Tottenham Hotspur are expected to prioritise signing a new striker this summer, with growing calls for the club to move for in-form Igor Thiago.
Spurs remain locked in a tense relegation battle, but their recent 2-1 win over Aston Villa has lifted them out of the drop zone and given fresh hope of survival under Roberto De Zerbi. With momentum building, attention is already starting to shift toward strengthening the squad ahead of next season—provided they secure their top-flight status.
One of the club’s biggest concerns has been the lack of a reliable goalscorer. Both Richarlison and Dominic Solanke have struggled for consistency, leaving Spurs short of firepower in key moments. As a result, bringing in a proven centre-forward has become a top priority.
That has led to strong links with Brentford striker Igor Thiago, who has enjoyed a standout campaign in the Premier League. The 24-year-old has racked up an impressive 26 goal contributions this season, putting him among the league’s most effective forwards and even drawing comparisons with Erling Haaland in terms of output.
Club insider Paul O’Keefe has urged Tottenham to make a serious move, highlighting Thiago’s ability to consistently find dangerous positions and deliver in front of goal. His form has also reportedly caught the attention of national team selectors, further underlining his rapid rise.
With Richarlison linked with a potential return to Everton and uncertainty surrounding other attacking options, Spurs are increasingly convinced they need a major upgrade up front. Thiago’s physical presence, intelligent movement, and clinical finishing make him a strong fit for De Zerbi’s high-intensity system.
A move would not come cheap, but it could prove to be a decisive step in Tottenham’s rebuild. If they are serious about climbing back up the Premier League table, securing a striker of Thiago’s calibre may be essential.
For now, survival remains the immediate focus—but plans for a reshaped attack are already taking shape behind the scenes.
