Spurs Transfers: 5 Reasons They Must Add A New Striker In January

1. Goals Scored Could Be Hugely Important At The End Of The Season

Of course, the more goals that you score will have an impact on the ability of the side to win games, especially if you are leaking goals defensively. However, goalscoring may take on added importance this season with the table looking so tight. Normally I wouldn€™t talk much about goal difference because it€™s generally winning games that matters. Nevertheless, it€™s certainly within the realms of possibility that several clubs will finish on the same number of points this season, so league positions could be decided on goal difference first, and goals scored second. It€™s pretty clear that if that was to happen at the moment, Spurs would be out of luck. Sherwood€™s team currently have a goal difference of just +3, which is bettered by eight teams in the Premier League this season. That and the lack of goals scored as discussed earlier has the potential to be a big problem. However, Spurs have an awful lot of ground to make up as Man City currently have the best goal difference with +38; the message here is a world-class striker must be acquired, but the other players must pick up their game as well.
