Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Tottenham Hotspur are planning to explore new options up front amid injury problems.

Spurs revealed last month that Richarlison is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines. With a hamstring injury despite only recently returning from a groin injury that kept him out for two months. Richarlison has

struggled with calf, hamstring and knee problems in recent seasons, with concerns over his long-term fitness.

Son Heung-min was forced to play up front at the weekend with Dominic Solanke ill. While summer signing Wilson Odober also required a hamstring operation and promising teenager Mikey Moore was ill.

Asked whether the club would be looking to add a forward following Richarlison’s injury problems, Postecoglou said: “Yes, no doubt because with Wilson in there, even Mikey…” “

We lost Dom at the weekend. You wish you had an option but Wilson is out for a long time. Hopefully Mikey can be back at the beginning of the year but he’s still 17. “

It’s frustrating for Richie because I see the quality in him and, to be fair to me, he’s always had an impact when he’s been fit. “

I think back to the start of last season, when he came back into the team he was in a scoring streak. “

Even the games he’s played a few times this year he’s had an impact. ufabet http://ufabet999.app That’s what you want to have. But there’s no doubt we’ve got another striker to add in the next two transfer windows. “

Dom’s been brilliant since he arrived but we can’t overplay him because eventually, even if he’s fit and healthy, his form will drop if he’s not injured. That’s what we recognise and have to plan for.”
