Tottenham’s attacking problems need to be addressed in the upcoming January transfer window.
Tottenham’s forwards have endured a difficult campaign so far, largely due to the pragmatic approach adopted by Thomas Frank at N17. The attackers have struggled to influence games and find the back of the net consistently, leaving many supporters questioning whether the Danish tactician truly knows how to get the best out of his players at Hotspur Way.
At present, the North Londoners have Richarlison leading the line as they look to build on last season’s Europa League success. The Brazilian has rediscovered his scoring touch in recent outings, netting four goals in his last eight appearances for Spurs. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the 28-year-old cannot shoulder the responsibility for an entire season, as he lacks the consistency required to lead the attack for a club with ambitions of adding more silverware.

Meanwhile, last summer’s statement signing Dominic Solanke has struggled to remain fit this season. The England international has barely featured under Thomas Frank after suffering an ankle injury during pre-season. Time appears to be running out for the prolific striker to make his mark at N17, with the club already considering potential replacements in the upcoming transfer window.
Tottenham must fend off competition to land Barcelona stalwart Robert Lewandowski
It comes as little surprise that Tottenham are prepared to strengthen their attacking options in the January transfer window. The Lilywhites are well placed to spend on high-profile targets following a recent £100m capital investment from the Lewis family. That funding is reportedly earmarked for player transfers and wages, giving the North London club a significant advantage over many rivals in the market.
Recent reports suggest Spurs are keen on signing Barcelona goal-machine Robert Lewandowski in the coming weeks. The Lilywhites have been monitoring his situation at Camp Nou as they explore the possibility of bringing him in for the second half of the season. The Poland international is also weighing up his future after the Blaugrana made it clear they have no intention of extending his contract beyond the current campaign.
However, securing the veteran striker may not be as straightforward as it appears. According to Marca, MLS sides Inter Miami and Chicago Fire are also interested in Lewandowski as they look to strengthen their attacks ahead of the new season next year. Both clubs are reportedly willing to offer lucrative deals, along with the promise of regular playing time.
Should Tottenham try harder for Robert Lewandowski’s signature?
As is well known, Tottenham are in the market for an experienced striker capable of making an immediate impact at N17 during the latter half of the season. Few players fit that profile better than Robert Lewandowski. The Poland international continues to deliver consistently for Barcelona, playing a key role under Hansi Flick. His experience, reliability and elite finishing would allow him to adapt quickly to the Premier League under Thomas Frank.
Beyond his influence on the pitch, Lewandowski could also offer invaluable guidance to the club’s younger attackers. His professionalism and relentless desire to succeed would have a positive impact within the dressing room. The legendary forward’s elite understanding of the game would help him establish himself as a regular starter, allowing him to perform at the highest level despite his age.
