Two days to go to the close of Jan transfer window. Its possible, we may not have any new back up striker. Just looking within the squad, Chadli IMO looks to be obvious backup.This is Chadli's 3rd season at Spurs. He may not be everyone's preferred starting XI player but end of the day, he does the job.
Goals Scored/Assisted per minutes played (all competitions) :
2013/14 (5 goals/6 assists / 1921 mins) - 174 mins
2014/15 (13 goals/5 assists / 2947 mins) - 163 mins
2015/16 (5 goals/5 assists / 1082 mins) - 108 mins
This stat of Chadli's is only behind Kane who had scored/assisted per 99min last season. Son this season has 118 mins.
Chadli can hold the ball & score on both foots & headers as well. He may not affect the game as Kane does but he has knack of scoring when least expected. Also, he is a player on the up. He was one of "the 7" who gets constantly ridiculed but to be honest, for 7m he has been a steal in hindsight. Pochettino has improved his game & this season after a injury spell, he looks fresh & threatening to score most times.
Other back up candidate - Son. While he is good, I guess he is still light weight for the upfront role. I would rather have him play RW than striker to get the best out of him.
