#3 Tottenham Hotspurs

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - The Emirates FA Cup Semi Final
Spurs transfer business has their fans worried

Tottenham Hotspurs have a young squad that saw good additions in the previous season as they clinched the 3rd position behind the two Manchester clubs.

However this summer window has seen no activity from the Spurs with the only transfer news coming out of North London is that of the possible departures of Dembele and Toby Alderweireld.

While banking on player improvements in a young squad seems like a fair ask, Tottenham do have a gaping hole in their forward position. One terrible injury to Harry Kane can be the difference between a top-2 finish and a 6th place finish for this young Spurs team.

Fernando Llorente is no longer a second striker for a contending team and the Spurs should look towards the likes of Moussa Dembélé (from Celtic F.C.) who could be a perfect fit for the young Spurs squad. At the same time he could be someone they could develop over the next few seasons behind Harry Kane.

If the Spurs wish to go for an experienced poacher though, Javier Hernandez (Chicharito) from West Ham might prove to be a good back up striker for them.

Higuain, if he becomes available might be appealing, but I don't see Higuain willing to play second fiddle to the golden boy of English football in what will most likely be the last competitive move of his career.
