Tottenham are hoping to splash the cash on new attackers in the upcoming January transfer window.
Tottenham are looking to strengthen their attacking depth by adding reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window. The Lilywhites have struggled to create chances and pose a consistent goal threat this season under Thomas Frank, prompting the club to invest further in the squad for the second half of the campaign. There is a clear need to sign high-profile additions in the winter as the North Londoners aim to close the gap on their rivals.
Persistent issues on the left-wing have continued to hamper Spurs’ progress. Frank has relied on Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert in that role, hoping that one of them would step up and make the position their own for the remainder of the season. However, both players have struggled to make a consistent impact under the Danish tactician’s guidance.

Given how heavily Frank depends on his wide players to create chances and get into goalscoring positions, signing a new left winger has become a top priority for the Lilywhites. Bringing in a player with a similar profile to Mohammed Kudus, but operating on the left, would help Spurs become a more consistent threat in the final third during the second half of the season.
Tottenham might miss out on Barcelona star Marcus Rashford amid transfer links
Recent reports have suggested that Tottenham identified Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford as a potential long-term solution to their problems on the left flank. The England international has rediscovered his confidence in Spain under Hansi Flick, putting him firmly on Spurs’ radar. He has also been linked with a return to the Premier League after losing his regular starting place following Raphinha’s resurgence.
Rashford has been among the standout performers in La Liga this season. The 28-year-old joined Barcelona on a short-term loan from Manchester United, with the Catalan club holding an option to make the move permanent by triggering his £26m buy option next summer. He has already recorded seven goals and seven assists in all competitions, playing a key role in helping Flick’s side defend their league title.
However, securing the England international may prove difficult for Spurs. According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are now planning to extend Rashford’s stay at the Camp Nou by activating his buy option. The forward is also keen to continue with the Blaugrana after becoming a vital part of their attacking setup this season.
This development represents a significant setback for the North Londoners, who are actively searching for a new left winger ahead of the winter window. As a result, Spurs may need to shift their focus to alternative targets. Reports indicate that the Lilywhites are also monitoring AS Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche, with the club considering a potential move to bring the young Frenchman to the Premier League. Supporters will hope that Tottenham can strike a deal to bolster their attack under Thomas Frank.
