Spurs can sign “amazing” goal machines for £0

6 Min Read

Tottenham Hotspur decided to spend cash on a new centre forward after a mid-season that finished fifth in the Premier League.

Daniel Levy and Co went outside and spent their club record on then-Bornemouth star Dominique Solanke.

Now, the British weren’t poor this year, but his eight goals in 25 league matches are far from Harry Kane’s often inhumane exploits, and fans were used to seeing them in previous campaigns.

So with that in mind, it’s not surprising that in recent months we’ve seen reports linking North Londoners to another striker before this summer.

Before you reach the free scoring dynamo in question, it’s worth looking at some of the other shooters, such as Liam Dellup and the Deisenmeda, who have linked the Spurs over the past few weeks.

Transfer focus

Mega Money deals, controversial moves, famous flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinions across Football FanCust.

The former reportedly has a £30 million release clause on his current contract, and he proved to be a very savvy signing, considering he scored 12 goals and provided two assists in the awful Ipswich Townside 34 Premier League games.

Similarly, the latter plays north of the border, but he has scored a simple, unrealistic tally of 45 goals involved in 48 games this season, once again with a relatively modest price tag of £25 million, which could be too good to overlook.

But Daniel Levy and Co could be after a sure bet to lead the line next year.

If North Londoners act on this supposed interest, the good news is that the Canadian international would not be spending a penny of transfer fees as their contract with Losc Lille expires at the end of the season.

It could still be a complicated transfer to complete, but David certainly should be doing everything spurs can, especially since he won a comparison with Kane.

How David compares to Kane

Before going into some of the other reasons David can be considered a young Kane, it’s worth examining where this comparison came from.

Well, in this case it comes from FBREF looking at players in similar positions in the top five leagues of Europe, the Champions League and the Europa League, then we created a list of ten most comparable players in each, and concluded in this example that the British are seventh similar to the Reel Gem.

The best way to see where this comparison comes from is to look at the underlying metrics in target keys and live passes, carry, etc., including, but not limited to, progressive carry, goal per shot, goal per shot, goal per shot, and goal per shot, pairs that include, but are not limited to, shots and shots per 90.

Furthermore, while I don’t want to suggest that Canada’s International is as good as the Lily White legend, there are few soccer players in the world – he shows a consistent top level that reflects the age of 31.

For example, a New York-born monster dubbed journalist Tony Marinaro since its launch in 21/22. “One of the best strikers in the world” He scored 96 goals and provided 25 assists in just 182 club appearances.

What makes that continuous level of output even more impressive is that it comes in the traditional top five leagues, but some of the other aforementioned strikers associated with the transition to Tottenham have thrived in relatively weak leagues.

Finally, as the England captain did with the N17, the “surprising” scorer dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig, perhaps remained earlier this year, thanks to the season’s consistent and great numbers, but not so, showed an astonishing level of loyalty to the Les Dogues.

Ultimately, everything from his underlying numbers and raw output to his commitment to the cause, reminds me of young Kane. If the Spurs want to overcharge their offense next season, they’ll do what they can to sign David in the summer.
