Former Tottenham star Teddy Sheringham urges Ange Postecoglou's side to pip their north London rivals Arsenal to the signing of £100m-rated striker in January

Former Tottenham star Teddy Sheringham has urged Spurs to beat Arsenal to the signing of Ivan Toney in January.

Ange Postecoglou's side have not been found wanting in the chance creation department and have responded well to the departure of Harry Kane last summer.

New skipper Son Heung-min has taken the mantle of chief goalscorer, while his performance on the wing against Newcastle - where he provided two assists - showed he is still capable of excelling out wide.

Despite scoring in every game this season, Spurs have only managed to net more than two goals in a game on two occasions, leaving Sheringham to argue that a more clinical No 9 is needed.
