100%”- Sky Sports pundit Paul Robinson has suggested that a standout striker would be an ideal addition to Tottenham. What are your thoughts on this striker?
Liam Delap has emerged as the standout performer for Ipswich during what has been a challenging season, and a move to Tottenham could be on the horizon.
Since Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich, Spurs have struggled to fill the striker role, despite making a significant investment in Dominic Solanke.
However, injuries have hindered Solanke’s impact this season, and it’s a position Tottenham may look to address in the summer.
Delap has attracted interest from several clubs, with Tottenham reportedly among them. A potential deal would involve several considerations.
Delap’s Potential Move to Tottenham Faces Several Hurdles
If Spurs pursue Delap, they will have to dig deep financially, with Paul Robinson highlighting the potential complications that could make such a move difficult.
“He’s a player I like,” Robinson told Tottenham News. “I’ve seen him a few times this season, including in the New Year against Chelsea at home, where he was outstanding. His work rate, attitude, and application were excellent.”
“He’s an old-fashioned striker who works tirelessly and never gives up. Could he fit into Tottenham’s system? Yes, but we know how Tottenham operates.”
Robinson pointed to the investment in Solanke, suggesting that Spurs may be reluctant to spend heavily on another striker unless Solanke moves on.
“They’re not going to pay what it would take to bring in Liam Delap unless Solanke is leaving.”
Delap is expected to be playing in the Premier League next season, and while Robinson would welcome him at Tottenham, the situation with Solanke adds complexity. “Solanke won’t want to stay if Delap comes in to play ahead of him.
It raises questions about the manager and his plans. Delap isn’t going to want to sit on the bench behind Solanke.”
Tottenham Must Show Ambition in the Summer Transfer Window
With the current season likely to end without silverware, barring an unexpected Europa League triumph, ambition will be crucial for Spurs to move forward.
The summer transfer window will be key, and Tottenham needs to sign players who can elevate the team to the next level.
Delap, a young English forward capable of scoring goals and using his physicality to challenge defenders, could be a valuable addition. It’s a profile that Spurs have seen work in the past.
