6 Players Tottenham Hotspur Should Sign After The World Cup

6. Alexsandr Golovin - CSKA Moscow

With Russia’s unexpected advance to the quarter finals of their home World Cup, the question is whether the Russian stars actually have skill, or were they simply riding the crest of euphoria? It’s safe to say at least one of the Russian team has the talent needed to fit into the Premier League; Aleksandr Golovin.

As Mousa Dembélé appears to be leaving 'The Lane' this summer to chase his dreams (money) in the Chinese Super League, what better replacement than an equally tricky, attack minded character eight years his junior? Showing the skill and speed in central midfield for CSKA Moscow, he would slide into place better than a hot knife through butter.

An expected price of around £27 million would be a steal in today’s market. Surprisingly, Russia managed to outdo everyone’s expectations by using the defensive sickle and hammer of the Soviet ways to guide themselves into the quarter-finals, so it's safe to assume Golovins price will amplify ridiculously. After scoring a wonderful free kick in the opening game of the World Cup, showing he has a peach of a right foot, this would give some solid competition to Christian Eriksen on set piece duty.
