The journalist hints that they might be looking to start discussions over a new striker or start eyeing options around the March, April or May period in 2024. There is no rush within the club to sign a new centre-forward and Romano claims that “for the moment” discussions around bolstering that area of the pitch are completely quiet.
He also notes that Ange Postecoglou’s side are very happy with the signing of Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest to bolster their attack towards the end of the summer transfer window. The Lilywhites believe that they have signed an “important player” for the present and future in the Welsh international.
How Are Tottenham Doing Without Kane?
There were major fears around Spurs that losing Kane would see them struggle for goals and fall down the pecking order in the Premier League, but Postecoglou has worked his magic to ensure that they are more than just fine without him.

They have scored 17 goals in seven games, with captain Son Heung-Min leading from the front with six goals in the league already this season. The Australian manager has ensured that his side doesn’t break down without the English striker, who has scored nine goals in just eight games for the Bavarians already this season. As a result, they will not rush their decision on a possible replacement for Kane and are unlikely to sign one in January.
