Spurs want to sign a “sensational” star who is better than Solanke

The unpredictability of Tottenham Hotspur the campaign continued in full force into the new year.

In just two weeks, Ange Postecoglou the team lost at home to Newcastle United, beat the incredible Liverpool in the first leg League Cup semi-final and then needed extra time to beat fifth-tier Tamworth Town in the FA Cup.

However, with the progress made in the two cup competitions, the mood in the N17 is more positive than it was last week, and in an even more encouraging development, summer signings for Dominik SolankeLucas Bergvall and Archie Gray they continue to prove their worth and the manager in the right.

So, recent reports linking the club with a striker currently outselling Solanke in a move reminiscent of Gray’s should excite fans.

Tottenham Hotspur are chasing free scoring

According to a recent report from SpainTottenham are interested in West Bromwich Albion striker Josh Maj.

Apart from the Lilywhites, the report revealed that fierce rivals and fellow Premier League giants Chelsea are also interested in the 26-year-old striker this month.

While competition from the free-spending Blues is far from ideal for the North Londoners, the good news is that the former Sunderland ace is reportedly valued at around £15m, a fee the club could easily justify for a back-up striker.

It could be a complicated transfer to get over the line, but given Maja’s form this season and Spurs’ need for a back-up to Solanke, it’s worth pursuing, especially as there are parallels with Gray’s move in the summer.

How does Maja compare with Solanka and Gray

Alright, before we look at Maja’s form this season and how he copes with the man he could be competing with if he joins Spurs, Solanke, let’s explore the main parallel between his potential move and Gray’s.

The most notable similarity is that, as with the teenager’s transfer, the North Londoners would be taking on one of the best players in a promotion-chasing Championship side.

Admittedly, the potential advantage of the 26-year-old striker is far less than that of a teenage star, but how can he he is currently West Brom’s top scorerhe is undoubtedly even more important to them than the Englishman was to Leeds United.

Without that, how did this year’s season of Lewisham-born poachers stack up to Solanke’s?

Well, for just 26 appearances for the Baggiesa total of 2077 minutes, a “sensational” striker, as they call him Nigerian football writer Samm Auduhe scored on 12 occasions, which averages out to a goal every 2.16 games, or every 173 minutes.

By contrast, Postecoglou’s starting centre-forward found himself on target 11 times in 28 appearancesa total of 2158 minutes, which means that he currently scores an average goal every 2.54 games, or every 196.18 minutes.

Now, while that comparison certainly paints the Nigerian international in a brilliant light, it’s important to add that the former Bournemouth star has also provided six assists to his two this term and the Englishman operates in a far more challenging league.

However, even with that added context, Maja’s performances this season have been truly impressive, and while he shouldn’t be seen as an upgrade for Solanke, he would almost certainly be a useful back-up, especially as Richarlison continues to suffer from injury. after injury stagnation.

Therefore, as long as the price remains at £15m, Daniel Levy and Co should be looking to bring the West Brom ace to N17, as he would be a valuable addition to the squad and their latest signing from the Championship has settled in nicely.
