Gary Lineker said tottenham has signed Harry Kane replacement

Gary Lineker has just urged Tottenham Hotspur to sign Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson to replace Harry Kane this summer.

Spurs confirmed this morning that their star striker has left the club to join Bayern Munich. He will be a huge miss, and Ange Postecoglou will have to replace him.

Lineker has just suggested a great option for Tottenham on X/Twitter.

Gary Lineker tells Tottenham sign Evan Ferguson as Harry Kane replacement

Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked with a move to sign Evan Ferguson, and Lineker has just endorsed it again.

The 18-year-old has been incredible for Brighton whenever he has played. He just looks like the perfect striker, and the fact that he’s so young means he will only get better in the coming years.

With Kane gone, Tottenham need to look for a long-term replacement. There’s no point signing someone like Romelu Lukaku now – it’s just not worth it.

After watching Brighton beat Luton Town this afternoon, Lineker is convinced Ferguson would be a great option to replace Kane at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He tweeted: “Evan Ferguson scores in Fergie time. He’s a born goalscorer.

“If I was in charge of recruitment at @SpursOfficial I’d take a punt on him as Kane’s replacement. Apologies to @OfficialBHAFC fans.”

TBR View:

If Tottenham want a young centre-forward with all the qualities you need in a striker, Evan Ferguson is perfect.

We don’t how Brighton find these young players, but the Irishman is definitely another one who they will sell for an outrageous amount of money one day.

Roberto De Zerbi would obviously love to keep hold of him, but if Tottenham go in with a huge offer, there is a chance they could reluctantly let the teenager go.

In our opinion, Ferguson would be amazing for Tottenham.

‘Super’: Graeme Souness says Tottenham have made an even better signing than Declan Rice

Tottenham Hotspur fans are reeling after losing Harry Kane, but they mustn’t forget that it’s not been all doom and gloom in north London this summer.

Indeed, Tottenham have an exciting new manager through the door, and they’ve also made a number of good signings.

The likes of Micky Van de Ven and Manor Solomon are exciting young talents, but, of course, James Maddison, has been the big name addition so far this summer.

Graeme Souness is a big fan of this signing, and writing in his column for The Daily Mail, Souness actually ranked Maddison as one of the signings of the summer – ahead of the likes of Declan Rice.

Maddison a top signing
Souness shared how much he’s a fan of Maddison.

“He’s had 39 goal contributions from midfield over the past two seasons (22 goals, 17 assists) and those numbers put him right up there with the best,” Souness wrote.

“I have a lot of time for him, he’s a super player. Harry Kane, if he stays, will love playing with him. Maddison will quickly become Kane’s most frequent supplier of opportunities to put the ball in the net. He will pick Kane out in tight areas, if he is there!

“This is a different type of pressure, though, coming from Leicester. He played with freedom there and there is a bit more on your shoulders at Spurs, especially if it doesn’t start well for them.”

Could be inspired
This could be a truly inspired signing by Tottenham.

Maddison is a proven star at this level, and even without Kane leading the line, he should create bundles of chances for whoever is leading the line for Spurs this season.

Of course, whether or not Maddison does prove to be a better signing than Rice remains to be seen, but Souness certainly thinks that this could be an incredible bit of business.

Kane may have gone, but there’s still a lot to be excited about at Tottenham.

Tottenham fast weighing up a bid to sign 22-year-old former EPL young star
August 9, 2023 admin
The Welshman was a key player for Forest last season.

Tottenham Hotspur are “weighing up a bid” for Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson this summer, and the package might include players.

Ange Postecoglou, the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has had a pretty productive pre-season as supporters get a taste of his new-look offensive style, which contrasts with the more rigid ways of predecessors like Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.

The 57-year-old is entrusted with instilling optimism and hope in this Tottenham team after Conte’s tenure ended on a sour note, with the Italian publicly criticizing his teammates before departing.

There will be no European football at Spurs this season, unfortunately, and Postecoglou will be aiming to fix that by the end of the 2023/2024 campaign.

The Spurs boss has been boosted by a plethora of new signings to help in that regard, after the club completed deals for goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, youngster Ashley Phillips, defender Micky van de Ven, playmaker James Maddison, winger Manor Solomon and striker Alejo Veliz.

Postecoglou, speaking to media recently, suggested that his side could add more defensive signings and urges Tottenham to do so – as he aims to play aggressively out from the back.

“It’s not done yet,” Postecoglou added.

“We need reinforcements in that central defensive area.” We require defenders who can work in an aggressive formation, defend effectively, and defend behind them. In the following days, we’ll be looking to bring in a couple in that area.”

Tottenham have also been connected with acquisitions in the future, including Forest winger Johnson, according to a report by The Telegraph and journalist Matt Law.

Johnson, who shone for Forest under Steve Cooper last season, is a target for Spurs and might be the subject of an unusual late offer.

Indeed, it is believed Tottenham are “weighing up a bid” for the Wales international, and this approach could involve them offering one of Djed Spence, Joe Rodon or Bryan Gil in an exchange-type deal.

Not much else is said on when they could make this proposal, or if there is any money involved, but it comes as an interesting update given Johnson’s potential.

How good is Brennan Johnson?
Over the course of 2022/2023, the 22-year-old showed out as one of Forest’s major attacking players. According to WhoScored, Johnson was in the top two for efforts on goal and critical passes made per 90 minutes.

He also contributed 11 goals and three assists in the English Premier League, with Wales national team head Robert Page earlier praising the forward.

In 2022, Page stated of Johnson’s form that he’s “almost the finished article” and a “wonderful” player.

“Brennan could have made a move in January,” Page (via The Independent) speculated.

“However, he decided to stay because he was at a club where he could play and enjoy his football.”

“That speaks volumes about him. He didn’t go chasing the money. He’s almost the finished article now and Forest have got a wonderful player on their hands.

“I’ve been to watch him a few times and he’s playing with freedom. He’s really enjoying his football.”
