They may have picked up a much-needed Europa League win last night, but there’s no escaping the fact that this season has been a disaster for Tottenham Hotspur.
Ange Postecoglou’s side may still be in three Cup competitions, but in the Premier League, their form has been nothing short of abysmal.
The north Londoners sit in 15th place, with more losses than wins to their name, and now that Dominic Solanke is set to miss “About six weeks” In action, they may have to rely on the unreliable and injury-prone Richarlison.
However, that might not be the case for long, as recent reports have touted a sensational start to the Premier League for a move to N17, who would no doubt start ahead of the Brazilian and potentially send him packing.
Tottenham Target Premier League Gem
According to a recent TeamTalk reportTottenham are “still desperate” to bring in attacking reinforcements for Postecoglou this month and have maintained their interest in Ipswich Town star Liam Delap.
The report claims the Lilywhites are confident they could land the young striker ahead of London rivals Chelsea this month.
However, in less good news for fans, the report has also claimed that Daniel Levy does not want to get into a bidding war over the player, and given his importance to the tractors this season, other reports this month have revealed that they would demand over £40m to even entertain the thought of him leaving.
It would be an expensive transfer to get over the line, but given how well Delap has played this season and his high potential, he could be one worth paying too much for, especially since it would ultimately send Richarlison packing.
How Delap compares to Richarlison
So, when he returns to full fitness, there is no doubt that Posetcoglou will give Solanke the chance to reassert himself as Spurs’ first-choice forward, as so far this season, he has looked impressive, racking up a tally of 17 goal implications In just 29 games this season.
Therefore, if the club could get their hands on Delap this month, then he would probably play second fiddle to the Englishman, at least for a while, meaning his main competition in the team would be Richarlison, and we think that’s a competition that he would win quite easily.
For example, despite joining the North Londoners for around £60m In the summer of 2022, the former Everton star has only made 76 appearances for the club and, even worse, has only managed to score 17 goals and provide nine assists in these appearances.
That means that through his spell with the Lilywhites, the Brazil international has averaged a goal involvement every 2.92 games, which, for someone who costs as much as he does, is simply not good enough.
In contrast, Ipswich’s goal “beast”, as Voiced by Kieran McKennahas found the back of the net at eight Chances in just 22 appearances this season and provided two assists for good measure.

That means that the 21-year-old “ram” as Dubbed by OPTA analystmaintains an average share of a goal every 2.2 games in his first full season of top-flight football and for a team that many predicted would seriously struggle.
As well as looking like a more productive striker, the Winchester-born sniper also has the benefit of time on his side, as at just 21 years old, there’s no telling how good he could become five or six years from now and from now on. and with the correct training.
Ultimately, Spurs need to continue to overhaul their squad this month, and if they were to go out and sign Delap to replace Richarlison, then that would be an exceptional deal and an excellent sign for the team’s future.
