Will Spurs Replace Kane In The Transfer Window?
We Have To
No Chance
Despite scoring just four goals this season as stats from Transfermarkt show, some Spurs fans on social media were seemingly keen on Piatek joining the club this window as a replacement for Kane, with supporters still remembering how prolific the 24-year-old striker was last season for Milan as well as Genoa.
Here’s what some Tottenham fans had to say about Piatek on Twitter, with a few supporters keen on a deal being completed…

LEVY PLEASE

There are hardly any quality strikers we can get in January. ACT NOW!— #ENICout (@MattyFrench82) January 8, 2020
Yes. He’s class, Milan are currently incredibly poor. Smashed it at Genoa, would you say they have better service than he’d get at Spurs?..

The Guardian report states that Spurs aren’t looking for a permanent deal for Piatek.
