Premier League Transfers: What All 20 Teams Need In The Winter Window

Tottenham Hotspur

What do they need? Tim Sherwood's top priority is a left back. A natural option in this position is essential for Spurs to realize their ambitions. Another striker would also give the club options. How much more money Daniel Levy is prepared to spend this season remains to be seen. Linked with: Fabio Coentrao (Real Madrid), Ezequiel Lavezzi (PSG), Shane Long (West Bromwich Albion), Ciprian Marica (Getafe), Alexandre Pato (Corinthians), Diego Perotti (Sevilla), Giuseppe Rossi (Fiorentina), Mohamed Salah (Basel), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Kevin Volland (Hoffenheim). Who we'd like to see at White Hart Lane: Fabio Coentrao, Shane Long and Giuseppe Rossi. Porutgal wingback Coentrao was a target for Andre Villas-Boas, but there is no reason why Sherwood should not try to sign this player in a World Cup year. The Real Madrid star is out of favour at the Bernabeu and may fear for his place at international level.

Should the rumours that Jermain Defoe is bound for the MLS turn out to be true, Hotspur will need to sign two strikers. We think it is high time Republic of Ireland frontman Long got a chance at a top club. Supplement him with a player comfortable leading the line or dropping in behind like the rejuvenated Rossi and Sherwood should have a winning combination.
