The real reason Tottenham are struggling to sign a striker revealed

While reports continue to suggest that Tottenham are desperate to land a forward before the transfer window closes, a fresh update has now provided two reasons why the Lilywhites are struggling to sign a striker.

Tottenham keen on adding more firepower to their squad

After Spurs failed to get a deal for Randal Kolo Muani over the line, multiple sources have claimed that the North London club are determined to swoop for an alternative forward before the February 3 deadline.

This includes a recent update by GiveMeSport, who suggested that Tottenham are even considering making a surprise late move for Santiago Gimenez after seeing AC Milan open talks over a deal to sign the Feyenoord man.

With just a week left in the transfer window, Spurs are now in a race against time to give Ange Postecoglou the resources he needs to pull the team up from the mess they are currently in.

Factors which have complicated Tottenham’s pursuit of a forward

The Times say that Tottenham’s current league position (15th) and their tight wage structure have made it difficult for them to attract the calibre of players they want.

The report provides that as the main reasons why Randal Kolo Muani made it clear early that he preferred to join Juventus over the North London club.

Additionally, is pointed out that Manchester City and Arsenal are also in the market for a forward in the final week of the window.

This has made things difficult for Spurs, who have been knocked down the pecking order for the best forwards on the market.

Tottenham only have themselves to blame

If Spurs end up failing to get the targets they want because Man City and Arsenal are in for the same players, the club will only have themselves to blame.

They could have avoided this by doing most of their business early, which was the need of the hour, given the club’s injury crisis.

Postecoglou was absolutely right when he said last week that the club were playing with fire by leaving their business so late, and Tottenham could well end up getting burnt if deals fall through in the final days of the window.
