Flashscore said Tottenham want to add more firepower to their attack and would like to bring in a striker during the January transfer window if the right opportunity emerges. That plan was discussed alongside Will Lankshear's situation at Middlesbrough.
Tottenham's striker plans
According to Flashscore, Tottenham are looking to strengthen their attack and want to sign a striker in the January transfer window if a suitable opening becomes available.
Lankshear's start at Middlesbrough
Will Lankshear joined Middlesbrough at the start of the season and signed a five-year contract at the Riverside Stadium. He has scored 13 goals in 13 Championship appearances.
Flashscore said Lankshear is the division's leading scorer and has scored in five consecutive matches. Flashscore also said Middlesbrough have climbed to the top of the table.
The position on a return option
As part of Lankshear's transfer, sources told Flashscore that Tottenham secured preferential terms if they want to bring him back.
Tottenham insiders told Flashscore there is no current direction of travel towards exercising that option or any expectation of an attempt to bring Lankshear back any time soon.
Fee details
Flashscore said the initial fee for Lankshear is understood to be around £10million. Flashscore said performance-related add-ons could take the overall package closer to £20m.
