Tottenham Hotspur are planning an ambitious move for "one of the best finishers in the Premier League", having identified the need to improve their attack.

Richarlison has been frozen out by Roberto De Zerbi, with the Brazilian failing to make an appearance since the 3-0 defeat at Brentford on the opening day, and Everton are now looking to re-sign their former player in the January transfer window.

Although Spurs had a torrid 2025-26 campaign, the 29-year-old picked up 11 goals and four assists in the Premier League, which is a solid return, whereas their other forwards haven't exactly been prolific in front of goal this season.

After enduring an injury-hit 2025-26 season, Dominic Solanke hasn't pulled up any trees, scoring just once in ten Premier League outings, while Omar Marmoush is already being seen as one of the Lilywhites' worst signings in quite some time.

Of course, it is still early days for the former Manchester City man, but Paul Merson has made it clear he thinks De Zerbi should have brought in a different striker in the summer, saying: "Omar Marmoush isn’t going to give you goals. He’ll get you a worldie here or there, but he’s not a goalscorer. They needed a goalscorer. I can’t believe Spurs didn’t go for Nicolas Jackson. He’s decent."

“The problem with Spurs at the moment is that they’re not scoring. There’s never a wrong time to score – every time is the right time – but they’re failing to find the net when they’re on top.

It is too late for Spurs to make a move for Jackson, who has been scoring for fun at Aston Villa, but they are now considering a move for a different Premier League striker.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham are now exploring a stunning move for AFC Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi, in a deal that could see Wilson Odobert be sent in the opposite direction.

Mikey Moore and Luca Williams-Barnett could also be used as part of a swap deal, with Spurs now ready to stun bitter rivals Arsenal in the race for the Frenchman, who has received very high praise from Daniel Sturridge.

The 20-year-old bagged 13 Premier League goals for the Cherries in his debut campaign last season, which is a very impressive tally when you consider his age, and De Zerbi could certainly do with signing a new striker, as Solanke and Marmoush have been struggling.

Understandably, however, Bournemouth are looking to hold out for a huge fee, and it could take as much as £100m to tempt them into a sale.
