Report: Tottenham battle multiple clubs for striker with 36 goals & 8 assists | OneFootball

Tottenham's search for attacking reinforcements continues, but they are not alone in the race for a promising striker. With the transfer deadline approaching, competition is heating up.

Tottenham are actively working in the transfer market as the deadline approaches, with reports suggesting they are in talks with Brentford over a potential deal.

Meanwhile, speculation around Mauricio Pochettino’s possible return to the club has been dismissed by pundits, making it clear that Ange Postecoglou remains fully in charge of the project.

At the same time, Spurs have reportedly turned their attention to strengthening their attacking options, with a French youngster among the names linked.

However, competition is fierce for any available striker, and Tottenham now face a challenge securing their latest reported target.

Brighton’s Evan Ferguson has emerged as a late option for Tottenham, with reports indicating that the Seagulls are open to loaning out the 20-year-old before the transfer window closes on February 3.

Spurs are said to be monitoring the situation closely, seeing Ferguson as a potential short-term solution to their attacking depth issues.

However, the North London club are not alone in their pursuit, according to The Guardian. Arsenal are reportedly considering a late move for Ferguson, though they would need to terminate one of their existing domestic loans to proceed.

Meanwhile, West Ham and Marseille have also expressed interest in signing the Irish striker.

There are conflicting reports regarding Ferguson’s stance on a move to Spurs.

Some sources suggest he is reluctant due to concerns over game time, with Richarlison and Dominic Solanke already competing for the centre-forward role.

Tottenham’s approach under Postecoglou prioritises versatility in attack, which could make Ferguson less of a natural fit.

The manager may prefer a forward capable of playing across the front line rather than an out-and-out number nine.

If a deal for Ferguson does not materialise, Spurs could shift their focus to signing a winger instead.

Ferguson’s talent is clear, but signing him is a gamble for Spurs

Evan Ferguson’s got plenty of potential, and a move to Tottenham could be just what he needs to get his career back on track.

At 20, he’s already shown flashes of quality, bagging 6 goals in 15 Premier League starts last season.

This time around, he’s only managed 1 goal in 2 starts, which raises some concerns about consistency.

Across his career, he’s notched 36 goals and 8 assists, playing for Bohemians, Brighton U18s, Brighton U21s, and the first team.

While he could be a solid long-term bet, Spurs need instant impact, so signing him would be a gamble.
