Tottenham should move for Europe’s most in form striker.
Tottenahm Hotspur forward Fernando Llorente disappointed again as Spurs crashed out of the FA Cup against Crystal Palace.
With Harry Kane out until March (BBC), Spurs can’t continue like this and continue to hope for the best.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best, and for Spurs that should mean targeting Europe’s most in form attacker, Duvan Zapata.
The Colombian striker has been tearing up Serie A for Atalanta, lifting the unfancied side to just three points off the Champions League places.
In the last nine games, Zapata has an incredible 14 goals, scoring in each of them.
The highlight was when he netted four times in one match against Frosinone earlier this month.
Tottenham’s season needs a player with confidence who can come straight in and lead the line. Zapata has it.
He is eligible to play in the Champions League and despite their league position, Atalanta should try and cash in on the 27-year-old while they can if the price is right.
Even if it costs Tottenham upwards of £20 million, a move would be worthwhile for Spurs if it is the difference in qualifying for next season’s Champions League and getting past Dortmund in the last 16 this time around.
