Tottenham boss Pochettino eyes move for a striker before window closes
Despite recently purchasing Clinton Njie, who is adept both on the wing and up front, Mauricio Pochettino wants more options in his Tottenham Hotspur strikeforce.

Following Roberto Soldado's move to Villarreal and Emmanuel Adebayor being made surplus to requirements, Pochettino can only call upon Harry Kane and Njie as forwards.
The Spurs boss hopes to make a move before the transfer window closes on Sept. 1.
"It’s obvious we need to add some more in our offensive position. We identify our targets and the chairman is working very hard to bring new players in this position," Pochettino told reporters.
The Argentine also talked of how the club needs to keep hold of its best players in order to reach its ambitious goals, and singled out Christian Eriksen as an example.
"The player is happy and comfortable here and still is young. He is happy here. He has a contract and we keep the best players for the present and the future to be a good squad in the next few years to fight for the top four and try to win the Premier League one day," the manager said.
Tottenham may need to put Njie right into the thick of it on Saturday, as they face a tough trip to in-form Leicester City.
