Tottenham must NOT have knee-jerk reaction to Harry Kane injury says Simon Jordan, who suggests Spurs hijack Gonzalo Higuain’s move to Chelsea
Tottenham must not have a knee-jerk reaction to Harry Kane’s injury and should stick to their successful ‘methodology’, according to former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan.Spurs are set to be without Kane until early March due to an ankle injury the England international suffered in Sunday’s defeat by Manchester United.He joins Lucas Moura in the treatment room, while their fellow attacker Heung-Min Son is also unavailable for selection as he is now competing with South Korea in the Asian Cup.Mauricio Pochettino has been left with a selection headache, but there are two weeks remaining before the January transfer window closes meaning there is more than enough time for Tottenham to complete any deals if they intend to solve their problems by signing players.3

Both Son and Kane are unavailable, with Lucas Moura also absent through injury

talkSPORT exclusively revealed earlier today (Wednesday) that a ‘top-level meeting’ has been planned by the Tottenham hierarchy to discuss their options moving forward, with loan signings considered a potential solution.Permanent deals appear less likely given the lack of business Tottenham have completed in recent January transfer windows, but a move for Nabil Fekir, the France and Lyons attacker, has been rumoured.Paying a huge transfer fee to sign a big-name player would go against Spurs’ recent approach to recruitment, and Simon Jordan has urged the club not to break from tradition just because they find themselves in a challenging situation.

Speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT, the former Palace chief said: “What they must not do is deviate from their intrinsic game plan and the methodology they’ve deployed so far that’s got them where they are.“Spurs need to think about what they want to do, rather than what other people think they should do – and Daniel will be resolute in that as that is his way of operating.”Nonetheless, it is evident Tottenham need someone to solve their attacking woes with Kane, Son and Lucas all unavailable right now. Fernando Llorente is one option, but he hardly inspires faith, while Pochettino has ruled out Vincent Janssen making an unlikely comeback into Spurs’ senior set-up.talkSPORT revealed that 16-year-old academy striker Troy Parrott, a Republic of Ireland youth international, could be considered by Pochettino for a promotion into the first-team, with the youngster to be rewarded for some excellent displays at Under-18 and Under-23 level.3

Parrott could be in line to make his Spurs debut, aged only 16

But Jordan feels Tottenhamshould use the transfer market to solve their crisis – but only if Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, uses it wisely.“They need a striker,” Jordan continued. “If I was in their shoes I’d be looking at Higuain or someone of that nature – try to hijack that deal.“I would take him on loan rather than go knee-jerk ‘we need to jump into the market now and buy a player’.3

Could Tottenham hijack Chelsea’s move to sign Higuain?

“And Daniel won’t do it – he won’t knee-jerk; he’ll try to find a solution that is cerebral in its thinking rather than just ‘let’s let everyone take our pants down simply because there is a need’.”Tottenham’s London rivals Chelsea hope to sign Argentina forward Higuain this month, with the 31-year-old reportedly set to cut short his loan deal with Milan to join the Blues on similar terms.Despite Jordan’s claim, Spurs have not been linked with the Juventus striker as of yet.
