Tottenham Hotspur are already planning for the summer transfer window, with reports suggesting striker signings will be a key focus as they look to improve their attack. As Roberto De Zerbi works on shaping the squad, adding more goals up front will be important for Spurs.
The summer transfer window is expected to be an important one for Tottenham Hotspur as they aim to strengthen their squad, with the attack seen as one of the main areas that needs improvement after a difficult season in front of goal.
Tottenham are also making plans for the summer window, as the club are still not fully assured of their place in the Premier League next season. As Roberto De Zerbi continues to do his job at Tottenham, he may have to turn to the transfer market to bring in attacking options who can improve the club’s goal output and consistency.
Richarlison is currently the club’s top scorer, but his performances in the Premier League this season have not been consistent. At the same time, Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons are both nursing injuries, which further reduces Spurs’ attacking options. Meanwhile, Randal Kolo Muani remains part of the forward line, although reports suggest he does not expect to stay beyond the end of his loan spell this season, along with some of his teammates.
However, reports also says that the Lilywhites are ready to rebuild the squad in a big way even if they stay in the Premier League, showing how important the summer could be for the club’s long-term plans. With that in mind, here are five strikers who have already been linked with Tottenham as potential targets for the summer window.
Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda on Tottenham’s summer radar
Tottenham search for attacking reinforcements has reportedly led them to the Netherlands, where Ayase Ueda has been in strong form for Feyenoord this season.
The 27-year-old Japanese forward has enjoyed an impressive campaign, finding the net regularly in all competitions. His sharp movement, composed finishing, and ability to perform in fast-paced attacking systems have made him stand out to scouts, with his profile seen as a strong fit for English football.
Ayesha Ueda Stats (Premier League 2025–26)
- Appearances: 30
- Goals: 25
- Assists: 1
- Expected Goals (xG): 18.8
- Shots on target: 45
- Big chances created: 2
- Successful dribbles: 6 (25%)
While the numbers are not eye-catching in every area, his goal return has still been impressive and highlights his consistency in front of goal. Tottenham are said to have been tracking his progress for some time as part of their summer planning, with the striker already on their radar within transfer talks.
However, Spurs are not alone in their interest. Leeds United, Everton, and Brighton & Hove Albion are also believed to have monitored him closely, meaning competition could emerge if a move develops this summer.
Fisnik Asllani emerges as Tottenham’s top striker target
Fisnik Asllani has been linked with a move as one of the main attacking targets ahead of the summer window. The 23-year-old who returned after a strong loan spell at Elversberg, has had a good season so far, scoring eight goals and assisted seven. His form shows his growing impact in attack.
He is highly rated for his ability to score and also create chances for teammates. He can drop deep to help build play and still get into the box to finish, which makes him a useful all-round attacker. There is also belief he could handle the Premier League well because of his mix of strength and skill.
His release clause is around €30 million (£26m), which has also attracted interest from clubs like Bayern Munich. Because of the price and his ability, Asllani is seen as a possible bargain, and Spurs are expected to stay interested as they look to improve their attack in the summer.
Moise Kean is another option in Tottenham striker targets for summer transfer plans
The Lilywhites have being linked with a possible move for Florentina forward Moise Kean, emerging as one of the names on their list ahead of the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old has enjoyed a steady season, making 33 appearances, scoring nine goals and providing four assists in all competitions.
It is a return that has kept him in the spotlight as Spurs continue to look for ways to improve their attacking options going into next season. It is also understood that Tottenham boss De Zerbi is interested in bringing the former Everton striker back to the Premier League, despite his difficult spell in England earlier in his career.
During that time, Kean struggled to adapt to the pace and physical demands of the league, managing just two goals and two assists in 32 appearances. Even so, his potential continues to keep him in Tottenham’s thinking, with a move still seen as possible if the conditions are right. Reports suggest that a fee of around £43 million could be enough for Spurs to open talks with Fiorentina over the forward.
However, any move for Kean is expected to depend on Tottenham securing their place in the Premier League for next season, with the club’s transfer plans likely to be shaped by their final position in the table.
Marcos Leonardo is also on Tottenham’s summer striker target list
Marcos Leonardo has built a strong scoring record since joining Al-Hilal, with 44 goals in 72 appearances showing his ability to consistently deliver in front of goal. So far this season, he has scored 13 goals and provided just one assist, further underlining his main strength as a natural finisher rather than a creator.
At 23, he still has plenty of room to develop, with his sharp movement and instinct inside the box making him an appealing option for clubs looking to add a long-term striker.
Marcos Leonardo Stats (2025–26 season)
- Appearances: 23
- Goals: 13
- Assists: 1
- Expected Goals (xG): 11.3
- Shots on target: 27
- Big chances created: 2
- Successful dribbles: 8
Tottenham’s interest in the forward also reflects how much they value his availability and consistency, especially as they look to avoid players who struggle with injuries or long spells on the sidelines.
A fee of around £55m would be a big spend for Spurs, but because he is still young, scores goals, and has room to improve, he is seen more as a player for the future rather than just a quick fix.
Spurs eye move for Georges Mikautadze
Tottenham Hotspur are still being linked with a move for Georges Mikautadze, with reports continuing to suggest the Villarreal forward is on their shortlist ahead of the summer.
The 25-year-old has had a steady campaign, scoring 11 goals for Villarreal. While that is not at the level of elite strikers, his all-round play and ability to create chances keep him on the radar of clubs like Spurs as they look to improve their attack.
Mikautadze’s main strength is his versatility. Across his career, he has mainly played as a centre-forward, with 157 appearances, 87 goals and 24 assists. He has also featured on the left wing, as a second striker, and as an attacking midfielder, with only a few appearances on the right wing and in central midfield.
Tottenham are believed to be among the clubs showing strong interest, although competition is expected. Spurs could be ready to offer around £51 million if they decide to make a move. His versatility is seen as a key advantage, especially as Spurs continue to look for more consistency in attack after dealing with injuries and inconsistent form in forward areas this season.
