In recent weeks and days, the names of two possible attacking targets have been heavily linked with interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Only this morning the Daily Mail ran with an “only 11 Days” to get a deal done for AC Milan’s Krzysztof Piatek.
PSG’s Edinson Cavani has been mooted with a move to any number of top flight sides, including Spurs.
Just as transfer inertia was threatening to kick in, L’Equipe are now listing Piatek as a possible replacement for Cavani. Which is certainly one way of spinning transfer gossip into a different direction.
Tottenham fans who, like me view Cavani as a potentially very expensive and frankly, a quite elderly option, may draw some succour from the French outlet’s poll within the article. Piatek isn’t a runaway fan favourite at least.
The most plausible options to replace Edinson for Paris St Germain are listed, and although there’s not much in it, after nigh on 35,000 respondents.
The idea that suddenly, one Spurs target could be wiped out, by replacing another Spurs target, had yet to be considered, to the best of my knowledge. Either way, it doesn’t aid our cause.
That said, L’Equipe do add that Leonardo Araújo, the French side’s Sporting Director has good connections at Milan – which would make sense as he used to play for them…

Gurenteed goals with the right service. Kane on £200k a week as is Cavani! But he is out of our budget? 3 year deal with Goal bonuses and I can see us nicking him . ANd what a player to help bring on kids like Parrot etc. Would be a big statement from Spurs if this happens but I think he will go to Spain ,Atheletico Madird. Read what His father said.
Just read that Haaland scored a hat trick on his debut for Dortmund. They signed him for just 20M Euros. Why did we not at least make an inquiry for this player?
I think we need to get the offensive corps playing together- Son, Lamela, Dele, Moura, Sessegnon, Lo Celso is a pretty powerful group.
An over-priced, over-paid over the hill striker is not the answer. No to Cavani. If we go the aging player route – bring back Llorente
The only way Levy would take him is on loan. Then again, he’s wage demands would also pose a problem.
Cavani is world class. Not sure if hes an injury boy but he is a brilliant player… Goals galore.. Cavani and kane up top would be deadly… Elderly agreed but hes class and a typical maureen signing i would have thought.
Its levy he dont have to anything lol I hope we do tho
Surely we have to.
Lets just face it we are not getting a striker lol
