Tottenham Hotspur The campaign seems to get worse weekly.
Angie Postecoglou The side fell For their twelfth defeat Subordinate Premier League season yesterday afternoon, and if that wasn't bad enough, Dominic Solanke He was forced to sit out after becoming the latest player to join the club's growing injury list.
The Englishman has been one of the few positives for the Lilywhites this year, because although he has not necessarily been prolific, he has been effective and undoubtedly so. Good use of £65 million.
However, he could be about to reach another level, with recent reports linking the north Londoner with a Premier League star who would be an ideal teammate for the talented striker.
Tottenham target the English Premier League on a regular basis
According to A Latest report from Caught OffsideTottenham have maintained their strong interest in the Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho.
Move focus
Big money deals, controversial moves and big name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinions via Football FanCast.
The report revealed that if the Red Devils receive a good enough offer for the Argentine this month, valued at £65m, they will allow him to leave and that the north Londoners consider him a 'serious option'.
However, things are not necessarily that simple, as Serie A leaders Napoli are also keen on signing the dynamic winger, which could pose a problem for the Lilywhites.
Overall, it could be a complicated and expensive move to get over the line, but given Jarnacho's ability and potential, it is something worth fighting for, especially as it could help Solanke improve.
Why would Jarnacho improve Solanki?
So, to get straight to the point, there's one main reason why Jarnacho can help make Solanke a better striker for Spurs, and it's a simple one: his productivity.
Yes, although he is still only 20 years old, the Madrid-born winger has already proven that he can be an effective attacking enforcer in the toughest league in world football.
For example, in 50 games last season, the “exciting” talent, as he called it, emerged Written by journalist Michael BluntAnd he scored Ten goals and five assistsequivalent to an average participation in goals every 3.33 matches.
Even this year, when everything seemed to be going so badly around him, the eight-cap international scored a goal Eight goals and five assists In 32 matches, this amounts to an average of 2.46 goals per match.
Now, it is true that Son Heung-min scored the same number of goals and assisted two more Made in 27 matches this seasonBut he has played more minutes and, more importantly, the South Korean star is set to turn 33 this year, and as most fans will likely attest, he doesn't have the same explosiveness and unpredictability to his game that made him so great in the past.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that the former Atletico Madrid youth player has that, and we can see that in his basic numbers.
For example, According to FBrefwhich compares players in similar positions in the Premier League, ranks in the top 8% of attacking midfielders and wingers for progressive passes and passes into the final third, top 10% for touches in the opposition penalty area and top 12% for carries inside the penalty area. , all in 90.
So, not only does the United gem score an impressive amount of goal contributions for someone so young, but he also advances the ball up the pitch and into incredibly dangerous areas, which is precisely why Solanke loves playing with him, as much as he can get. positions to exploit this.
Furthermore, having a dynamic and unpredictable winger like Jarnacho on the left flank instead of the aging Son or the ineffective Timo Werner would naturally open up more space for the former Bournemouth player, with defenders having to mark more than one striker.
Ultimately, this may not be a deal that will immediately attract fans, but Spurs need an exciting new option from the left flank to help Solanke reach another level, and it looks like the United prospect could be the perfect choice.
