David Villa, Damiao, Benteke, Soldado or Negredo – Who should be Spurs’ next striker?

Alvaro Negredo – Sevilla

Alvaro Negredo

What would he bring to Spurs? Negredo is a pure goalscorer. He doesn’t get involved so much in the play outside the penalty box, he just stays where he is supposed to and scores lots of goals. He has had seven consecutive season where he has returned at least double figures in the goal column, often in teams that have lacked the quality of midfielders Spurs have. They make the chances, he can put them away.

How much? £15-17m. A good investment as you are basically guaranteeing goals.

How likely? 7/10 – Great value, very consistent but not quite as good as the other options.
