Tottenham should sign the Champions League’s current top goalscorer as their striker solution – Opinion

Writer Saad Syed argues that Tottenham should target Como striker Anastasios Douvikas in the January transfer window to solve their attacking issues. Douvikas recently scored a hat-trick and provided an assist in Como's 9-1 Champions League victory over RC Lens, taking his tally to six goals in four European matches. With Roberto De Zerbi seeking more firepower amid inconsistent performances from Dominic Solanke and loan signing Omar Marmoush, Syed highlights Douvikas as a potent option.

However, a transfer faces notable obstacles due to tactical questions and Como's reluctance to sell. Syed notes that Douvikas is a traditional poacher with limited defensive involvement, which could clash with De Zerbi's high-pressing demands. Furthermore, Cesc Fabregas' side is performing strongly in Serie A and Europe, and Douvikas recently signed a long-term contract running through 2031.
