Tottenham Transfer Rumours: 5 Players That Would Immediately Improve the Spurs
Tottenham is a legitimate contender for a Champions League spot in the upcoming season. Harry Redknapp and his squad know how to fight to get to the tournament.
The top of the Premier League has become tighter and tighter with the emergence of Manchester City and Tottenham to rival the big four (Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool, which is back on the rise).
The Spurs know what it is like to compete in the Champions League and play against the best clubs in Europe. They are a team that has a good chance of getting back there.
This upcoming season they will be playing in the Europa League instead of the Champions League. That is a huge step down for a club as talented as the North London side.
This is a list of five players who will help the Tottenham Hotspurs once again contend for a Top Four spot on the Premier League table.
Didier Drogba
1 of 5
Didier Drogba is a proven goal-scorer in the Premier League and the Champions League.
Drogba has had a great career for Chelsea, but it seems it is time for him to move on from Roman Abramovich’s club.
With the arrival of Fernando Torres, Drogba has been pushed to the side. No longer is he the top striker for the Blues.
Tottenham is in need of a strong, athletic striker like Didier Drogba, with the likes of Roman Pavlyuchenko and Jermain Defoe heading towards the door.
Drogba is a player who can use his strength and speed to get behind defenders.
His biggest strength that Tottenham will enjoy is his ability to play with his back to the goal. He will bring the likes of Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart into the attack, freeing them to take on players, one on one, and get shots off.
Lassana Diarra
2 of 5
Lassana Diarra is a center defensive midfielder who is spending his time in a Real Madrid midfield that does not need him. His minutes are going to be reduced in upcoming seasons.
Diarra is, more likely than not, going to be sitting on the bench for Real Madrid next season because of the talent in their midfield. They are likely to add more in the offseason.
Diarra is a player who can come back and receive the ball from the defenders and then find passing lanes. He can make runs off the ball to link up with the strikers and kick-start attacks.
He also is a player who is very familiar with the Premier League, as he has played for Chelsea, Arsenal and Portsmouth.
Scott Parker
3 of 5
Scott Parker adds leadership and creativity to the Tottenham midfield.
He is a proven Premier League talent, who garners respect from players and managers across the league.
When West Ham was relegated to the Championship, it was certain that Parker would be making his way out the door and staying in the Premier League with a club.
Harry Redknapp and Tottenham is a great option.
Parker is a hard player who likes to get in on tackles, and when he can get in on attacks, even score a goal here and there.
Joe Cole
4 of 5
Joe Cole is a player with so much potential. But he has had a rough time in the last few seasons getting into his teams' starting 11s.
Cole moved from Chelsea to Liverpool just last year, but it is very feasible that he will be moving away from the Reds in this offseason.
He is a player who can play on the outside and in the middle of the pitch. He also is creative and attack-minded.
These characteristics make him coveted by most of the teams in the Premier League.
Tottenham has a very strong midfield, but Cole would fit in well.
Asamoah Gyan
5 of 5
Asamoah Gyan put together a very strong season with Sunderland, which has made him a player on many managers' transfers' list.
He is a striker from Ghana who has a knack for the spectacular. He is a creative player who will add to the great style of play of Harry Redknapp’s men.
With reports of Jermain Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko looking likely to leave, a player like Gyan will make all Spurs fans breath easier.
He is a reliable player who will definitely score a lot of goals and help Tottenham get back into the Top Four.
