Former Tottenham midfielder turned pundit Michael Brown, reckons that Spurs might struggle to sign Bournemouth striker, Callum Wilson this summer because he will not want to join a team and remain on the bench.
Wilson is set to be made available for transfer this summer after Bournemouth’s relegation from the Premier League.
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the former Coventry man, but Brown reckons that the Lilywhites won’t be the only team looking to sign him, especially if he will cost just £10million as the Mail Online claims.
The Englishman hasn’t had the best of seasons, but to some, he remains a good striker. Spurs are looking for a capable backup to Harry Kane and that is why the links to Wilson.
Brown has looked at the situation that any new striker will be walking into at Tottenham with Harry Kane already the club’s leading striker and guaranteed to start in that position.
He told Football Insider: “If it’s for £10 million there will be a queue of people who will want to buy him. It all comes down to whether they need a second striker.
“If a striker is going to Spurs they need to ask if they are a wide forward because Harry Kane plays the number nine role.
“If you see someone who can play out wide in a three or they can play two up top because Callum Wilson will want to play, I can’t imagine him going to sit on the bench.”
Tottenham just cannot guarantee any striker a starting berth and if that is a deal-breaker then so be it.
