Tottenham must strengthen their strike-force this summer and more than a few quality stars are in the lime light.
A certain Belgian international in the form of Michy Batshuayi is Pochettino’s prime striker target and the Spurs are pushing to secure his signature (Mirror).
Reports in the past week have suggested that Spurs are very close to the 22-year-old forward (Voetbalkrant) and are confident of finally securing his services after the Euro 2016 concludes in France (Times).
However, as per the provided Mirror link, the North Londoners are not ready to pay the huge wage demands of the current Marseille forward who wants £100,000-a-week deal to move to White Hart Lane.
Tottenham should forget about the idea of signing a cover striker for Harry Kane. What they really need next season is another proven striker who will be as important as the England international.
Spurs will be competing against world class teams in the Champions League next season. Moreover, the Premier League is surely going to be harder as compared to the last season with Mourinho, Guardiola and Conte there this time around.
In such a scenario, Spurs have to break the bank to compete with the best of teams. Michy is not a cover striker, he is the real deal who will largely improve Spurs’ strike-force. Batshuayi is a “top” (ES) goal scorer who perfectly fits the bill and Spurs must splash the cash to lure him at all costs.
Last season, the Beglian Red Devils star scored 23 goals and provided 10 assists. Pochettino must act swiftly to negotiate a deal or else any other top side will most likely sign him this summer.
