Tottenham chasing ‘transformed’ £51m Premier League attacker who ‘can play anywhere’

Tottenham are now being linked with a productive Premier League attacker.

Tottenham are now being linked with a reliable Premier League attacker as they look to replace Brennan Johnson this month. Spurs have had a frustrating last couple of months, failing to back up a solid start and sliding down to 14th in the Premier League table.

Thomas Frank is now under serious pressure to turn things around, and the January transfer window is going to be pivotal, especially after Spurs decided to sell Brennan Johnson for a discounted fee.

Johnson was not having the best of seasons, but he was a source of goals and creativity, and Tottenham do not have enough of those sources, especially with Dejan Kulusevski still sidelined.

Tottenham already arguably needed to sign an attacker this month, and instead of supplementing the front line, they now need to replace Johnson before they can even supplement it.

January is always an expensive window, especially for attackers, but it seems Tottenham are willing spend significant cash this month. One player they are now being linked with is Brentford star Kevin Schade, who has six goals and three assists in the Premier League this season.

According to Sky Germany, Schade is on Tottenham’s shortlist of attackers, but they face a reported asking price of £51million this month. The Bees are likely to be reluctant to sell given they have now climbed to fifth place, and Schade is central to that effort.

But as far as Tottenham are concerned, Schade may well fit the profile they are looking for. The German is already a proven Premier League player, still only 24 years of age and he is a versatile attacker, able to play across the front line.

Naturally, Frank was at Brentford when they signed Schade and worked with the German in West London.
