Tottenham Hotspur’s front line impressed throughout the 2024/25 campaign, displaying impressive figures despite their Premier League standard.
The Lilywhites posted a total of 64 league goals during their 38 outings – an average of 1.68 per match, with only six teams in the division that marked more during the same period.
Brennan Johnson finished as the club’s top scorer with 11 goals, obtaining an impressive turnaround after the criticism of the supporters led the Welsh international to deactivate his social media accounts.
His change in 47.5 million pounds Sterling in Nottingham Forest was considered a huge investment, but given his goal in the Europa League final, he now seems to be well spent money by the hierarchy.
They have the opportunity to get another contract of this magnitude this summer, the new boss Thomas Frank undoubtedly needs funds to transform the team before 2025/26.
The last on spurs hunting for new additions this summer
Over the past two weeks, the new attackers have been on Spurs radar, while the hierarchy seeks to further increase the options currently available in the last third.
Antoine Semenyo de Bournemouth was constantly presented as a potential option for the club, the Lilywhites in a battle with Manchester United for the signing of the Ghanaian.
However, another name has been mentioned in the past two days, with Yoane Wissa de Brentford also on the club’s radar, according to The Guardian.
They report that the hierarchy had internal interviews on a decision for Dr. Congo International, who scored 19 league goals in 35 appearances under Frank this campaign.
He also indicates that they could face the competition from Nottingham Forest, after the Nuno Espírito Santo team is once again entering the race after rejecting an offer of 22 million pounds Sterling in January.
Why would Wissa be a better signature than Mbeumo for Spurs
After the arrival of Frank de Brentford last week, it is not surprising to see some of the former DANE players linked to a move in northern London during the Deadly.
Alongside Wissa, the winger Bryan Mbeumo was also mentioned as a potential target, not surprisingly, given his 20 goals for bees in 2024/25.
Cameroonian was one of the most dangerous attackers of this season, being one of the only five players in the division who achieved such a feat.
However, Frank will face strong competition from Manchester United for the 25 -year signing, this window, London hold asking for the costs in the region of 70 million pounds sterling to separate from him this summer.
Such a fee seems a little abrupt, any arrival pending for playing time on the top scorer Johnson, which could be a controversial decision given its form this campaign.
Consequently, Wissa would be a better addition, with the “incredible” striker, as labeled by Frank, offering a central option – a position that has been a struggle since the departure of Harry Kane.
By comparing his statistics to those of the current Talisman Dominic Solanke, he managed to surpass him in many key areas, presenting the need to continue a decision for the Congolese star.

He massively outlined the signature of the club club, while posting a higher shot on the target rate – presenting his clinical nature in the last third.
The Bees star also finished more passes and made more passes in the last third, handing over to Johnson to improve his own deadlines in 2025/26.
Its versatile quality is also reflected in its aerial success rate and its gradual litters by 90, capable of playing as a focal point or playing on the defender’s shoulder if necessary.
We do not know how much the bees would require his signature this summer, but he has proven that he is a leading attacker from the Premier League who could still improve the fortune of the Spurs.
Given its impact, the hierarchy must pass beyond Mbeumo and focus on Wissa, his addition, which will give Frank another attacking star in his quest in northern London.
