Tottenham Hotspur they are now seen as prime candidates to sign one Premier League forward, with an update on the January transfer window now coming from a very reliable media source this week.
Tottenham are in the market to sign a new striker before the January deadline
After failing in their pursuit of PSG outcast Randal Colo Muani, who instead put pen to paper and loaned him to Juventus, the Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou still looking for a new striker.

Tottenham have been in contact with PSG regarding the signing of Kolo Muani early last week (Fabrizio Romano), and they were trying to sway him by moving to north London until the last minute. However, Juve have proved a very tempting option for the Frenchman, and Spurs are now going back to the drawing board.
The Premier League the strugglers, who have yet to win a top-flight game this calendar year, are languishing in 15th place in the table and have already suffered defeat on 12 separate occasions in the league alone – so the under-fire Postecoglou simply needs inspiration from somewhere.
Tottenham are currently dealing with a number of injuries to first-team players, which are weighing on Postecoglou’s squad, and it’s safe to say that one £12.5m signing of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky will not be good enough on deadline day on February 3.

The Lilywhites are reportedly working hard to get the necessary, quality fresh faces before time runs out. Spurs remain in the market for a new striker who can provide an injection of direct threat, with Postecoglou recently offered Lyon star Ryan Cherki (GiveMeSport).
Tottenham are also believed to be considering a move for Nice’s Evan Guessandwhile other reported targets emerge as we approach the business end of January.
Tottenham are now Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling’s “biggest competitor”.
One player who fits the mold of a potential Spurs signing – young, homegrown and hard-working – is Southampton striker Tyler Dibling.
The versatile 18-year-old was a mainstay at St. Mary’s this term, scoring four goals and assisting two more in various attacking roles. He could satisfy Postecoglou to the core, and Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that they are serious contenders for Dibling’s signature.
Really, Tottenham are the “biggest contenders” for Dibling’s signaturewho Plettenberg calls a “super talent” but faces strong competition from RB Leipzig who are pushing for his services.
It is appreciated by the eye 30 million pounds by the Saints, according to other reports, so Spurs would still have to make a significant mid-season investment despite being current favourites.
