Tottenham hold key advantage in Victor Osimhen transfer race after £51m Arsenal bid rejected

Tottenham have been in the market for a new striker for what feels like years. There has been an over-reliance on Harry Kane since he broke into the first team picture in 2013/14 and never looked back.

Finding a worthy back-up striker, one who can both find the back of the net and be satisfied sitting on the bench for long periods, knowing that Kane is the main man, has proved very tricky indeed. The likes of Vincent Janssen, Fernando Llorente and Carlos Vinicius have all come and gone and the weight remains firmly on Kane's shoulders.

Head coach Antonio Conte is trying to fix that this summer and plenty of names have been linked with a move to N17. Richarlison has been heavily linked in recent days, with Tottenham's Harry Winks a potential makeweight in a deal with Everton. Lautaro Martinez is also being linked with a £77million move to team up with Conte once more.
