The Tottenham Hotspur hierarchy will know that the Europa League win papered over massive cracks in the squad this season.
A cup trophy was crucial for confidence, but won’t make up for the atrocious performances in the Premier League.
Spurs need to reinforce the roster this summer to bounce back and challenge for a UEFA Champions League slot.
Tottenham are already looking at targets for the summer transfer window, and it appears the North Londoners are sniffing around a rival player.
According to talkSPORT, Tottenham have made a surprise enquiry for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku as the Frenchman edges closer to a summer exit from Stamford Bridge.
Spurs are exploring the possibility of keeping the 27-year-old in London amid interest from Bayern Munich, who have long admired the versatile attacker.
The Bundesliga giants approached Nkunku in January but were deterred by the £50 million price tag Chelsea put on him. They remain keen.
While Nkunku is open to a return to Germany, the report claims he is equally receptive to continuing his career in the Premier League.
That has opened the door for Tottenham, who are quietly monitoring the situation and weighing up a potential move.
Nkunku endured a stop-start campaign due to injury but still managed 14 goals and five assists in 42 appearances across all competitions.
The former RB Leipzig forward possesses intelligent movement and creativity. He can also play across the front line. He would offer Spurs gaffer Ange Postecoglou a new dimension in attack.
Despite all these exciting qualities, Nkunku is a player Tottenham must avoid at all costs, in our opinion.
Nkunku struggled to lead the line at Stamford Bridge. Granted it is not his favourite position, but he did not make an impact when played in the number 10 role or on the wing.
The Paris Saint-Germain Academy graduate prefers to dovetail a proper centre-forward, and that will mean Postecoglou playing a two-striker formation to get the best out of him.
Tottenham need either a number 10 or a winger. Nkunku is something in between and does not fit the bill.
Also, his defensive application left much to be desired. He struggles to press and cover space, leaving the Blues exposed this season when he was on the pitch. Avoid!
