Tottenham needs a new striker; the loss of Harry Kane was already felt as Spurs drew 2-2 with Brentford on the opening week of the Premier League. Kane also had a debut to forget for Bayern Munich as the team lost the German Super Cup with a 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig.
Now according to The Sun and other sources, Spurs have a striker in mind, and he plays for rivals Arsenal. That striker is USMNT player Folarin Balogun, who has no place on the first team squad.
