Solanke has an opportunity to build momentum when he faces Coventry City on Monday. However, the club must also plan for the possibility that further investment will be needed, particularly if they want greater reliability and depth in attack.
Recruiting another striker is unlikely to come cheap, especially if Tottenham target a player capable of making an immediate impact. The potential cost of such a deal will influence how much further business they can conduct during the window.
