Tottenham are eyeing a move for Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey after his Premier League hat‑trick at the Etihad against Manchester City.Tottenham Hotspur might have splashed the cash heavily in the summer transfer window, but their focus already appears to be on January.The Lewis Family recently injected £120 million into Spurs, some of which could be used in the upcoming transfer market.So far this season, Tottenham’s attack has been the main problem area, with the club scoring just two goals in the Premier League.Those goals came from Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke, leaving Spurs’ centre-forwards without a single strike to their name. Given the struggles in attack, Tottenham now look to be in the market for a new forward.Photo by Mark Cosgrove/News Images/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesTottenham eye Sunderland striker Brian BrobbeyAccording to Football Insider, Tottenham are understood to be in the race for Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey. The Dutchman has enjoyed a more impressive Premier League campaign than Spurs’ strikers, scoring three goals in five games.B.

The striker is now sidelined with a hamstring injury, sustained while on duty with the Netherlands, and is expected to be out for a few weeks.Reports suggest Tottenham could make a move this winter, though Sunderland are set to demand £50 million for his services – a huge profit just 18 months after his arrival.Pete O’Rourke wrote: “Obviously if you’re scoring goals and performing well, there’s going to be interest from top clubs in you, that’s for sure.“Brobbey’s hat-trick against Man City has not done him any harm whatsoever, but Sunderland are keen to keep hold of him.”Spurs must weigh up Brobbey gambleWhile scoring a hat-trick is impressive, Spurs must be cautious about buying into the hype.Brobbey managed just seven goals across last season, failing to hit double figures, which raises questions about whether he can significantly improve Tottenham’s attack.B.

It is understood that Richarlison could be headed out in January following several failed transfer attempts in the summer transfer window.If Tottenham are prepared to spend £50 million on a player who has not yet proven he can outperform one they are willing to sell, it raises serious questions about whether the club are truly looking to raise their levels in the winter window.READ MORE: Kieran McKenna eyes Tottenham and Man United jobs as pressure mounts on Roberto De ZerbiThe post Tottenham consider £50m move for in-form striker who already has a hat-trick this season appeared first on Spurs Web.
