ROUD AWAKENING
Former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson has claimed the club missed a trick in not signing Olivier Giroud in January.
Speaking to Football Insider, he said: “They tried to get a number nine in the January window.
“With Harry Kane’s injury, closely followed by Son’s injury and now Bergwijn they have not got anyone who is comfortable playing that position.
“To not get a striker in January has proven… It was very important.
“I think it was a real miss not getting Giroud in January. He has got game time and Chelsea and played a lot better. He would suit Mourinho perfectly – occupy the centre-backs and give space for those behind him.
“It is a difficult sell for Spurs, getting a top striker to play while Kane is out. I really think they missed a trick not signing somebody.”
