Tottenham told to sign 202-goal striker alongside Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson

Tottenham have been urged to go all out to sign Victor Osimhen this summer.

The north London side are looking to avoid a third consecutive relegation battle when they begin the 2026/27 season, having narrowly escaped the drop last Sunday.

One area of the pitch Spurs must address is their frontline, with attacking trio Richarlison, Mathys Tel, and Randal Kolo Muani managing just 15 league goals between them this season.

Meanwhile, Dominic Solanke has struggled to stay fit for an extended period since joining the club.

Speaking on this week’s episode of Inside Spurs, the panel mentioned Galatasaray star Osimhen as a player who can ignite their attack.

Go for Osimhen

talkSPORT’s Sonny Snelling said: “I think we need a striker, it’s ideal to fire us up this league.

“A lot of big teams last year got in their striker, Benjamin Sesko, Victor Gyokeres, Joao Pedro and they’re all secured now.

“But there’s one striker’s name who gets touted around every year, and he is at a perfect age of 27. He’s in a league where he’s smashing it up and he should come back to a top-five league, and that’s Victor Osimhen.

“He’s not going to the World Cup because Nigeria didn’t qualify, he should come to the Premier League.

“I think he’s a top, elite striker and if you want Premier League experience, I don’t know who you would attract.”

Osimhen has been heavily linked to Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United over the past few seasons, following a breakthrough season with Napoli in 2023 and winning the Serie A title.

He went on loan to Galatasaray in 2024/25, where he became the Super Lig top goalscorer before signing permanently with the Turkish side.

Since being there, he has netted 59 goals in 74 appearances for Gala, scoring a total of 202 goals for club and country during his career.

Freebies

Spurs are set to beat Manchester United, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid to the signature of Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer.

The Argentina international has agreed to join Spurs when his contract expires on June 30.

Liverpool legend Andy Robertson is also on his way to Tottenham on a free transfer.

On the latest episode of Inside Spurs, they discussed the prospect of targeting elite players whose contracts are expiring this summer.

Tottenham broadcaster Ricky Sacks noted: “Is it a pure coincidence that we’ve been linked with players that are on free transfers, Senesi and Robertson?

“That might be what De Zerbi wants. I don’t know. What about bringing in a sporting director, it’s great that De Zerbi wants to bring in all these new players and hopefully the manager will be the main influence in the transfer market.”

Host Abbi Summers added: “I think Senesi is a great signing. I think Robertson is already a deal done in principle. Another free one, John Stones… that could be important in terms of leadership.”

Defender Cristian Romero has been regularly linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium despite signing a new contract last summer following the Europa League final victory.

The Inside Spurs panel were critical of Romero, with Snelling saying: “Everyone thinks Romero is a ‘world-class’ defender.

“He’s a great passer and he’s strong. On his day he can be good but there’s been too many instances, on and off the pitch, where you can’t trust him.

“It’s like how people say Emi Martinez is the best goalkeeper in the world, that was four years ago he won the World Cup, can we move on from it now?

“Romero can go to La Liga, even to Atletico Madrid and that’s a good transfer for him. If you bring Senesi in, he will be a player who is a similar age, more mature…

“He’s gone and done the hard yards at Bournemouth and built them up… I think it’s one of the smartest signings we’ve done in a long while.”
