Three transfer targets for Tottenham Hotspur this January Transfer Window

Tottenham’s season so far has been far from a mixed bag. After the departure of Gareth Bale to Real  Madrid, the price whose fiscal ramifications which will always be questioned. In came the likes of Christian Eriksen, Roberto Soldado, Erik Lamela amongts four others who were expected to tear away the Premier League defences with their sheer brute force, imagination and captivation personified. Andre Villas Boas’ men however have been the exactly opposite, scarrping only just past teams, whom they were expected to turn over.

Currently, Spurs sit seventh on the table after eleven games being five points adrift of leaders and fierce cross town rivals Arsenal. With the January Transfer Window nearing and just a month and a half away, here are three of Tottenham’s potential transfer targets which might lead their second half drive in competing for Champions League positions come next summer.

Luke Shaw:

It’s not unknown that Spurs have a headache in the left side of defence. While Jan Vertonghen has put in shifts at left back, Danny Rose has far been effective. The Independent reports that Tottenham are considering a move for Southampton full-back Luke Shaw should they fail in their attempts to sign Fabio Coentrao from Real Madrid. Shaw, 18, considered one of the hottest prospects in the Premier League, has entered Spurs’ thinking as they look to address a vulnerability in the left-back position. The Saints however are in no mood to let go off their prized youngster and it looks like they might agree to no less than £10m(according to the same report from Independent) for the 18 year old.

Alvaro Pereira:

Villas Boas has also been linked to Inter  Milan’s left back Alvaro Pereira, who has hardly started in the playing eleven for Inter this campaign. The crafty Uruguaya played a prominent role under him as a dominant Porto side claimed an astonishing run of a domestic and European treble in 2010/11. According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola Spurs have been given a go-ahead to pursue the defender and according to the same report Inter will let the defender leave on loan as he is keen to secure regular first-team football ahead of next summer’s World Cup in Samba Land, Brazil.

Javier Hernandez:

According to the Sunday Telegraph, Tottenham will bid for Manchester United’s out of favour striker Javier Hernandez, aka Chicarito if they can sell Emanuel Adebayor. The Togolese, who Tottenham had hoped he would leave last summer but a significant stumbling block is his wages said to worth up to £175,000-a-week. (Read this article from Bleacher report to understand Adebayor’s wage demands.) Spurs have been however keen to buy the 25-year-old Mexican Hernandez, nicknamed Little Pea,  for some time and will step up their interest after it became public that he has grown increasingly frustrated at his lack of opportunities at Old Trafford especially in season that culminates before the Grandest Stage of the showacse to be, the World Cup in Brazil come next year.
