Spurs join race to sign "unstoppable" PL star

If you could write a week-long script detailing the trials and tribulations of Tottenham Hotspur, it would be a lot like this week.

A few days ago, Tottenham defeated a strong Liverpool team led by Arne Slott in the League Cup semi-finals. Therefore, the confidence should be there after a rather difficult period in the Premier League.

So what better game to play than against non-league Tamworth in the FA Cup? Think again.

Remarkably, the National League side dominated Anj Postkoglu’s side, taking them all the way to overtime. To put it bluntly, the top league is not strong enough.

Tamworth went head-to-head with the Lilywhites and the 0-0 scoreline at the end of 90 minutes was well deserved, although the final score after extra time was 2-0.

After Sunday’s embarrassing moment, it only highlights the need for new recruits in the January transfer window.

How Marcus Rashford compares to Randall Kolo Muani

Both players are thought to be available on loan initially. So it’s clear who Spurs should pursue more intensely this month.

Although Kolo Muani has The number of goals scored in the 2022/23 season is as high as 23 For Eintracht Frankfurt, he hasn’t exactly set PSG’s world on fire, making just ten appearances in Ligue 1 this season and scoring two goals.

Crucially, he has no Premier League experience yet, which is not going to be advantageous if you only loan someone out for six months.

Although the Manchester United forward only has Discover the Internet seven times This word will make him Tottenham Hotspur joint third top scorer Along with club captain Son Heung-min.

While Kolo Muani does look to be the more creative outlet here, Rashford has a habit of scoring goals in English football and certainly has been a more consistent one over the past 18 months or so. An improved ballhandler is also a more efficient ballhandler.

A progressive dribble is considered if the ball moves at least 10 yards from the starting point towards the opponent’s goal or into the penalty area.

Of course, you could see the England international’s work rate as a cause for concern, but if Postkoglu wants something short-term, the out-of-favour Manchester United man might be the best option here .
