Tottenham eyeing 32 goal striker to bolster front line image

Tottenham Hotspur are enjoying a nice start to the Premier League season, but the club continues to struggle with injuries. 

Dominic Solanke has played just over 30 minutes in the league this season, after suffering an ankle injury that has required surgery. 

Solanke has struggled with injuries throughout his time with Spurs, and the surgery will keep the striker out for several months. 

Summer signing Randal Kolo Muani has also been kept out with an injury, but he's returning to fill fitness. 

Richarlison has been the main striker for Thomas Frank's side, but he has also had an injury riddled career for the London club. 

Frank is now exploring a move for a proven striker, with 32 goals to his name for FC Porto.

Which striker is Tottenham interested in?

According to Football Insider, Tottenham are monitoring Porto's Samu Aghehowa, who has been on the radar of several clubs. 

The striker has been phenomenal for Porto, scoring five goals in seven matches already this season. The Spaniard had 19 goals and three assists in 30 league games last season.

With Spurs injury woes, Aghehowa could become a key target for the club. He has an £86m release clause, but with the recent cash injection that Tottenham received, the club might opt to go for the high flying striker.

Aghehowa has a strong presence on the field, and his age of 21 makes him a long-term solution for Tottenham's attack. 

Chelsea and Newcastle have previously been linked with the striker, but Spurs problems could push the club into making a January bid.
