Tottenham news: Soumare transfer decision, 7 Kane replacements and Clarke gets one over on Leeds

It's midweek Premier League action for Tottenham this week.

Jose Mourinho's Spurs side welcome Norwich City to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, hoping to record their first victory since Boxing Day and get back in the hunt for a Champions League place.

All the focus of late has been on the January transfer window and who Mourinho could bring to the club to patch up his injury-hit squad.

And there is plenty of that in our round-up of all the biggest and best Tottenham stories from the past 24 hours below.

Strikers to replace Kane

Jose Mourinho has admitted he would like to bring in another striker this month.

With talisman Harry Kane sidelined until April, Mourinho would like to add to his forward line to help Spurs qualify for the Champions League next season.

Tottenham have already been linked with plenty of them.

But who could they realistically bring in?

We take a look at seven with Premier League experience right here.

Boubakary Soumare transfer decision

Tottenham have been linked with players in other positions too.

And one midfielder whose name has often popped up, not only in relation to Spurs but with the likes of Manchester United and CHelsea too, is Boubakary Soumare.

The Lille midfielder has been tipped to move to the Premier League this month.

And he has come to a decision over his future.

Loan roundup

There was a stranger twist of fate at Loftus Road on Saturday.

Jack Clarke, who has spent his entire career with Leeds United, having been at the club as a youth and then went back on loan in the summer following a transfer to Tottenham, actually got to play against them.

With game time extremely limited under Marcelo Bielsa, Spurs recalled him and sent him out on loan to Queens Park Rangers.

And his first game for the Hoops was against Leeds.

Here's how he and all the other Spurs loanees got on at the weekend.

Improvement needed

It's fair to say Jose Mourinho's arrival at Tottenham has not yielded the improvement yet that many Spurs fans were expecting to see.

Spurs remain a long way off the Champions League places in the Premier League table and are in poor form having not won since Boxing Day.

So where is it all going wrong for Spurs?

Lucas Moura pinpoints what they need to improve right here.
