Report: Spurs now ready to smash transfer record to sign Kane replacement THEspursweb
The report explained that the club had decided that rather than securing one big-name replacement, it would be more prudent to sign a couple of forwards to give Ange Postecoglou more options for his fluid frontline.
It was suggested that the Lilywhites could thus go after a young, up-and-coming striker such as Gent’s Gift Orban.
Spurs want one top-tier striker to replace Harry Kane
However, Football Insider have now contradicted that claim, insisting that Tottenham want to secure a ‘A-list replacement’ for Kane.
The report adds that the club’s search for a big-name centre-forward is set to go into overdrive over the next couple of weeks.
It is alleged that the North London club are even prepared to shatter their previous record outlay – the £54m they paid to Lyon for Tanguy Ndombele back in 2019.
It is not a matter of spending big money but rather about identifying the right sort of player. If someone like Osimhen was available and willing to come to Spurs, it would even make sense to spend the entire Kane fee on the Nigerian.
However, spending £60m-£70m on players such as Dusan Vlahovic or Randal Kolo Muani would entail a lot of risk as there is no guarantee that they would be able to succeed in the Premier League.

Gary Lineker tells Tottenham sign Evan Ferguson as Harry Kane replacement
With Kane gone, Tottenham need to look for a long-term replacement. There’s no point signing someone like Romelu Lukaku now – it’s just not worth it.
After watching Brighton beat Luton Town this afternoon, Lineker is convinced Ferguson would be a great option to replace Kane at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He tweeted: “Evan Ferguson scores in Fergie time. He’s a born goalscorer.
“If I was in charge of recruitment at @SpursOfficial I’d take a punt on him as Kane’s replacement. Apologies to @OfficialBHAFC fans.”
If Tottenham want a young centre-forward with all the qualities you need in a striker, Evan Ferguson is perfect.
We don’t how Brighton find these young players, but the Irishman is definitely another one who they will sell for an outrageous amount of money one day.
Roberto De Zerbi would obviously love to keep hold of him, but if Tottenham go in with a huge offer, there is a chance they could reluctantly let the teenager go.
In our opinion, Ferguson would be amazing for Tottenham.
