William Gallas tells Spurs which transfers to make to win Premier League

William Gallas tells Spurs which transfers to make to win Premier LeagueGetty
He had two positions in mind.

Former Tottenham defender William Gallas believes the side need to sign a new striker if they want to win the Premier League.

The Frenchman, who also represented Chelsea and Arsenal in England, thinks a central defender is required to bolster the backline, too.

Spurs will likely look to Timo Werner and Heung-min Son as their main goalscorers next season and, speaking to Gambling Zone, Gallas wants more.

He explained: “I still think the club has an awful lot of work to do in the transfer market. They need one striker who can score 20 goals. Last season, they didn't have that striker. 

"Son played a lot through the middle last season and he carried the goalscoring burden. In the end, he wasn’t capable of scoring 20 goals, and I actually prefer him in the wide areas, so Tottenham need to go out and find a 20 goal-a-season striker this summer. 

“If you want to win the league, if you want to get into the Champions League, you need that player who can fire you there. You need at least one player who will score a minimum of 20 goals. That is simple. 

“When you have a player like that, defenders can get distracted, and it creates room for your other attackers to hurt the opponent. It gives your attacking teammates more freedom.”
