Kane has occupied that position tremendously well, truly earning his reputation as one of the greatest strikers on the planet. However, an option that Pochettino could explore is operating with two strikers – Andrea Belotti would be the perfect fit.
The 23-year-old had a stunning season last campaign scoring 32 goals in 45 games for club and country. The Italian is highly regarded as Torino’s best player, and his aerial proficiency came to the fore as he scored 26 goals in Serie A last season. At the age of 23, the player retains scope to improve and progress further.
A partnership with Harry Kane could prove to be one of the deadliest relationships ever witnessed in Premier League history.
Angel Di Maria
While there is no doubting that Son Heung-min had a terrific season for Spurs last campaign, the South Korean scored 14 goals, you do sense that this Spurs side is lacking that world-class edge and know-how of winning trophies – Angel Di Maria provides exactly that.
Following a disappointing season at Manchester United, the former Real Madrid star has excelled during his time in France with PSG.
The 29-year-old has scored 28 goals in 85 games for PSG, and he boasts a proud record of winning trophies at almost every club he has played.
In 44 games for PSG, last season Di Maria also provided eight assists, demonstrating his significance to Paris’ attack. These two players would enhance Spurs’ chances of league success enormously.
