Our Tottenham supporters here in the Transfer Tavern are in dreamland after the recent form the Lillywhites have captured under Pochettino’s tutelage.
Spurs were renowned for the inability to sign adequate replacements when they lost big-name players – Gareth Bale being the most obvious story.
Indeed, there is an overriding feeling amongst the Tottenham supporters that the club is on the rise and maybe this will finally be their year.
Mauricio Pochettino’s project is far wider ranging than a few poor results of late and the Argentine has been entrusted to catch up with the heavier spenders in the league.
With the current crop of players at the club, the intensity Spurs have, it’s tearing the Premier League. Frenchman Hugo Lloris is Pochettino’s most consistent performer highlighting the necessity for more French players at the club.
Spurs have an impressive record with French players such as Pascal Chimbonda, David Ginola and Frederic Kanoute and another crop of talent is necessary.
Here are TWO French players Mauricio Pochettino must consider signing in January to go with the existing pool of talent currently plying their trade at White Hart Lane.
Alexandre Lacazette
Tottenham’s over-reliance on captain Harry Kane is evident as Spurs are struggling to convert draws into victories since the injury to their prized asset.
If you are looking for a formidable forward, look no further than Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette. His goals have been crucial to his side’s recent successes as he continues to attract the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Lacazette’s versatility would enable him to play in a number of positions but could replace Kane if injured.
Nabil Fekir
The form of Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen is becoming something of concern for our Tottenham locals here at the Tavern.
If Pochettino issues to ensure some steady competition for the duo, Lyon’s playmaker Nabil Fekir should be widely considered by the Spurs manager.
Fekir first hit headlines last season when his displays were destroying teams in Ligue 1 before a devastating knee injury occurred.
