Tottenham Hotspur began their transfer activity this summer with the signing of Victor Wanyama from Southampton.
The Kenyan's arrival reinforces an area of strength and fortifies the Premier League's strongest midfield.
Spurs must now turn their attention to reinforcing their comparatively thin attacking options.
As it stands, Tottenham still have only one specialist centre-forward in Harry Kane.
Clinton Njie is an option in reserve but is incapable of the hold-up and creative play that Mauricio Pochettino's system demands of the striker.
Heung-Min Son, Nacer Chadli and even Erik Lamela could all deputise in that role in an emergency, but none match Kane's versatility.
