Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to bring in a new striker in the upcoming winter transfer window as the North Londoners look to compound on their backup options to Dominic Solanke upfront, and they have identified Everton centre forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a potential target to take up that spot at Hotspur Way.
Brazilian striker Richarlison has been struggling to find his feet since his move to N17, and the chiefs at Spurs have grown frustrated with his lack of availability complemented by his inconsistencies in front of goal when available. Richy moved to Spurs in a highly anticipated transfer; however, he has failed to live up to the expectations, and a probable exit is highly possible in the upcoming windows.

The Lilywhites are looking at current Everton star Dominic Calvert Lewin as a possible replacement for Richarlison. However, in a surprising turn of events, Spurs North London neighbours Arsenal have also expressed interest in signing the 27-year-old, per The Sun, with the Gunners planning a possible £20m transfer swoop to end DCL’s eight-year stay at Goodison Park.
This comes as a massive blow to Tottenham’s pursuit of his services.
With both North London giants now looking to sign the Englishman, it remains to be seen how the pursuit of Calvert-Lewin’s signature will shape up—whether he will remain put with his current employers or make a move to one of the capital’s biggest clubs.
