Former Tottenham star says team are still lacking in attack.
Former Tottenham Hotspur attacker David Bentley says he believes the club still need to make additions in Janaury.
Bentley is unconvinced by new signing Fernando Llorente and says Spurs need a player capable of doing the unexpected.
Speaking exclusively to 888sport, Bentley urged: “Spurs need a creative player, a talented individual who can score a goal out of nothing.
“With their full-backs so prominent – Rose and Trippier – they act as their wide men so they should be looking for a secondary striker.
“Whether Llorente is that striker I’m not so sure. They also need quality in depth.”
The player Bentley describes sounds like star man Christian Eriksen, who has been terrific for club and country this season.
But it would be sensible for Spurs to try and scout and sign a player capable of replicating what Eriksen can do, even on a lesser scale, to try and relieve the pressure on the Dane.
In close defeats to Chelsea and Manchester United this season, Spurs have struggled to break down the opposition, scoring only through an own goal against the Blues.
Finding a player capable of changing these type of games, even off the bench, should certainly be a priority.
