Spurs need a striker. Or do they? Enya Collins runs the data on the striker market and lands somewhere most reaction channels won't — there's a real argument we don't need one as badly as the discourse suggests, and the one we should sign isn't who you think.
Five targets ranked by data and eye test:
#5 Fisnik Asllani (Hoffenheim) — false 9, technical, may not survive the Prem
#4 Nicolas Jackson (Bayern Munich) — more underrated than Spurs fans realise
#3 Georges Mikautadze (Villarreal) — the Robbie-Keane-not-Peter-Crouch creative nine
#2 Gonzalo Ramos (PSG) — high ceiling, but is he Muani 2.0?
#1 Mohamed-Amine Gouiri (Marseille) — the De Zerbi connection nobody's discussing
Plus: why Solanke is actually a better De Zerbi striker than Richarlison once you adjust for the system he was playing in, why there isn't a Premier League striker who fits what we need, and why a winger upgrade probably matters more than a centre-forward upgrade.
