Tottenham are facing a significant selection headache after Richarlison sustained a serious hamstring injury that will keep him out for at least seven weeks.
This setback adds to a growing injury list in North London that already includes Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski.
Manager Thomas Frank confirmed today that the club is exploring options for a short-term reinforcement to ensure they remain competitive in the race for European qualification.
While Spurs recently secured the signing of Conor Gallagher to bolster their midfield, the lack of fit attacking options has forced a change in January plans.
Frank insisted the club would not engage in panic buying, but he acknowledged the urgency of the situation.
With the London Derby against West Ham United approaching, the pressure is on the recruitment team to identify a striker who can provide an immediate goal threat.
