Tottenham are keen on bringing in additional firepower in the final third in the January transfer window.
Tottenham ended the transfer window on a high note by bringing in Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea on deadline day. The Lilywhites completed a major squad overhaul by signing ten new players who were expected to make an instant impact at N17 under Roberto de Zerbi. The main aim during the latter stages of the window was to bring in additional attacking reinforcements, which the North Londoners managed to do by signing the likes of Omar Marmoush, Savio, and Mykhailo Mudryk.
However, it is fair to suggest that none of the new signings have managed to make a significant impact during the early stages of the new season. Spurs currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table after remaining winless in their opening five league matches. It is the club’s worst-ever start to a season, with the Lilywhites securing just two points from those five games. There are several glaring issues within the squad that need to be addressed by De Zerbi before it gets too late.
The most important issue that needs to be addressed urgently is the club’s lack of a goal-scoring threat in the final third. The Lilywhites have struggled to find the back of the net in the league this season, scoring only two goals across their five matches. De Zerbi’s men also created unwanted history by becoming the first Spurs side to go four consecutive league matches without scoring a goal.
Tottenham keeping an eye on Real Madrid star Endrick
It comes as no surprise that Tottenham are keen to add more firepower in the final third in the coming months. The Lilywhites were determined to bring in a prolific goal-scorer before deadline day this summer who could displace Dominic Solanke from the starting eleven. As a result, the North Londoners were monitoring Real Madrid star Endrick as the talented forward’s future at the Bernabeu remained uncertain earlier this month. However, despite all their efforts, Spurs failed to land the Brazilian during the summer.
Now, however, after being faced with a major goal-scoring issue, the Lilywhites have reignited their interest in Endrick. As per TEAMtalk, Spurs believe there could be an opportunity to land the talented forward in January if the right circumstances arise in the coming months. After a successful loan spell at Olympique Lyonnais during the second half of last season, the 20-year-old is pushing for regular game time as he looks to reach new heights this season.

However, Spurs might need to fend off competition from several other Premier League clubs for the player’s signature. The same report states that Arsenal, Liverpool, both Manchester clubs, Aston Villa, and Fulham are all keen to sign Endrick for the second half of the season in January. The player is attracting significant interest from top clubs as they look to offer him regular game time in the coming months, helping him reach his potential in what is widely regarded as one of the toughest leagues in the world.
What does the future hold for Endrick?
For now, Endrick’s priority is to remain at Real Madrid and fulfil his dream of becoming the face of the project at the Bernabeu. However, TEAMtalk suggests that the Brazilian has fallen down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho, with the legendary manager prioritising other players in crucial matches instead. Not only that, but the 20-year-old does not have a clear pathway to regular first-team football at Madrid, as Mourinho has Vinicius Jr., Brahim Diaz, Kylian Mbappe, Yan Diomande and Carlos Espi as his preferred front four.
TEAMtalk also reports that Endrick’s representatives are set to hold talks with Real Madrid over his game time under Jose Mourinho. The Brazilian does not want to give up on his dream of playing for Los Blancos, meaning that a potential move to the Premier League appears to be off the table for now. On the other hand, Real Madrid are also not keen on losing a player they have invested heavily in.
