Ange Postecoglou is slowly building a team of world-beaters – but there are still pieces of the Tottenham Hotspur puzzle to fill.
The Aussie manager has brought in some tremendous talent, which has been dazzling so far this season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The likes of James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario have all been superb. But it could be better.
One position that isn’t necessarily locked down yet has to be that number nine. Rumours are circulating that an absolute speed demon could be brought in – who would transform Postecoglou’s side once again.

According to a report in The Sunday Mirror (10/12; page 67), Tottenham Hotspur are considering a sensational move for RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda.
The Belgian forward has been having a phenomenal season in the Bundesliga, with 14 goals in 22 matches across all competitions so far.
He was signed from Lens last season, but his dazzling performances have caught the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs – with Spurs firmly in that bracket.

Not only this, he fits in perfectly with the dynamism of Spurs’ attacking style of play. He’s so quick off the mark and is fantastic on the break – perfect
