Will Lankshear might be better than Dominic Solanke, but he still wasn’t the answer

Joe Soriano of Hotspur HQ argues that while former Tottenham Hotspur striker Will Lankshear is excelling at Middlesbrough, retaining him would not have solved Tottenham's attacking struggles. Lankshear has scored 13 goals in 13 Championship matches following a permanent summer transfer, contrasting sharply with Dominic Solanke's ongoing difficulties in front of goal for Spurs.

The writer believes Tottenham must target an established, elite center forward rather than relying on young prospects. Despite signing Omar Marmoush and showing transfer interest in AFC Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi, Soriano contends that manager Roberto De Zerbi still needs a proven, top-tier striker to complete the squad.
