'We need a striker. Pull it out!'

Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League is worrying local experts. This is due to the recruitment result of the transfer market, which is much slower than expected. In particular, none of the frontline strikers, which were the top targets before the transfer market opened, were recruited. At this rate, as in the last season, 'Son Heung-min One-top Tactics' is expected to come out again.

To Tottenham in this situation, local experts are urging them to bring the striker quickly. He is urging Tottenham to sign a contract quickly, mentioning the specific target at all. The argument is that Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who is increasingly putting on a discounted price tag, should be brought in.

British media TBR Football reported on the 22nd (Korea time) 'Talk Sports expert urged Tottenham to quickly recruit the world's best striker worth 40 million pounds (about 71.9 billion won). The media reported the claim of Darren Ambrose of TalkSport. Ambrose insisted Tottenham must quickly bring in Tony, who has been rated one of the best strikers in the world by Sky Sports.

Tottenham struggled last season without a front-line striker. Son Heung-min changed his position and performed his best, but his destructive power declined toward the second half of the season. In the end, Tottenham failed to advance to the Champions League as they were pushed to fifth place in the ranking competition. Coach Enze Postecoglou shook his head and vowed to bring in a front-line striker who will surely fill Harry Kane's void ahead of the new season.

However, so far, the pre-season friendly has not been able to recruit a clear striker. Timo Werner was re-signed, and all he brought was top prospects such as Lucas Veribal and Archie Gray. Even Beribal was originally a player who completed his contract last February. It is a situation where only Byunjuk is raised and no definite results are produced.

In response, Ambrose responded, "Tottenham really needs a strikerThe only striker that can be said to be the only player that can be recruited is Ivan Toney. Arsenal may be aiming for Tony, but not as desperate as Tottenham. Arsenal are the second-most goalscorer in the EPL last season, with 91 goals, claiming Tottenham could outmaneuver Arsenal in terms of desperation.

In particular, Ambrose insisted that now is the best time to recruit Tony. This is because Brentford have significantly discounted the original sale price to secure Tony's transfer fee, which has only one year left on his contract. In the first place, Brentford had called up to 90 million pounds for Tony's transfer. It has now fallen to less than half of £40 million. If Tottenham actively suggests it, it is expected to succeed in recruiting.
