PACO ALCACER

Tottenham can boast of having one of the most exciting squads in the world, on a shoe string budget. With the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-Min among others, they truly are just one step away from being spoken of in the same breath as the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Titles, it's the only thing holding them back.

Goals do win you titles and currently the burden of scoring is on Kane for Spurs. The young Englishman has established himself as one of the world's best in his position. But when he's injured Spurs look like a completely different team. They lack the presence of a striker who's confident and has the tenacity to lead the line.

Paco Alcacer could be this man for Tottenham. Not a world beater for sure, but looking at the opportunities he's been given he's done well for himself. His chances at Barcelona have been few and far apart, but to his credit he's scored in almost every match he's started.

A tall strong forward with a poacher's instinct's is what Spurs lack at the moment. Someone who can step up to the plate whenever called upon but also not demand first team football week in, week out. Alcacer, in that sense, could be a perfect fit for the Londoners.
