Toby Alderweireld has issued a rallying cry to Tottenham's forward players, urging them to 'step up' and fill the hole left by their striker crisis.
Jose Mourinho is without a recognised senior centre forward after both Harry Kane and Son Heung-min were sidelined by serious injuries.
Neither is expected to play much again this season and on Wednesday night Spurs missed their threat as they fell to a 1-0 defeat by RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
Mourinho compared it to going 'to fight with a gun without bullets' as he deployed Dele Alli and Lucas Moura furthest forward in north London.
