Spurs are keen to bring in another striker before they face Leicester on Saturday with exhausted Harry Kane taken off after missing a sitter for 3-0.

The Welshman refused to rule out the possibility of Berahino moving on before the transfer window closes but reiterated his belief that the youngster’s development would be best served at West Brom.
West Brom are standing firm on their price demand for the player while Spurs are still hoping to sign him for £5million less than his valuation. But according to the Sunday Mirror, a deal has been agreed and personal terms in the region of £100,000 a week are believed to be given the go ahead. If he gets 15, you’d says he has had a really good season.
That would leave Pochettino short of front-line option.
Roberto Soldado has moved on however, and while Emmanuel Adebayor remains, Pochettino has added Clinton N’Jie to his ranks, meaning that the seemingly imminent arrival of Berahino gives Tottenham one of the most promising and exciting front three’s in the top flight.
Pulis has already started planning for life without Berahino, who has also interested Manchester United.
That will boost the Burundi-born star’s chances of making a bid to be part of England manager Roy Hodgson’s squad that looks certain to qualify for the European Championship finals in France next summer. Albion want £25 million while Spurs are reluctant to go above £20million.
