Report: Tottenham considering move for Celtic striker in January

Tottenham Hotspur are now without their lead striker Harry Kane for the foreseeable future, after the England captain tore his hamstring against Southampton on New Year’s Day.

Kane stretched to tap the ball home to make it 1-1, injuring himself in the process, only to see the goal ruled out for offside anyway.

Without a recognised senior striker in reserve, Jose Mourinho went for a front two of Lucas Moura and Heung Min Son against Middlesbrough at the weekend.

Troy Parrott is also available for selection, but the striker is still only 17 and not experienced at the highest level.

It has now been reported that Spurs are considering a move for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard in the January window (90 Min).

The 21-year-old has played 17 league games this season for the Scottish side, scoring an impressive 12 goals and setting up eight in the process (TransferMarkt).

Since moving to Celtic, the youngster has scored 49 goals and registered 27 assists in 112 games (TransferMarkt).

Spurs Web Opinion:

Spurs need a young and hungry second-choice striker. Levy should offer Wanyama and some cash to Celtic for the 21-year-old.
