EPL 2016/17 - 5 players Spurs should sign

Arda Turan has failed to really make a mark in his short time with Barcelona

The transfer window is reaching its final portion as clubs are only a signing or two away from completing their business in the market. While some clubs have spent at great lengths to maximize the potential of their squad, some have made slight tweaks to fix the cracks.

And Spurs are one of the latter. With only Vincent Janssen and Victor Wanyama making their way into the club, one gets the feeling that the North London club could sign some more players to declare themselves as genuine contenders for the title.

With just over 20 days left for the window to slam shut, here are 5 players Spurs could sign to strengthen their team…

#1 Arda Turan

When Barcelona signed him from Atletico Madrid, a lot of hopes were placed on his shoulders. Fans were as excited as rival supporters were worried. And why not? The Turk is a magician with the ball at his feet and can play anywhere behind the striker.

Spurs may have some talented names in their squad, but when it comes to creative passing, only one player falls in the same bracket as the Barcelona star: Christian Eriksen.

We have often seen Tottenham struggle to break the rigid mid-table teams’ defenses last season—something that ultimately cost them the title. However, with Arda on board, there will be someone to share the creative workload with the Dane—who often becomes the victim of over-dependence.
