There could be several changes at White Hart Lane.
After finishing sixth in the Premier League and sacking two managers, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking for significant improvements from 2013/14 under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine has been appointed as Tim Sherwood’s successor and the 42-year-old will be tasked with trying to guide the North Londoners to the Champions League spots next season.
Despite spending over £100m on new players last summer, chairman Daniel Levy is sure to provide Pochettino with some funds to put his own stamp on the squad at White Hart Lane.
One key area for improvement is upfront, where Emmanuel Adebayor was the only striker to show any decent form last term and support for the 30-year-old, Roberto Soldado and Harry Kane is needed.
Here are five forwards Spurs have their eye on.
Mario Balotelli, AC Milan
With a lack of Champions League football it could be difficult to tempt Balotelli to North London, although the 23-year-old currently doesn’t have top European football at Milan either.
Despite having only returned to the San Siro in January 2013 after two-and-a-half years at Manchester City, the Italy international is frustrated in his home country and is ready for another switch.

Javier Hernandez, Manchester United
With first team opportunities hard to come by at Old Trafford currently the attacker known as ‘Chicharito’ is likely to be open to a move away from the Red Devils.
The 26-year-old is now behind Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck for a place in the starting XI and could be just the poaching player Tottenham require.

Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea
Despite the fact this Belgium international has scored 32 league goals in two loan spells with West Bromwich Albion and Everton in the last 24 months, Blues manager Jose Mourinho is still unsure of his credentials.
Therefore Spurs could give Lukaku a route out of Stamford Bridge, although will have to pay a significant fee to land the 21-year-old.

Alvaro Morata, Real Madrid
This youngster has been left frustrated at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu as due to a plethora of talent available to head coach Carlo Ancelotti the 21-year-old finds game time limited.
Morata top-scored at the 2013 Under-21 European Championships and is considered one of the hottest prospects in Spanish football.

Loic Remy, QPR
Finally it is someone who is proven in the English top flight after scoring 14 league goals on-loan with Newcastle United last term and could be available for a relatively cheap fee.
Remy has a £9m release clause written into his contract at Loftus Road, although Spurs will have to fight off the interest of other top sides to sign the 27-year-old.
