Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham Hotspur appear to be making the most of their January transfer window.
It appears that a deal to sign center-back Radu Dragusin is almost complete; all that’s left to do is for Spurs and Genoa to agree on a price.
That doesn’t appear like their transfer activity will end there, though.
While signing a defender has been Postecoglou’s top objective for January, he also wants to bolster his forward and midfield positions.
Notwithstanding this, reporter Ben Jacobs disclosed an extremely fascinating query Tottenham has made for a single Premier League striker.
Talking about potential targets for the summer, Jacobs was featured on the “Last Word on Spurs” podcast.
In doing so, he also revealed that Tottenham, led by Postecoglou, had inquired about the transfer of Dominic Sokolof of Bournemouth.
“When the summer arrives, it’s possible that if they’ve been successful in that [signing a center-back], then the priorities shift,” added Jacobs.
However, I think that the summer will be a little more concentrated; they’ll want to compete for an Ivan Toney, should he become available, or they’ll want a profile similar to that of Dominic Solanke.
“But while Solanke has undoubtedly been questioned, I’m not saying they are specific Spurs targets.”
A forward transfer request is made by Ange Postecoglou, and Tottenham moves for Dominic Solanke.
Speaking of Dominic Solanke, it would be hard to argue against signing him given his recent performance.
With 19 Premier League games played this season, the 26-year-old has scored 12 goals, which is simply incredible.
Maybe Solanke is starting to follow the growth curve that many had earlier in his career projected he would.
Nevertheless, a player who has had difficulty scoring goals lately might feel that the reported £50 million asking price is a little too much.
Even yet, it seems like Solanke will have no shortage of admirers should he be deemed available for the summer of 2019.

£85k per week Scarlett’s progress hasn’t reached the heights many were expecting from the young striker when he initially emerged on the scene, and if Radu Dragusin signs this, the Tottenham player might join Jose Mourinho at Roma.
The 19-year-old still has a lot to prove in the professional game, so Tottenham need to be open to giving Scarlett an opportunity when they play Burnley in the FA Cup this coming weekend.
Scarlett may get her shot this weekend under Postecoglou, a boss who takes great satisfaction in giving young players a chance.
Scarlett needs more playing time against a Premier League team, and he could even be able to secure another loan move in January if he plays well.
