Report: Spurs eyeing three January attacking options

Spurs scan market for sharper attacking depth

Tottenham Hotspur are continuing their search for improved forward options, with the Daily Mail reporting that ambitions remain high even if realism is guiding the shortlist. A fresh move for Manchester City winger Savinho is acknowledged internally as likely to prove futile, given City’s valuation and competition.

That reality has pushed Spurs towards broader due diligence. Checks have been made on Oscar Bobb, a player admired for his intelligence and adaptability.

There is no rush to conclude deals, but the message is clear. Spurs want greater variety and threat in the final third, and they are prepared to explore multiple pathways to get there.

Tottenham often find themselves circling elite talent only to accept that financial gravity still exists. Savinho being labelled a likely non starter underlines that reality, and few fans would be shocked by it.

What is more interesting is the willingness to look beyond obvious names. Oscar Bobb fits the idea of a technically secure forward who can grow within the system, while the interest in Yan Diomande and Etta Eyong suggests Spurs are still trying to get ahead of the curve rather than chase finished products. Supporters have long asked for smarter recruitment, players who can be coached rather than simply bought at peak value.

There would be some anxiety too. Spurs fans want immediate improvement, especially after seasons where attacking depth has been tested. Younger profiles bring promise, but also risk. The balance between patience and progress will matter.

Overall, this reads like a club trying to be pragmatic without abandoning ambition. For supporters, the hope is that one of these options becomes more than a check and turns into a forward who genuinely raises the level in decisive moments.
