da doce: Mexico forward Hirving Lozano continues to be linked with a move away from PSV Eindhoven, and Tottenham Hotspur should ensure that they are in the hunt for his signature.
What’s the word, then?
da dobrowin: Tottenham did not improve their squad during the summer transfer window, but it has been suggested that the capital outfit could be active at the start of 2019.
Mid-season signings are always difficult, however, and it seems more likely that Spurs will spend next summer as they bid to become a serious challenger for the Premier League title.
PSV striker Lozano is one of the hottest young talents in world football, with the 23-year-old scoring 19 times and registering 11 assists in 34 appearances for his Dutch club last term.
Lozano also made a very positive impression at the 2018 World Cup, scoring against Germany and putting in a string of bright performances.
Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Manchester United have all been linked with a move, but Tottenham should also be firmly in the hunt for his signature.
What would Lozano bring to Spurs?
As well as Lucas Moura has performed in the early stages of this season, Tottenham need more attacking options to ease the burden on Harry Kane.

Kane has scored twice in four Premier League appearances this term, but it would be fair to say that the England captain has looked tired and in need of a rest.
Lozano – valued at £27m by Transfermarkt – has also started the 2018-19 campaign in impressive form, netting twice in four league appearances for PSV.
The forward has a contract with his Dutch club until the summer of 2023, but it seems likely that he will move on sooner rather than later, and his overall game would suit Tottenham.
Indeed, Lozano showed during the World Cup that he is also prepared to work for the team, and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy should break the bank for his signature.
