Lambert To Tottenham Hotspur
Mauricio Pochettino is about to make an audacious to bring Rickie Lambert to White Hart Lane according to the latest media reports.
Pochettino wants to take Lambert to North London as back up to Harry Kan although he is also looking to sign further attacking options.
Tony Pulis will have something to say about that and is quoted in the Liverpool Echo as saying about Lambert.
"Rickie is available,” Pulis said. "Liverpool have made that known. We’d be interested. It’s very important that we get players who will score goals. Rickie’s got a great goalscoring record.”
Liverpool are looking to offload Lambert who is now way down the pecking order at Anfield and unlikely to even get on the bench this season given that he is one of 8 strikers, unless there is a major injury crisis.
A move to Spurs would be lucrative for Lambert, but footballing wise h would be far better at West Brom, at White Hart Lane he would be in the same position he was last season at Anfield, ie struggling to get much game time, whereas at West Brom he would have a far better chance of playing a big part in their season.
