Jose Mourinho still wants a striker to complete ‘Tottenham puzzle’ after Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilon sign
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has reaffirmed his wish to bring in an additional striker before the close of the transfer window.
Despite the arrivals of Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid, as well as Heung-min Son's remarkable display of clinical finishing at Southampton, the Spurs boss still wants to add another striker to his squad, with Danny Ings among his targets .
Spurs have enquired about the England international and continue to monitor his contract situation – but Southampton have insisted he is not for sale at any price.
Asked if he still needed a striker, Mourinho said: "Yes.
"For a season like this we need a good squad and we need two players for each position. So there you go.
"Gareth, when fit and in condition, is one of the top players in Europe, and Sergio was amazing last season in Sevilla.
"So if you ask me if I'm happy to have these players I have to say yes I am but there are other things that make a team and make a squad. A squad is a puzzle, a squad is a puzzle and in this moment our squad is not a puzzle and that's a problem that we have to understand."
