Oh Hyeon-Gyu's 100% display shows he would be perfect Tottenham January signing after source's reveal

Tottenham Hotspur's problems are unlikely to vanish despite splashing over £300million on transfers during the summer.

Savio and Sandro Tonali have been positive additions, but Spurs are currently sitting bottom of the Premier League table after five games.

Current predictions have the Lilywhites finally being relegated from the top tier of English football, with multiple concerning areas that need addressing.

Before the 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, Spurs had even failed to hit the back of the net, with Omar Marmoush blanking and Dominic Solanke working back to full fitness.

Football Insider understands that multiple players could be sold in January to fund a new centre-forward signing, which is much-needed already.

Sunderland's Brian Brobbey is being linked, but with an eye-watering price tag attached, looking elsewhere will be the best idea for Roberto De Zerbi.

Tottenham could reignite a move for Oh Hyeon-Gyu

One player that Spurs have previously had on their radar is Besiktas' Oh Hyeon-Gyu, with Manchester United also interested.

The 25-year-old has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, but he chose to leave Genk for Turkey in February 2026 instead.

Formerly of Celtic, Oh has experience in the United Kingdown, which would likely help him settle into life in North London were he to make the switch in January.

While the 6ft 2in striker only has two goal contributions in 13 games in 2026-27, the signing of Dusan Vlahovic has knocked him down the pecking order.

International duty has given him the perfect chance to prove himself, netting in South Korea's 3-0 win over Ecuador on Thursday, 24 September.

Roberto De Zerbi already desperate for January additions

Oh opened the scoring just before the hour mark, with Spurs legend Son Heung-min doubling the South Korean's lead just four minutes later.

In 75 minutes, he completed 92 per cent of his passes, scored with a 100 per cent shot accuracy, completed 50 per cent of his dribbles, and took 27 touches [FotMob].

The Besiktas forward also won three fouls, entered into eight duels, made two recoveries, and left the pitch as one of his team's best performers.

De Zerbi desperately needs fighters in the team if Spurs are to avoid relegation, and the addition of Oh's work rate is exactly what is needed in the January window.
