Tottenham Hotspur are likely to be busy in the summer transfer window as Ange Postecoglou seeks to bolster his ranks.
Tottenham have been linked with a number of attackers as the manager looks to improve on his firepower and strength in depth up front.
Great attacking talents such as Ademola Lookman, Tyler Dibling and Charalampos Kostoulas have all been linked with Tottenham in recent weeks.
More recently, Spurs have set their sights on a Premier League attacker who Lilywhites cult hero Mauricio Pochettino has called “unbelievable”.

Tottenham target Noni Madueke called ‘unbelievable’ by Mauricio Pochettino
The player in question is Noni Madueke, who faces an uncertain future at Chelsea.
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey says Tottenham appreciate Madueke, though Aston Villa and Newcastle are also keen.
Spurs are assessing their wide options and the Chelsea man is a player they have appreciated since before his £30million move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are said to be open to moving Madueke on this summer, which means the Lilywhites shouldn’t encounter any club-side resistance in signing him.
Pochettino sung Madueke’s praises following Chelsea’s win over Spurs last May, the Englishman shining against Postecoglou’s side.
“Noni Madueke today, for me, unbelievable,” Pochettino told reporters after the game, as per Squawka.
“If you analyse him from the start of the season; all the conversations and meetings, clips and videos, things like this.
“He was capable today of doing a fantastic job with the ball – of course, he is an offensive player – but without the ball, he is doing a fantastic job helping Alfie [Gilchrist] defend.
“That is what we need for the future, to build this competitive spirit.”
What Noni Madueke could bring to Tottenham
Madueke began his football journey in London with Crystal Palace and Tottenham before joining PSV Eindhoven in 2018.
He made a real name for himself in the Netherlands, prompting Chelsea to sign him in January 2023 for a reported £30million fee.
Madueke is a dynamic left-footed attacker who largely plies his trade on the right wing but also has experience on the left wing, up front and as a No. 10.

He is now Premier League proven, with over 50 English top-flight appearances to his name, plus plenty of Europa League outings from his time with PSV.
Saul Isaksson-Hurst, a coach who lists Madueke among his clients, spoke to the Daily Mail shortly after the player’s return to English football.
“He is one of the best, if not the best young forward player in Europe,” he said.
“He’s a really dynamic and exciting player and one who likes to take players on and create things. He’s box office and that’s what all supporters like to see.
“There’s an end product too so he’s exciting to watch and I’m sure Chelsea fans will enjoy having him at the club and seeing him scoring goals and providing assists.”
