Tottenham will be looking for an attacker this summer who can improve on their present alternatives.
With Barcelona granting the ‘green light’ for Ansu Fati to leave, Tottenham may finally be able to address their attacking issues this summer. Spurs have a poor track record in the transfer market in recent years when it comes to finding new offensive options.
Both Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente failed to add anything to Tottenham’s offense, and Richarlison’s debut season in north London has yet to be decided. Tottenham have not been able to make a significant difference in their front line since signing Son Heung-min.

Tottenham’s major threats are Son and Harry Kane, but the former has had a troubling fall in form this season. Then there’s the question of Kane’s future at Tottenham, with clubs all across Europe keeping an eye on his situation as the summer approaches.
All indications point to the club in need of numerous fresh attacking alternatives capable of improving their fortunes in front of goal. Several players have been mentioned as potential Tottenham players, but Barcelona star Fati may be the greatest bet.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are willing to offload the highly-rated 20-year-old this summer. It’s claimed that Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has been given the ‘green light’ to begin talks about a potential summer move.
The report does add that Fati’s preference is to stay at the Nou Camp and fight for his place, but Barcelona are expected to offload several players after this season to help balance the books. There are also strong reports indicating the club could look to re-sign Lionel Messi, further limiting Fati’s chances at playing.
Tottenham has been identified as one of the clubs interested in the Spain international. But they are not alone in their pursuit of him, as Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also interested.
Much of what Tottenham does in the summer transfer window may be determined by who is appointed as their permanent manager. Tottenham will need to find a good replacement for Kane, which will have an impact on the type of business they do.
With his fast feet and eye for a goal, Fati is the type of player who will get fans excited about the club’s future. Barcelona is allegedly aiming for an offer in the neighborhood of £90 million for him.
