Potential Arrival at White Hart Lane

Although Spurs are sitting in a respectable 6th place in the Barclays Premier League, it is still clearly evident that they need to sign a striker. With up and coming youngster Harry Kane leading the front line by himself, it shows how much Totttenham are relying on an in-experienced forward to score their goals.
In fairness to Kane, he has proven himself throughout the season with his endless running and his deadly eye for goal. However, as shown on Saturday at Selhurst Park, it is clear that the 21 year old needs some support up top.

With Aston Villla being the lowest scoring team in the league and also having a poor season, it is the perfect opportunity to snatch up their star man, Christian Benteke. The Belgian international has proven to people that he can perform at the top level, but being at Aston Villa, it is quite clear that he is not getting the support that he needs to be a clinical striker.


Nacer Chadli has been in great form recently for Tottenham
However, the Lily Whites are not the only team with their eyes on the 24 year old. It is reported that Liverpool are intrested in Benteke too due to the poor form of Mario Balotelli this season. I think that this would be a key signing for Spurs, someone that Kane can learn from and establish a good partnership with. It is also evident that Benteke will get the support that he requires with Nacer Chadli playing extremely well at the moment, along with Andros Townsend.

This means that Tottenham could revert back to the standard 4-4-2 formation of Kane and Benteke leading the front line. For this transfer to happen, it is reported that Aston Villa have set a £15m price tag on the Aston Villa striker
