Tottenham Hotspur’s attacking struggles have been painfully clear, with only Richarlison reaching double figures for Premier League goals last season.
The Lilywhites look desperately short on attacking depth as the new campaign approaches, with questions surrounding almost every forward option currently at the club.
Dominic Solanke has failed to convince in a Spurs shirt, fuelling widespread talk that a marquee striker signing remains an urgent priority for the club.
Victor Osimhen has emerged as one option, with Football FanCast exclusively revealing the Nigerian was also the subject of an enquiry from Manchester United this summer.
Osimhen’s numbers at Galatasaray are impressive, with the striker scoring 61 goals in his first 76 games after joining from Napoli in 2024.
Last season alone he ended with 15 goals from just 19 Super Lig starts, scoring at a remarkable rate of one goal every 115 minutes.
Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo has also been discussed as a potential central striker option, though the Dutchman managed just seven Premier League goals in 32 starts last term.
Gakpo scored at a rate of one goal every 393 minutes in the Premier League last season, a figure that raises serious doubts about deploying him as an out-and-out number nine.
While Osimhen represents a stronger option than Gakpo in pure goalscoring terms, the tag of the world’s finest striker arguably belongs elsewhere entirely.
TEAMtalk have reported that Spurs are being kept informed about Harry Kane’s contract situation at Bayern Munich, with the England captain entering the final year of his deal.
Kane, 33, has attracted enquiries from Barcelona and held talks with Saudi side Al Hilal, meaning a sensational return to north London cannot be dismissed.
Bayern Munich appear hopeful of securing an extension, but nothing is guaranteed until the striker formally commits to fresh terms with the German club.
Brendan Rodgers previously hailed Kane as the “best striker in world football,” a label that his extraordinary statistics at Bayern do little to contradict.
The former Spurs captain scored a staggering 146 goals in just 147 games in Germany, having previously bagged 280 goals in 435 appearances for Tottenham.
For context, Gakpo has scored just 105 club career goals for Liverpool and PSV combined, while Osimhen has netted 175, both well short of Kane’s remarkable output.
Last season was yet another extraordinary chapter for Kane, who scored 36 goals in just 25 Bundesliga starts at a rate of one every 66 minutes.
He also registered five assists and created 18 big chances in Germany last term, underlining just how complete a player he remains at the highest level.
In Kane’s final season at Tottenham, he scored 30 league goals, a tally that Richarlison has not matched across four full campaigns at the club with just 27.
Roberto De Zerbi has teased another “bomba” signing as he looks to shape his squad, and bringing Kane back would represent an enormous statement of intent.
Under the new ENIC regime, with ambition seemingly replacing the frugality of previous eras, luring Kane back to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium feels like a genuine possibility.
