Tottenham can provide a great recruitment as a striker to fill Son Heung-min's vacancy.
England's Football Insider reported in an exclusive report on the 20th (Korea time) that `Tottenham may agree to recruit Hodrigu with Real Madrid.'
Football Insider added 'Tottenham were linked with Hodrigo, but no transfer was made in the summer. According to the news, Tottenham is likely to agree to sign Hodrigo on loan in the January transfer market. Hodrigu has started only three games for Real this season.

Tottenham will inevitably have a power vacuum in the next season due to Son Heung-min's departure this summer. Son Heung-min showed off his presence in every game he played despite scoring only seven league goals last season. It is not easy to immediately clear his vacancy, which has been responsible for one of Tottenham's attacks for as many as 10 years. Several candidates, including Hishalisson and Matisse Tel, are mentioned, but it is difficult to show as much influence as Son Heung-min immediately.
Director Thomas Frank wants to find answers from the outside. Hodrigu has emerged as a candidate. Hodrigo, who appeared on the European stage in 2019 while wearing a real uniform, was greatly loved by fans for his steady growth. La Liga helped win the European Champions League, and its unique clutch ability made fans smile. He has already scored 69 goals for Real, continuing his outstanding performance.

However, starting from the 2024-2025 season, the situation surrounding Hodrigo has changed. The biggest change was the addition of Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe comes to Real and Hodrigo has less room to play. Coach Carlo Ancelotti also could not afford Hodrigo much time. Xavi Alonso, who was newly appointed last summer while contemplating a transfer, persuaded Hodrigo to stay. Hodrigu also embraced it. But the situation has not changed. Hodrigo started only two of his 10 league appearances under Alonso, taking only 255 minutes to play.
With no choice but to think about moving, he paid attention to his moves to teams that wanted to recruit Hodrigo. Among them, Tottenham is the most active team. Tottenham's biggest problem with leaving Son Heung-min last summer is the attack. There is no solver. In the absence of a player who shows his goal-making ability at the gate, his performance is also gradually falling. The performance of Xavi Simmons, who took Son Heung-min's No. 7, is also below expectations. If you bring in Hodrigo, you can solve all these problems.

For Tottenham, if they can bring Hodrigo on loan for now, they can ease their worries about the offense this season. Attention is also focusing on whether Tottenham can really recruit Hodrigo to relieve the frustration of the attack this season.
