That Tottenham miss Harry Kane is obvious, just take a look at the Premier League table after he left the club just over three years ago. – It will be close to impossible to replace the Ballon d’Or winner, but the net of opportunities for the London club is bigger now that they have secured three Premier League wins in a row and are no longer scraping the bottom of the table.
Super talent Younes Ebnoutalib deserves to play in Europe’s best tournaments and that possibility is actually no longer unthinkable with Tottenham, a lot happens in football in a few weeks…

Tottenham step up their hunt for German striker talent – could have to go into a bidding war
Tottenham are chasing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Younes Ebnoutalib, but will probably have to contend with Juventus – and a price tag of up to £30 million. Now Spurs are considering striking as early as January.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Younes Ebnoutalib, as Roberto De Zerbi looks to bolster his attacking options in the January transfer window.
According to Sky Germany, Spurs are among the leading candidates to sign the German international. Juventus also appears as a serious option for the highly-rated striker.
The breakthrough has caused a stir
The 23-year-old has had a remarkable breakthrough and has established himself as one of German football’s most exciting attacking talents. Eight goals and two assists in ten games in all competitions this season have attracted the attention of several European clubs.
The performances have also received recognition from Germany’s national team manager Jürgen Klopp, who was particularly impressed and then gave him the chance at international level.
Tottenham have been following Ebnoutalib for months, and his recent performances have only strengthened their desire to bring him to North London.
De Zerbi could certainly benefit from a new striker option. Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush have struggled to score consistently, and a prolific young striker could increase competition in attack. Ebnoutalib’s physical presence, speed, and finishing ability make him attractive – and his potential suggests he could be an important long-term investment.

Battle for the signature – and the price tag
However, finalizing a deal will not be an easy task. Juventus are also considered strong candidates, and Spurs could thus face stiff competition from the Italian giants.
Frankfurt are in a relatively strong negotiating position after securing his services until 2031. Discussions about better terms have reportedly stalled after changes behind the scenes at the German club.
The Bundesliga side could charge between £20 million and £30 million for the striker – a significant profit on their initial investment.
Tottenham could try to speed up negotiations as early as January rather than wait until the summer, especially if Frankfurt become more receptive to offers. With increasing competition, Spurs could end up having to act decisively to secure one of Europe’s most promising young strikers.
