A couple of days in the past, Spurs had been defeating Arne Slot’s rampant Liverpool within the Carabao Cup semi-finals. So, the boldness ought to have been there after a somewhat sticky patch within the Premier League.

No higher recreation than an FA Cup tie towards non-league Tamworth then, absolutely? Assume once more.

Remarkably, the Nationwide League aspect held Ange Postecoglou’s males, taking all of them the best way to further time. To place it bluntly, the top-flight aspect weren’t ok.

Tamworth went toe to toe with the Lilywhites and greater than deserved the 0-0 scoreline on the finish of the 90 minutes, even when issues did go on to complete 2-0 after further time.

Tottenham’s January switch window plans

One of many names on the lips of supporters in the meanwhile is PSG ahead Randal Kolo Muani. There have been quite a few experiences suggesting that Spurs may signal the Frenchman on mortgage this summer season and there was a contemporary replace from the Each day Mail’s Chris Wheeler.

He reported this weekend that ‘Spurs and Juventus paved the way’ for the 26-year-old this winter. That is as a result of Manchester United’s curiosity within the attacker has allegedly cooled.

Talking of United, it is a Pink Satan who Postecogou’s aspect are additionally thinking about with Wheeler revealing that there’s curiosity in Marcus Rashford.

How Marcus Rashford compares to Randal Kolo Muani

It is thought that originally, each gamers can be accessible on mortgage offers. So, it turns into clear instantly who Spurs ought to take a look at pursuing extra strongly this month.

Whereas Kolo Muani has scored as many as 23 targets within the 2022/23 season for Eintracht Frankfurt, he isn’t precisely set the world alight at PSG, enjoying simply ten occasions and scoring twice in Ligue 1 this time period.

Crucially, he isn’t acquired expertise of the Premier League but which should you’re bringing in somebody for only a six-month mortgage spell, would not be advantageous.

Rashford, alternatively, wouldn’t want an enormous interval of adaptation, thus that means he is seemingly the extra smart possibility if a deal may be achieved.

Whereas the United ahead has solely discovered the web on seven events this time period, that will make him Tottenham’s joint-third top-scorer alongside membership captain, Heung-min Son.

A take a look at the stats over the past two campaigns additionally tells us why Rashford – who was “unstoppable” within the phrases of Erik ten Hag on the best way to 39 purpose involvements in all competitions all through 2022/23 – can be a greater acquisition.

Whereas Kolo Muani actually seems just like the extra inventive outlet right here, Rashford has an everyday behavior of scoring targets in English soccer and positively over the past 18 months or so, he is been a extra progressive provider of the ball and a extra environment friendly provider at that too.

In fact, you possibly can take a look at the England worldwide’s work charge as a trigger for concern but when Postecoglou needs one thing short-term then the out-of-favour United man might be the participant to go for right here.
