Tottenham fans joke about 3 strikers Daniel Levy should sign on transfer deadline day

It is clear the one thing on Tottenham supporters minds' on transfer deadline day - signing a new striker.

It's not just the fans tough, chairman Daniel Levy is trying to sign a new frontman for head coach Jose Mourinho too.

Whether one will arrive though, is another matter.

Talisman Harry Kane suffered a hamstring injury during the New Year's Day game with Southampton and will be out of action until at least April as a result.

That leaves Spurs light up front, with no recognised first team striker on the books.

Seventeen-year-old Troy Parrott is not trusted to lead the line just yet, while neither Lucas Moura nor Son Heung-min are out-and-out strikers.

Steven Bergwijn has joined the club from PSV Eindhoven and can play up front, but his preferred position is out wide.

Many names have been linked with a move to N17, with the likes of Willian Jose from Real Sociedad and Chelsea's Olivier Giroud the most likely to come in if Spurs do sign anyone on deadline day.

But the pessimistic among the Spurs fanbase, which amounts to quite a few, believe another window will pass without a striker arriving at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And the gallows humour is strong on Twitter among the Tottenham fans, who have joked about three strikers who could join today - two retired former Tottenham men and one who was continually linked with a move to north London in the early 2010s.

It is clear to see that the Tottenham fans want to see a striker, any striker arrive at the club in the final hours of the January transfer window.

Spurs have already signed Gedson Fernandes and Bergwijn this month, with Giovani Lo Celso making his loan move permanent too.

But a striker is what they want. Will they get one?
