Tottenham Hotspur may boast depth in attack with Richarlison, Randal Kolo Muani, Mathys Tel and Dominic Solanke available to Thomas Frank, but the real question surrounds quality rather than numbers. Reports indicate the club remain open to strengthening their frontline, suggesting some internal doubts about the current options.<\/p>\n
Spurs pushed for a late attacking signing on deadline day and eventually brought in Muani, yet with the Frenchman now set for over two months on the sidelines, speculation over further reinforcements has resurfaced.<\/p>\n
Tottenham monitor Ademola Lookman situation
\nAdemola Lookman was on Tottenham\u2019s radar last summer, but a deal failed to materialise as Atalanta demanded a permanent transfer while Spurs preferred a loan arrangement. According to TuttoJuve, the 28-year-old is now seriously considering leaving Atalanta in January, having reportedly submitted two transfer requests without success.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian international, who finished in the Ballon d\u2019Or top ten after Atalanta\u2019s Europa League triumph, has faced several issues at the club. Most recently, he was involved in a near confrontation with Ivan Juric following his substitution against Marseille.<\/p>\n
With Lookman pushing for an exit, Tottenham are closely tracking developments. However, competition is heating up, with Atletico Madrid believed to be accelerating their efforts to move ahead in the race.<\/p>\n
Spurs weighing up Atalanta tension and \u20ac60m (\u00a351m) claim
\nThe report adds that Atletico are preparing a \u20ac60m (\u00a351m) bid and have already initiated contact with Lookman\u2019s camp, aiming to take advantage of the strained relationship between player and club.<\/p>\n
That figure may also reflect Atalanta\u2019s attempt to apply pressure on Tottenham and other suitors. A \u20ac60m valuation appears steep at this stage, especially with Lookman under contract until 2027.<\/p>\n
While a bargain deal could be possible and potentially worthwhile, Spurs are unlikely to be dragged into a bidding war fuelled by Atletico\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
