Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made contact within the last 48 hours with an \u201cincredible\u201d Premier League striker admired by manager Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n
Club director Fabio Paratici is said to be working behind the scenes to strengthen Frank\u2019s attacking options ahead of the January transfer window. Spurs scored three times against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday, taking their tally for the season to 17 \u2014 the joint highest in the league. It has been a strong start to the campaign under Frank, with Tottenham sitting third after nine matches.<\/p>\n
Despite this, reports suggest the manager is not entirely satisfied with his current striker options. Randal Kolo Muani, brought in on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, has struggled with injuries, while Richarlison has scored just once in the league since his opening-day brace against Burnley. Dominic Solanke\u2019s ongoing fitness issues have also raised concerns, and Football Insider claims the former Bournemouth forward could be sold in January.<\/p>\n
That situation could open the door for a new arrival, with journalist James Davies reporting that Tottenham have shown interest in Brentford forward Kevin Schade. The 23-year-old joined the Bees from Freiburg in 2023 for \u00a322 million, during Frank\u2019s tenure in west London.<\/p>\n
Davies revealed on X: \u201cEXCL: Fabio Paratici has been in contact with Epic Sports Agency in the last 48 hours regarding Kevin Schade. Tottenham want to be kept updated on the situation \u2014 Thomas Frank is a huge admirer of his former player.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schade has had a slow start to life in the Premier League due to injury setbacks but has recently returned to form, netting twice this season \u2014 including in Brentford\u2019s 3-2 win over Liverpool.<\/p>\n
While at Brentford, Frank spoke highly of Schade\u2019s potential, saying after a brace against Manchester United in May: \u201cHe\u2019s grown a lot this season. Scoring 10 goals \u2013 not many players have achieved that in the Premier League \u2013 and he\u2019ll only get better. With his pace, aerial ability, and work rate in both boxes, he\u2019s an incredible player.\u201d<\/p>\n
In other news, Tottenham have reportedly been advised they could secure a \u201cstrong player\u201d to replace Solanke for a bargain fee in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
