Tottenham Hotspur are in need of a new number nine following a lacklustre start to the season in front of goal.

Jan Paul van Hecke is currently the leading goal scorer for Spurs this term, with just two goals.

Meanwhile, Spurs' current striker options have been thoroughly underwhelming during the first ten Premier League games.

Dominic Solanke has not been the same since his injury, Omar Marmoush is struggling to find his best position, and Richarlison was not included in the squad.

Roberto De Zerbi should be demanding the signing of a striker during the January transfer window.

Tottenham are prepared to go big on a striker; however, the current number nine market is quite sparse.

But there is one option that could become available during the winter window, and it is a player whom Arsenal are targeting.

Tottenham should be looking to go head-to-head with Arsenal for the signing of Endrick in January.

The Gunners are believed to be targeting a move for the Brazilian striker during the January window, according to TalkSPORT.

Despite his lack of minutes at Madrid, the 20-year-old remains one of the best young talents playing in Europe.

Jose Mourinho has not shown much interest in playing Endrick since returning to Madrid.

The Portuguese coach has given Endrick just 141 minutes this term, with just one start in La Liga.

Despite Mourinho telling TNT Sports that Endrick is a player with 'great potential', it's clear that he is not part of his plans on a regular basis.

Endrick has just done an interview with Diario AS, revealing that he could be open to leaving in January.

Madrid paid £60 million to sign him from Palmerias back in 2022, and they would likely demand a similar fee to sell him.

Endrick had a superb loan spell at Lyon last season, producing eight goals and eight assisrs in matches.

He could now be the perfect option for one of the two North London Premier League clubs, and Spurs should be considering him.

However, Eli Junior Kroupi is the attacker who should be at the top of Tottenham's list for the January window.

The French youth international has just returned from a foot injury, which prevented him from moving in the summer.

Following his impressive debut season in the Premier League, Spurs should be all over the 20-year-old if the chance arises again.
