Tottenham Hotspur is considering Igor Thiago as a potential replacement for Harry Kane.

What makes Thiago a viable option?

Igor Thiago had an impressive season, scoring 22 goals for Brentford and finishing behind Erling Haaland in the Premier League Golden Boot race.

Evaluating current attacking options

Anderton thinks Thiago offers a clinical edge that current options like Richarlison and Dominic Solanke have yet to provide in a Spurs shirt. Richarlison is not a goalscorer, but he can upset defenders and be a pain to play against.

Fitting into De Zerbi's tactical revolution

De Zerbi has started his tenure by turning the club around after Igor Tudor's short reign. With Premier League safety secured, the manager is now being backed with significant resources to rebuild the side.

Tottenham is navigating a busy transfer window, targeting players like Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali and Manchester City’s Savinho. However, finding a specialist number nine remains a priority to climb back into the Champions League places.
