Spurs Transfers: 10 DREAM Signings Tim Sherwood Could Make
4. Ezequiel Lavezzi (PSG)
As well as a new left-back, centre-back, attacking midfielder and winger, Spurs could really have benefited from signing a new striker this month. Though Emmanuel Adebayor is enjoying a decent run of form, Roberto Soldado hasn't lived up to the hype since making the move from Valencia and Jermain Defoe is off to Canada. And once Defoe moves on, untested rookie Harry Kane will be the only remaining back-up striker available to Tim Sherwood - dangerous if one of Adebayor or Soldado get injured. Manchester City outgunned Tottenham yesterday and their attacking might proved you win games, and trophies, with a big strike force, which the Londoners are desperately and obviously lacking. It's amazing really that Sherwood hasn't yet made inquiries into singing a new forward but there's time yet and one option available to him is Ezequiel Lavezzi. The Paris Saint-Germain striker last month refused to rule out a move to Arsenal - who are also interested - or Spurs in the January transfer window. Reports claim the 28-year-old has become disillusioned with life in Paris following his move from Napoli in 2012 and is looking for a move away from the French champions. And he could provide Tottenham with the firepower they need to finish in the top four.
