Premier League: Weakest Positions Top 6 Clubs Must Address in the Transfer Window

#3 Tottenham Hotspur: Forward

Mauricio Pochettino's over-reliance on Harry Kane could cost Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur are yet to make any real signings this summer (or see any departures for that matter). It seems like Mauricio Pochettino is quite happy with the squad that finished third last season.

Of course, there is also the added pressure of moving to a refurbished stadium that has taken a hit on the club's finances. But to not make any signings could be a big mistake waiting to happen for the north London club.

Spurs' over-reliance on Harry Kane is what has allowed them to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League in the past few seasons, with the odd appearance in the title race.

However, Kane is coming off a long World Cup campaign that saw England play seven games and the striker also seemed to be carrying an injury.

Pochettino's only backup at the moment is Fernando Llorente who played a grand total of 227 minutes last season (including 15 substitute appearances) and started just once in the league.

Son Heung-Min has started up front but only in a two-striker system and that was a plan that failed with Spurs winning none of those games. And the Korean forward cannot lead the line on his own.

What Spurs need is a quality backup to Kane or a forward who can play across the forward line. Otherwise, we will see the manager prioritise competitions again.

There is no point in trying to qualify for the Champions League if you end up treating it like a secondary competition just so you can finish in the top four in the Premier League again - unless they are only looking at the financial benefits of doing so.
