Although Tottenham Hotspur signed Dominic Solanke last summer, Spurs are thought to be in the market for another new striker in a few months’ time.
Whether Ange Postecoglou is in charge or not, Tottenham reportedly intend to invest in their playing squad – Daniel Levy is perhaps recognising the need to show more ambition on a footballing front.
Tottenham want a new striker who can compete with Solanke up top, a summer arrival who has been fairly average in his first season.
Solanke has scored 11 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions – numbers that haven’t been helped by a couple of injuries.
But Tottenham fans have questioned Solanke at times, especially following his performance against Southampton last weekend.
Tottenham considering move for Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz
That being said, Give Me Sport are now reporting that Tottenham are contemplating a move for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz this summer.
Fulham rate Muniz at £50m according to the report, a striker who is also catching the eye of Chelsea and West Ham United.

Funnily enough, Muniz actually has an identical record to Solanke this season – 11 goals in 35 games.
Of course, one of those goals came in a 3-2 win against Liverpool last weekend, a side he also scored against at Anfield.
But at 23-years-old, the Brazilian is thought to have a lot of potential, a striker who scored eight goals in eight games during a Premier League purple patch last term.
Although, Tottenham might not have too much luck in prizing Muniz away from Fulham any time soon.
Fulham have no interest in selling Muniz
According to the same report, Fulham are ready to reject any approach from Tottenham or any other Premier League club.
Instead, the west Londoners want to hand Muniz a new contract to cement his place as part of their long-term future.
Of course, Tottenham were interested in Muniz at the start of last year, a player who shared an agent with James Maddison and Son Heung-min at the time.
In fact, Spurs made contact with Fulham about Muniz according to reports in Brazil, suggesting that their interest could be long-term.
However, at the prices mentioned, the Brazilian would arguably not be good value for Tottenham, even if he is showing a lot of promise at Craven Cottage.
Raul Jimenez has still predominantly been Marco Silva’s starting number nine when fully fit this season and the Mexican has forgone Muniz’s tally with 12 goals in all competitions.
