Opinion: Spurs keen on 23 y/o striker…but £10m Everton target would still be a better option
Despite signing a striker on loan in the summer transfer window, it seems Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho is still looking to add another forward to his ranks in January.

Their impressive form has seen them move to the top of the Premier League table, where they are ahead of champions Liverpool on goal difference. In order to successfully mount a title challenge, Mourinho could delve into the transfer market once again, and signing a striker could be one on his priorities. Carlo Vinicius joined in the summer on a season-long loan, and although he has impressed in the Europa League, his slow start to life at his new...

Report: Goal-shy Arsenal snub chance to sign Eriksen and want to sign a central defender
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has snubbed the opportunity to sign Christian Eriksen and has instead prioritised the signing of a central defender despite his side struggling to create goal-scoring opportunities, according to Paul Brown of the Daily Star. Christian Eriksen moved to Inter Milan from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2020 for £17 million. He was expected to be the creative hub of the Italian side but did not fit into head coach Antonio Conte’s system and so has been a bit-part player. This season, he has made just seven appearances for the Nerazzurri in all competitions and has not had a hand in a single goal. Out of these seven appearances, he has come off the bench three times. The Denmark international is deemed surplus to requirements at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and wil...
